Seasonal Farm Worker
ABflexkracht
Harvest fruits, vegetables, and flowers on Dutch farms. ABflexkracht places hundreds of international workers annually across the Netherlands with housing included.
the Netherlands is the easiest major European market for English speakers — over 90% of the population speaks English, and entire logistics, greenhouse and distribution workplaces operate in it. Hiring runs through large certified staffing agencies that arrange housing, registration and payroll in one package.
Dutch wages are among Europe's highest (minimum around €2,400 gross monthly), and the listings below link straight to employers' and agencies' official application pages — never to middlemen.
Non-EU workers are hired through recognised sponsors — companies pre-approved by Dutch immigration (IND) to employ foreign staff. Recognised-sponsor applications are among the EU's fastest: the permit decision itself often takes 2–4 weeks.

Yes — in logistics, warehouses, greenhouses and tech, English is genuinely sufficient. Agencies operate in English and many workplaces use it as the working language. Dutch matters for customer-facing and long-term career growth.
Companies officially approved by Dutch immigration (IND) to hire non-EU workers. The IND publishes the full register publicly — applying to recognised sponsors is the realistic route to a Dutch work permit.
