🌱 Calling All Skilled Volunteers: Help Us Grow! 🌿
Are you passionate about sustainability, animals, and making a real impact? We’re looking for skilled volunteers to join our mission and lend their talents to help our farm thrive — both on-site and remotely!
At The Farm Life, we know that time and energy are just as valuable as financial support. To be part of our volunteer team, you may choose one of two options: commit to 10 volunteer hours per month with no membership fee, or contribute a reduced membership fee of $25 per year along with 5 volunteer hours per month. Your time and support keep our garden thriving, our animals cared for, and our community programs growing strong. Every hour and every dollar helps us continue building a space where learning, sustainability, and togetherness flourish.
Whether you have hands-on experience or creative digital skills, there’s a place for you here. Here’s how you can help:
🔨 On-Farm Help Needed:
🪴 Gardeners & Growers
Help maintain and expand our food gardens — planting, weeding, harvesting, and learning alongside a dedicated team.
🏗️ Construction & Building
We’re always improving — from building animal shelters to infrastructure upgrades. If you know your way around a hammer, we need you!
🐐 Animal Caretakers
Assist with feeding, grooming, and general care for goats, chickens, or other farm animals. Experience is appreciated, but we’ll train you!
🚜 Water Hauling & Maintenance
Water is life! We need help transporting and managing water for plants and animals, especially during dry spells.
💻 Remote Opportunities:
🎨 Artists & Illustrators
Help us tell our story visually! Create illustrations, social media graphics, educational signage, or farm branding materials.
📢 Social Media & Digital Support
We’re growing our digital presence. If you’re skilled in content writing, social media management, or SEO — let’s collaborate!
🧑💻 Admin & Project Support
Got remote work experience? Help us with coordination, scheduling, volunteer onboarding, and more from wherever you are.
