Wafla delivers a stable, reliable supply of seasonal employees through H-2A, H-2B, and other work visas. We want to have a thriving domestic agricultural industry with dignity for farmers and farmworkers.

Testimonials
"Wafla has been instrumental in helping me grow our H2A program and keeping me up-to-date with current HR issues. We are so focused on growing, harvesting, packing, and marketing. It is easy for HR issues to be pushed to the back burner. I rely on wafla's expertise in current HR issues, training, compliance, and protection to ensure we are in compliance. The H-2A program comes with unique challenges that wafla and its account executives have streamlined to make everything as easy as possible."
