A blueberry machine picks berries that need to go to a canary where the blueberry is turned to juice. My job is to pick up the blueberry at certain sections of the farm, load it up into a trailer and also to leave behind empty boxes in which the machine can store more berry in. At the job I learned that being on time matters. Even if you are late a minute or two, the machine has to stop and has to wait for you to catch up. My uncles are the owners of the farm. They let me know where the machine is going this day and I do my best and arrive on time each time. My co-workers are my cousins and the men who operate the machine. The hardest part of the job is probably the heat.  The most enjoyable part of the job is the challenging aspect. Everyday the machine starts at a new location. The challenging aspect is whether to go route A or route B. Again with this job time management is important so it is always a challenge when decided which direction to go and if you will make it on time.

I like being outdoors and to have fun at work. I went with a few friends and worked a few days morning till the evening and we were paid per bin. lots of bending and standing. you used clips to pick the grapes and used a bucket to fill the bin.

A fun and easy job, perfect starter job for a high school student like myself at the time, was able to collect income and experience in a suitable environment .

My time at Squires was thoroughly enjoyable and productive. I had excellent support and encouragement from Group office. Adequate training was also given which helped and enhanced my given job.

The long time staff are great to work with and the "holiday" staff are a nice change.  The hours are long but totally worth it for the satisfaction of the job.

Long shifts with early starts and late finishes. Have to pay for food on breaks as only 50% off. Really friendly team and keep the tips you get with small tip out to kitchen at the end of a shift. 

I learned oraginization skills, good work ethic, and co-operating with other in the day to day work. The work was not easy, but enjoyed working with the people more than the job.

i love the job i currently do, it is a very challenging and demanding job, which can completely change from one day to the next. i get to meet all sorts of people.

hard labour good money digging holes its good money u have to do it by the tides only dig at low tides

I only worked there temporarily through out the course of the summer holidays along side my step mum. Sorry it's not much.
