Assistance with sorting organic beet root, Bünzen Switzerland
The experience
Your main task will be to assist us with the daily sorting and preparation of freshly harvested organic beetroot. Typically, you will only be working in the mornings; your afternoons are free, though in the afternoon you are always welcome to join us if you wish.
The work is relatively simple—and can even be meditative once you get the hang of it.
