Our farm is deeply rooted in the community and relies on its support. Over past years the farm has had about one hundred volunteers per season who help in different capacities depending on their personal talent and ability. This includes a huge diversity of people. There are for example young kids together with their parents, teenagers, retirees, people with special abilities accompanied by their support workers, busy students, part time workers and shift workers, singles and couples, international exchange students…and this only names a few. Aside from the “newcomers” each year, many of them have been volunteering at the farm for years.
Our volunteers often spent a good part of their shifts directly with the animals while cleaning out their barns and enclosures. They always work hard in their own time to help us take care of the animals, provide information to the visitors, keep the farm clean and tidy and of course give the animals lots of love. Through this commitment and dedication they have really become a precious part of our farm team. As the farm is solely funded by donations, their volunteer work is simply invaluable to us and helps us greatly to keep the farm running. They all do a tremendous job; the farm would not be the same without them. Our awesome volunteers really help to make this little farm a happy, safe, friendly and inclusive place. They make it feel complete.
To become a farm volunteer:
The necessary paperwork to become a volunteer can be picked up at the front desk of the farm during opening hours (or in exceptions sent by email).
Filled out application forms (carefully printed so that all the information is clearly readable) should be returned to the front desk at the farm. New volunteers will be contacted by email to be invited for a training workshop.
Any volunteer under the age of 14 years, or volunteers who need assistance to perform the chores, must be accompanied by an adult and they volunteer together as a team.
Volunteers aged 18 years and older require a recent criminal record check (including vulnerable sector check) – letters to apply for a free criminal record check are available at the front desk of the farm.
After the training workshop volunteers are required to sign a liability waiver before they can start volunteering.
For the current season 2025:
We are not accepting any new volunteer applications at this time.
