Cherries...

Shaun starts his new job as Operations/H&S/Sales Manager for Coral Beach Farms on Monday!

CBF is a local farm, and by local I mean 5 mins down the road, but they own cherry orchards all over the area. They were advertising for a logistics coordinator and Shaun sent in the cv. Couple of long interviews later Shaun didn't get the logistics job however they liked him so much they made a post for him!

The cherries are marketed under the brand name Jealous Fruits (www.jealousfruits.com) and these are PREMIUM cherries - they get helicopters flown over them to blow the water off them if it rains!! They export mainly to the US but have big markets in China and Japan as well as UK and Europe.

He can walk to work, shorts and t-shirt seem to be the office uniform, in non peak times starts at 7am (so not my job!) and finishes at 3pm so plenty of time for sailing in the afternoon, and we get free cherries! Whats not to like....!!!! Oh, and day 2 is tractor driving!

Although July and August sound manic with 6-day week and 12 hours in order to get the harvest in, but again, silver lining.... 3 day week in the winter....allows plenty of skiing time!
