Farm contacts near Montreux area for picking jobs?

Hello Forum,

I'm Nahuel, I've been traveling in Europe and Japan since March 2015. I'm originally from Argentina, I'm Italian too.

Today I'm based in Switzerland, in Montreux. I have been wanting to work as a harvester or fruit picker for a while now. Since it seems to be harvest season here now, I thought it would be a good chance.

Does anyone have a list of farms' contacts that may be looking for collectors today?

Any info or suggestion is appreciated,

Thank you!

I would guess you’re far too late in the season to find employment. These sort of contracts will be agreed right back in early spring or even late winter. But go out to a few farms/vineyards around Montreux, knock on the doors and see what you can find.

At this website, it is possible to register for jobs picking fruit in the Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) area:

At this same webiste is a list of fruit farms in the Lake Geneva area that offer self-pick. You could consider contacting those that have self-pick in August/ September to inquire whether they need a temporary employee:

Consider searching the internet for "cueilleur des fruits valais" or "cueilleur des fruits vaud" or "cueilleur des fruits suisse".

For fruit picking jobs in German-speaking Switzerland, search on "Obstpflücker Job".

Also, search on "pflücker" or "cueilleur" at the Swiss RAV job service website:

Good luck!

Grape harvest will start next month. Maybe you can line up something for then if you ask around your local vineyards?
