Volunteer on the Farm

Seasonal Saturday farm volunteer days will start up again in June 2013.  Please register in advance and complete a volunteer waiver (please print and bring with you to the farm).  Please bring closed-toe shoes, a hat, a water bottle, and clothes you don't mind getting dirty.   Returning volunteers must submit a new waiver for 2013. 

A note about children and youth on the farm:  Any child under the age of 15 must be accompanied by and supervised by a parent or guardian while on farm properties.  Any child between the ages of 15 and 18 will need a parent or guardian signature to volunteer but can do so without parent or guardian supervision.
