Volunteer Farm Workers
Our volunteers are a huge part of our farm, help out in many different capacities at the farm: barn and yard cleaning, raking, grooming, assisting in basic animals care, supervising goats and visitors, general cleaning and many many more – everyone according to their personal talents and abilities.
They come from all different walks of life and are a divers mix of people:
- Kids as young as 6 years old volunteering together with their parents,
- Teenagers making their first “work-like” experiences,
- Individuals with special abilities who are assisted in their duties by support workers,
- Different adults who find time beside their busy days to support the farm,
- Retirees who like to make a difference by offering their work force and experience to our farm.
- And many many more
Volunteers have many different abilities, some volunteer independently, others come with a friend, their support worker or parent, some have lots of animals experience while others make their first steps towards animals care, but all of them have a great interest in assisting at the farm and work hard to help us taking care of all the animals and making the farm what it is today.
