  • Cherry season is something you want to try when coming to work in New Zealand if you plan to mix travel with work. I believe cherry-picking is one of the fastest ways how to earn quite a lot of money in a short period of time (guaranteed). So how much can you earn with cherry-picking?
    That will vary based on different factors but in this video, you will see how much I managed to earn in less than 2 months, what it took, and how you can do the same or even more. Enjoy!
    Just one question after the video - would you do it?

    Wow I didn’t know that New Zealand had so many big cherry plantations! Very informative video 🙌 Enjoyed watching and learn all about the cherry picking work. As an ex backpacker I totally feel ya! Did some fruit picking but never cherries so it’s very interesting to see the differences :) Your happy faces after your last day of the season were priceless 😄 Holy Moly that’s a lot of buckets!! You guy’s rock! Have fun spending your hard earned $$ !😁

      Right? It's way bigger than I could ever imagine + all the money that's in it- wow.
      Now, in case, if you decide to get quite a lot of money in less than 2 months, you'll know where to go 😃
      The end of the season was such a happy moment, so so true. Thank you for watching, Carina 🙏

    GREAT informative video - quality content which definitely helps !! To my surprise you do maintain a good quality content over all NZ life and it's great to see them here before going to NZ.
    Like you and Arthur i'd prefer to max out my productivity wage ratio so that I could get to enjoy and kick off the bucket list ASAP!!
    1. Would CAE tax code work on NZ working holiday visa holder though ?! As I have heard tax code M being the more mainstream tax code amongst the WHV being the primary tax code. I would imagine it saves you a tonne of money @ 17.5% rather than 30% going beyond $48k per annum
    2. Would you recommend some of your past cherry houses as there are varieties of huge and owner orchards across !!
    3. What are the usual hours for cherry picking as you rest at 8-9pm, I briefly heard from Arthur it was 7 hours a day?
    4. How is Arthur 30% faster than you 😁😁😁

    • @Stepstomake
      @Stepstomake  2 роки тому

      Ashton, thanks for watching - Great to find it truly useful. We will try our best to answer these questions:
      1. Yes, you can use CAE tax code for up to 3 months in a 12 month period as a WH visa holder. We used it for these 2 months and the rest of the year went off using M code. You definitely want to keep under 48 k NZD if you want to pay less tax but it's up to you. It's always to go for a way higher income if you find the right job.
      2. There are heeps but I noticed that Suncrest orchard starts always earlier than any other, so that might be a good choice. From there you can see what you like better, maybe even send all orchards a message asking about their pay rates.
      3. Normally you'd start at 6 or 7 am and finish at 2/3 pm. Then again, there might be days when you get shorter days as it gets too hot for fruit to be picked or it starts to rain.
      4. That's a serious statement. I think half of the whole cherry-picking is a mental game + I'm a bit afraid of rights so you can imagine. 😀
      Let me know if you happen to have other questions, we're happy to help!

      Hi Jan,
      I would start with Suncrest and then see how I like it, then if it's amazing, because they are great as they start the earliest. Then just go from there if you want to swap. When are you planning to start the season?

    • @Stepstomake
      @Stepstomake  2 роки тому +1

      Hi William,
      Our recommendation would be (if you want to maximise your money season) - start at Suncrest Orchard as they start the season as 1st ones ALWAYS and then migrate to other orchards when they start. Sometimes this could give you up to extra 2-3 weeks to earn money as soon as possible.
      Good luck!

    • @Stepstomake
      @Stepstomake  10 місяців тому

      Hi Jana! We can’t really share specific names here on YT but there are heaps of great orchards in this area- Cromwell. Only tip would be to pick the one you het paid for how much you pick otherwise you will be stuck at a fixed rate even in a high season and you will need that motivation to keep on going.
      Regarding flat - more likely you might find a room or a camp site super close to orchard. Feel free to ask your employer once you send them an email, they all will have options.
      We found our flat in the 2nd season through FB group in Cromwell. Got super lucky because there are not a lot of free spaces like that.
      Good luck 🤞⭐️🍒

      Hi!
      We honestly can not recommend a company but we for sure can suggest - apply for almost all of them and then see which offer you like the best. Some have even bunk rooms available, some have free camp sites, some have paid campsites, you can choose based on your needs.
      One thing I can advice is - go where you can earnbased on how much you pick - it’s a massive motivator 👍
