At Seasonal Solutions Cooperative (“SSCO” for short), we specialise in helping our members grow and harvest crops around New Zealand.
We also support our teams in New Zealand and across the Pacific to reach their potential and achieve their goals.
You could say we’re in the business of growing great futures, together
While we’re based around providing a seasonal workforce, we do things a little differently around here.
The clue is in the word “Cooperative” in our name.
Find out more about how being a cooperative sets us apart…
In New Zealand, a cooperative’s a unique and purpose-driven business model built around member ownership, democratic control, and shared benefit. We’re all about creating the ‘win-win’ scenario…
We’re a dynamic team made up of growers, nurseries, and contractors from around New Zealand, working together with our staff and seasonal team, to “grow great futures together”.
Get to know our members, board and staff…
We offer an incredible range of services to our members, specialising in seasonal labour solutions for New Zealand’s primary industry (including horticulture, agriculture, and viticulture)…
Some snapshots from our socials
And ‘hot off the press’
As Professor Richard Bedford’s long-running work on NZ’s Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme shows, managed temporary migration has become a structural feature of the relationship between Pacific states and our horticulture and viticulture industries in NZ (and Australia).
Huge thanks to Bev Doole from Winepress, who showcased one of our very own Pastoral Care Team – Delwyn Murray – in a recent feature article. The article shines a spotlight on the significant work our Pastoral Care Team do, and how vitally important it is for our RSE Workers.
We are delighted to share with you an update about our ‘public face’. As many of you will know, our Cooperative and brand has been around since 2004. A lot has changed in that time – including us! Our Board decided that as part of our strategic refresh we would also refresh our look and feel.
“It’s that shared model, the cooperative, that makes it work for everyone. Productivity gains for the growers, & the ability to share staff over the peaks & troughs of the season – as well as supporting our RSE teams & making a contribution in the Pacific”
“For us the cooperative means reliability of staff. They just fit in. We’ve been members from Day 1. We certainly wouldn’t be able to do what we do without them”
“Their work ethic is awesome. And that continuity pays off even more over time”
“It’s a hard job they do – we’d be lost without them”
