Activities & Shift
Daily activities include caring for and managing the tomato plants inside the greenhouses, helping during harvest phases, and routine maintenance of all the agricultural land and company facilities. The activities mainly take place in the morning to avoid the hotter temperatures of the day and run five days a week, guaranteeing two full days of rest to relax and explore the area.

We ask for the highest punctuality in the agreed times and scrupulous respect for the company’s equipment and shared spaces. It is essential to always keep your accommodation and the work area clean and tidy, in addition to wearing clothing suitable for rural life, including appropriate and sturdy footwear to move around safely.
