Fruit Picking in B.C. Canada (Scottish Backpacker)?

Hi, i'm looking for information on fruit picking jobs in B.C. Canada over the sprine summer period (May-August).





I've heard there are loads of vineyards in (sorry if i spell this wrong) The Okanagan Valley area; offering bed, meals and cash for those willing to put in the effort.





Myself and a friend are heading over to Canada for 3-4mths this spring/summer and would like to contact these kinds of places in advance to arrange work.





Any info would be great.

Farmers don't normally board pickers, but there are hostels in the area. Grapes don't require many workers in spring/summer, but there are fruit and vegetable jobs.
Reply:two thirds of your info is incorrect.


cash for work is correct


beds and meals are up to you


bring your tent and sleeping stuff


meals are what you can eat off the trees


warning you will get the runs if you eat too much fruit


VERY RARE to get accomadations provided


and the lakes are your bathtubs


ENJOY B C
