Individual, Corporate & GRoups

Volunteering at the farm is a hands-on way to connect with the land, support local agriculture, and give back to the community. Whether you’re an individual looking to get your hands dirty, a group seeking a shared experience, or a company planning a meaningful team-building day, we offer volunteer opportunities that are engaging, impactful, and rewarding.


Volunteers work alongside our farmers and educators on seasonal projects that may include planting, harvesting, garden maintenance, animal care support, and farm improvement projects. Each experience is designed to foster teamwork, learning, and a deeper appreciation for where our food comes from.


We welcome:

  • Individuals looking to volunteer independently
  • Groups such as schools, clubs, scouts, faith-based organizations, and community groups
  • Corporate teams interested in structured volunteer days that combine service, connection, and team building


Volunteer opportunities are available for ages 13 and up. Volunteers ages 13–15 must be accompanied by an adult.
