We plan to host many volunteer opportunities before, during, and after the season. We encourage you to come out to the farm and break a sweat. We ask that you let us know in advance by signing up using the links below or by contacting our volunteer coordinator at volunteer.livinghope@gmail.com. Work requirements will vary over the course of the season; some activities will be more physical, others more dirty or repetitive.

Work activities may include, but are not limited to, weeding, thinning, mulching, planting and harvesting. When you arrive, you will be asked to sign in and will be given some instruction for your work assignment. We like to stay together, but depending on size we may divide into smaller groups to make the tasks more manageable.

Children are encouraged to come as this is a great learning opportunity, and who doesn’t like getting a little dirty? We want children to gain a better understanding of how produce is grown and hopefully develop an interest in gardening. For those bringing children, it is suggested that you consider the weather and the child’s age. Children that are very young can easily become bored, hot, or thirsty. You are encouraged to bring snacks, sunscreen, water, and a sun hat. Plants can easily be trampled or fatally damaged with happy feet and so we will attempt to have child friendly tasks available. If all else fails, the chickens can be fed, and the farm can be explored.

*Most importantly, safety is always our first thought, so adults bringing children should monitor them in the field at all times and prevent them from climbing on any equipment. We do not allow children unaccompanied in the barn, greenhouse, or share room.
