Volunteer

The farm has evolved to where it is today in large part thanks to wonderful volunteers. In the spring and summer there are opportunities to volunteer at the farm: maintaining the buildings, moving bedding to the compost pile, preparing for community events. Sometimes, there are work days scheduled for big jobs. There are some winter opportunities at the farm; these include moving out old bedding, occasional help with the goats, loading/unloading hay, helping with our Christmas Tree collection. Volunteers are encouraged to make a regular commitment to come to the farm once a month, once a week, or on any somewhat regular basis.

To participate in the City Market Member-Worker program you must (1) join City Market Coop and (2) complete their one hour orientation for member-workers.
