An H2A Agency with South African Roots
Your trusted partner for quality farm labor
USA Farm Labor’s Mission
We are a Christian-based organization that chooses to serve with excellence and create tomorrow’s solutions, so we can make a positive impact and change the world together.
USA Farm Labor, Inc. isn’t just a business. It’s a mission focused on serving others.
In 1998, Manuel Fick and his wife Kathy immigrated from South Africa to the United States—with a vision of linking their home country with the Land of Opportunity for the benefit of both nations. Shortly after arriving in the U.S., they witnessed the agricultural labor shortage threatening farms across the country. Given their connections back in South Africa, they realized that they were perfectly placed to serve American farmers and help workers from their home country find new opportunities through seasonal farm jobs. In 2003, Manuel and Kathy started USA Farm Labor, Inc. and their vision became a reality.
Our Story
Since then, USA Farm Labor has become one of the largest H2A agencies in the country, and we’re always improving.
USA Farm Labor helps thousand of H2A employers source a seasonal quality farm labor every year, plus we help streamline and simplify the complicated H2A Program process. To this day, that drive to serve others remains central to all we do. We’re dedicated to helping you connect with qualified, skilled, reliable employees that’ll help grow your farm or agribusiness.
We’re constantly researching new, innovative ways to use technology like artificial intelligence to quickly and thoroughly assess your needs, use automation to speed up the process, and use machine learning to more accurately predict placement success. We believe these advances will revolutionize the H 2A Program and enable us to serve you on a whole new level. This dedication, along with our Christian values, have earned us a reputation for integrity, dependability, and excellent customer service.
A message from Manuel
They Go to Great Lengths
“Manuel and his staff go to great lengths to help our business succeed. With the continued changes in the H-2A Program, it’s comforting to know that USA Farm Labor keeps current with the labor programs …””
