H-2A Annual Flower Workers
Wholesale flower production depends on precise timing and skilled hands. When you can’t secure reliable seasonal labor, production delays threaten profitability and fulfillment commitments. Overlook Harvesting Company is a specialized H-2A flower grower labor contractor that connects your operation with experienced floriculture H-2A workers who understand greenhouse protocols and handle delicate plant material with care.
Meet Peak Season With Reliable Labor
Annual flower production is a fast-paced operation that runs on tight deadlines. A crew shortage during transplanting, potting or shipping can cascade through your entire season, affecting your ability to meet orders and maintain quality standards. Unlike general farm labor contractors who treat all crops the same way, we recognize that flower farm H-2A labor requires specific handling skills for delicate plant material, volume demands and exacting quality standards.
Your Turnkey H-2A Labor Contractor for Flower Production
Overlook Harvesting Company is your all-in-one solution, letting you focus on plants rather than paperwork. We manage the entire compliance process from start to finish.
The H-2A application process officially begins with the filing of a job order with the State Workforce Agency (SWA) between 75 and 60 calendar days before your anticipated start date. Following this, the H-2A application (Form ETA-9142A) is submitted to the Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Foreign Labor Certification’s National Processing Center at least 45 calendar days before the start date.
We handle petition preparation, labor bond requirements and all documentation submitted to the DOL and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Throughout the season, we maintain compliance with State Workforce Agency (SWA) rules, Adverse Effect Wage Rate requirements and payroll recordkeeping.
Our turnkey model combines all H-2A costs into one clear plan.

The Overlook Harvesting Company Advantage
We typically maintain an 80 to 90% return rate for workers across our programs. This retention means your crew arrives with genuine floriculture experience, reducing training time and protecting the careful handling your product requires. Returning workers understand greenhouse protocols and integrate smoothly into your operation.
As a family-owned company founded in 2006, we share the values of multi-generational nurseries and approach your operation with the same care we would our own. Our agricultural heritage, which began in Florida’s citrus sector, gives us a firsthand understanding of how to maintain profitability when labor challenges pull attention away from core operations.
Professional on-site crew leaders handle daily logistics and workforce coordination. When weather shifts your schedule or production needs fluctuate, our crew leaders adjust labor deployment to match your operation’s reality.
