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.

How to Volunteer

The minimum age for volunteering at the farm is 7 years old. 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 criminal record check (including vulnerable sector check).

After a training workshop, volunteers are required to sign a liability waiver before they can start volunteering.

Volunteering for the 2026 Season

Thank you for your interest in the farm!

Due to a tremendous response, we have paused volunteer recruitment for Spring 2026. We aren’t accepting any more new applications at this time, but please check back later this season as more positions may open up.
