Volunteer
Volunteers power the farm! From single days of service to hundreds of hours over the course of an internship, we believe that everyone can be a productive contributor to the farm. Volunteer work is primarily farm chore-based and outdoors. So whether you’re looking to be in a beautiful setting, or enjoy meeting new people, or want to learn the principles behind organic farming, we have a robust and educational experience for you.
Days: Select Tuesday and/or Wednesday and/or Thursday
Times: Select 9:00-12:00 and/or 1:30-4:30
Who: Individual high school and college students (age 18+), adults, business, religious, and community groups
Who Else? Middle and high school groups under age 18+ may be hosted as a School Programs Volunteer Group. For info, click here.
When: Year round / Larger groups are welcome only in spring, summer, and fall
What: Outdoor farm chores! Farm chores change with the seasons and the day, so volunteers must have a flexible spirit and embrace new challenges. Some examples of seasonal work include:

- Harvesting
- Animal Care
- Weeding and cultivating
