Greetings!


I'm Marili Eksteen, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to our platform. Raised amidst the scenic landscapes of South Africa, my roots are deeply embedded in the agricultural lifestyle. Growing up on a farm, I cultivated a profound appreciation for the intricacies of the industry.


My journey with the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker Program began between 2008 and 2010, working on a commercial honeybee farm across California, Idaho, and North Dakota. It was during this period that I met my husband, Andre, also a fellow South African. Following our stint in the USA, we briefly returned to South Africa before deciding to make the United States our home in 2012. Today, with our three children born in the USA, we proudly hold dual citizenship in both the USA and South Africa.


Having personally navigated the complexities of the H-2A visa process, I intimately understand the challenges, needs, and frustrations faced by both South African workers and American farmers. My goal is to leverage this insight to facilitate seamless matches between farmers and employees. With my hands-on approach, I oversee the entire process, eliminating any potential miscommunication.


Allow me to be your guide on this journey. Whether you're a farmer seeking reliable, skilled labor or an employee eager for a rewarding opportunity, I am here to ensure a smooth and successful partnership for all. Welcome to a platform where understanding meets expertise, and where I, Marili Eksteen, am dedicated to connecting agricultural dreams with reality.
