How does Gaia Herbs recruit farm laborers?
Gaia Herbs Farm Crew comes from Mexico on H2A Visas. An H2A Visa allows foreign national entry into the United States for temporary or seasonal agricultural work. There are several requirements of the employer in regards to this Visa such as housing, meals, tools and supplies, worker’s compensation insurance and transportation costs. Each year, Gaia Herbs works with the Department of Labor and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to receive approval for the H2A Visa process. We strive to have the same farm crew members return each year.
