Volunteer Shifts and Hours

• Tuesday-Friday, generally mornings.

• We have a schedule of when we work on which areas of the farm, so depending on your interests, we can discuss and make recommendations on which mornings you might enjoy the most.

• Because training and managing volunteers takes significant time on our part, we ask you to commit to us just as we are committing to you:

  • We ask you to commit to a minimum of 2 consecutive hours per shift.

  • Please sign up for a minimum of 4-6 shifts per season.

  • More is welcome!  :)

Benefits of volunteering

• Be able to bend, lift, and kneel for regular duties. If you have mobility or other special circumstances, contact us and we are happy to discuss options!

• Please no dogs or children - if you have children and want them to experience the farm, we can discuss a tour outside of your regular volunteer shifts.

• Let us know as far in advance as possible if you’re not going to be able to make your shift.

• Come only when scheduled - this is our private residence so we don’t allow drop-ins.
