USA Farm Labor is a workforce agency based in North Carolina, founded in 2003 by Manuel Fick, a South African native who saw a need for skilled farm laborers and knew where they could be found. His dream was to build a connection between South Africa and the U.S. They started with 40 clients; today they have 450 farm clients and place around 1,000 workers per year. Of that total, approximately 800 are South African.
