KLACKLE ORCHARDS Owner: Steve Klackle Klackle Orchards is a family run, 3rd generation commercial orchard
operation located in the heart of West Michigan near Grand Rapids in
Greenville. The main product grown is 250 acres of apples with all modern
semi-dwarf and dwarf orchards. We also have a seasonal farm market and
pick-your-own apple & pumpkin business, which operates from August
thru October. We have a high need for seasonal workers starting in July with summer
pruning of the orchards and then working into the apple picking in August.
Our workers usually work in crews of 4-6 workers when in the orchards.
The workday usually starts at 7 am and goes until 5 pm with lunch and
work breaks scheduled as needed. The apple harvesting operation starts
full-time in September and continues until the end of October, harvesting
everyday. We usually employ upwards of 75 workers to assist in the harvest
operations. We provide housing for our employees but have limited family housing. We offer competitive hourly and piece rate wages. We also have an end-of-harvest bonus which is paid to the workers. The pay period is from Friday to Thursday and payday is Saturday. We do not hold back a weeks pay or a security deposit on the housing. Our housing ôcampö is modern and clean. Our farm equipment is well maintained and the required tools are provided to each employee. Our crew supervisors are bilingual (English & Spanish). We think you will enjoy working here! Our goal is to provide a safe
and enjoyable place to work. You will also enjoy the Greenville area.
Everything you need is nearby- shopping, restaurants, migrant health
care clinics and the hospital, schools as well as recreation and entertainment
offerings. Perla Paredes E Mail: ParedesP@michigan.gov Michigan Works! Ionia M, W,Th,F 307 W Adams St Ionia MI 48846 Voice: (616) 527-1360 or (800) 678-9726 Michigan Works! Greenville T |
