Summer picking jobs

Post by msaab » Mon Feb 14, 2011 9:48 pm

Hello,
are there any possible jobs for picking fruit or vegetables in finland in the summer of 2011? Has anyone gone to these jobs before, and where exactly? It would be awesome if you would write about your experiences and exactly where the farm was were you stayed. Thank you, i'll be waiting for answers :):)
