COME GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY!

Farming is a physically and emotionally demanding job, but offers a great sense of accomplishment. Whether you're young or old, knowledgeable or inexperienced, we can find a job for you. Come join us and enjoy all that nature has to offer, get your hands dirty. Connect with nature by working in one of the world’s oldest profession.

Volunteers help with various tasks such as planting, weeding, composting, harvesting, washing, packing, and more. You can try your hand at many different aspects of the farm; there is always something new happening out here, and you don't need previous experience.
