Program Details
We are growing various kinds of fruits and doing fruit picking as business. We are one of the largest fruit farms in Yamanashi and the largest fruit picking farm in Minami Alps City.
We ask volunteers for five hours help per day and two days off during a week, or six hours help per day and three days off. The working hour is about 25 hours per week, it depends on the weather. As we are very busy, volunteers need to take care of meals by yourselves on days off. On days off, volunteers need to do cleaning the whole dorm and facilities where you stay.
Activities & Shift
Usually volunteers start working from 9am, one hour lunch at noon time (lunch hour doesn't count as working hour). Work will be finished around 4pm.
Rules
Volunteers who bringing the international driving license can help to drive the truck from the dorm to farm. We work as a team, so we hope our volunteers can help each other when there are problems occur.
