Overlook Harvesting delivers fully compliant, customized nursery grower H2-A staffing solutions. Our nursery labor plans provide qualified H2-A workers for each phase of your season, year after year. We’re the turnkey partner you can count on to help you simplify seasonal workforce requirements, keep your operations running smoothly and achieve your business goals.
Solving Your Nursery’s Hardest Workforce Challenges
We do more than supply seasonal labor. We provide specialized, turnkey seasonal solutions, including:
Leadership in H-2A Visa Program Filings
H-2A workers are crucial for nurseries, and navigating visa program complexities during your busiest season is tough. We manage your filings on time to ensure compliance with current U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and state workforce agency requirements.
Deployment of Experienced Crews
While general H-2A staff may lack critical nursery skills, our team includes workers with specialized experience in tasks like potting, pruning, tagging, loading, and pulling orders. Our training sets workers up to excel, protecting your production quality and business reputation.
Workforces Offering Stability and Flexibility
About 80 to 90% of workers return to us each year, enabling us to deliver reliable workers and scale our support as your operations grow. Whether you expand your nurseries or sign new partners with unique packing requirements, we adjust to meet your needs.
Housing and Transport
We’ve invested in our DOT-inspected and carefully-maintained fleet of buses to transport our H2-A workforce. We also maintain compliant, free housing that meets specific federal and state standards.
Insurance and Payroll
We process payroll promptly, track hours accurately and provide detailed reports for your records. Workers’ compensation for every worker and transportation liability coverage help protect your business and give you peace of mind.
