Central Otago and the appeal of working on an orchard or packhouse is featured in an article in the December issue of Motorhomes, Caravans & Destinations.
The magazine went on sale 3 December and hopefully will generate some interest in summerfruit industry work among the 'grey nomads' who have their own motorhome accommodation and are fit and keen on earning money over summer. Readership of the magazine is 78,000 people but it reaches many more via digital publishing and social media support.
Recently Summerfruit NZ has been approached by motorhome owners wanting to find work in places that have campgrounds and suitable facilities. Growers and packers keen to attract this cohort should look at placing job listings that easily identify their workplaces as 'motorhome-friendly'.
