Welcome to International Harvest Hands, a service dedicated to providing you with experienced and motivated seasonal workers. We specialize in sourcing staff for the high peak seasons of crop farms and contracting businesses, staff needs in dairying, and the equine industry can also be met.
​
As part of the New Zealand rural community, with roots in Germany, we connect you with young farmers from Germany who are eager to gain further practical experience overseas.
​
If you're looking to add skilled and hardworking individuals to your team, we can help you find the right candidates. Based on your specifications—whether it's required skills, timeframe, or other essential details—we manage the entire process. From reviewing applications to checking visa requirements and language skills, we ensure you have the right fit for your operation. This allows you to focus on preparing for the season without the hassle of recruitment.
​​
This service is not about placing backpackers on farms. We prioritize connecting you with agricultural career-oriented individuals. Our candidates, typically between the ages of 22 and 30, come from farming backgrounds and are dedicated to hard work, making them a great addition to any team.
​
Each applicant completes a detailed questionnaire and participates in an online interview. We provide you with comprehensive information about their English proficiency, farming experience, machinery or livestock skills, as well as their expectations, motivation, and availability.
​
Our young farmers are seeking seasonal, fixed-term work with fair wages and accommodation.

About
Miriam Boyens
Founder
I grew up on a crop farm, live on a deer farm in mid Canterbury and have fallen in love with sheep and beef farming since moving to New Zealand in 2017.
If you would like us to source suitable staff members for your family-operated farming business, or you have any questions regarding the service we provide or simply request a quote, we would love to hear from you.
