Pickers begin the day at 4am and work until approximately 12pm (noon). Pickers are paid piece rates based on the precise weight picked. In BC the minimum piece rate wages are legislated and an be found if you click. here.  Our base rate at CFCL in 2025 was $0.37/lb. A bonus system is in place to ensure fair and equitable rates for dedicated employees. Payment is every two weeks and by direct deposit. A Canadian SIN is required. 

​

We expect pickers to show up ready to get the job done. Cherry picking is hot, hard, tiring and can be very rewarding when done well. Our farm harvests up until the final days of BC's cherry harvest (ie we pick just as late as Creston and Lake Country).  We require lots of help in August and often hire people who have completed earlier contracts and are looking for more cherry picking at the end of the season. 

​

We have a campground for our pickers. There are communal kitchens, shelters, hot showers, potable water,  washing machines, bbqs, lockers with locks, and wi-fi.   Our camp costs $5/night. 

No visitors, no pets, no narcotics.
