Parilla Premium Potatoes – Backpackers jobs in South Australia at a Horticultural and Potato farm
Description
Parilla Premium Potatoes Pty Ltd was established in 1990 and is a successful South Australian horticultural farm with properties situated in both Parilla and Robe. The company produces more than 55,000 tonnes of fresh produce per year to supply both fresh and processing markets in Australia and overseas. The main crop is Australian potatoes, while onions and carrots are also grown. These crops are produced under centre pivot irrigation. Parilla Premium Potatoes has a small interest in cereal cropping and livestock.
The peak potatoe harvest runs from December until May, although potatoes are continually harvested throughout the year. Onion harvest begins in late January and finishes in late April, while the carrot season runs from April through till October.
While Australian potatoes and carrots are carted away straight to customers, PPP has established its own Onion Packing Shed where our onions are graded and packed into bags or cartons before being sold. The shed operates from February till November and constantly has a crew of 20-25 people.
