Volunteer

Lend a hand, learn a lot

There’s always work to do on a farm, and we’d be glad for your help. Volunteers work alongside us and learn as they go: Traditional Indigenous Knowledge, permaculture design and biomimicry, and how to care for the land like it’s a relative. We have projects for every skill level, from carpentry to weeding. If you’ve never held a shovel, that’s fine. We’ll show you which end goes in the dirt.

Volunteer days

From February through October, the last Saturday of each month is our open volunteer day. Some years we also gather on Earth Day in April. If those days don’t work for you, ask us about another time.

Bring a group

Churches, schools, college classes and community groups are welcome. We can set up a group workday with time on the farm and time learning from us about native plants, wild-tending and regenerative farming.

Have a trade?

If you’re a carpenter, electrician, plumber or have other trade skills, we have a list of building projects waiting. Get in touch and we’ll match you with one.

How to sign up

We check the volunteer email weekly from mid-February through October and monthly the rest of the year, so be patient with us in winter.
