Volunteer Opportunities
Our nonprofit educational farm at St Joseph Center is a volunteer endeavor. Our team of more than 50 volunteers helps with daily garden work, feeds and cares for the animals every day, assists with general upkeep, helps run our markets, and makes the farm a very special place for visitors.
If you think it would be fun to volunteer at the farm and you would like to join our group of dedicated volunteers, please attend a mandatory volunteer orientation every first Saturday of the month, at 10am. And if you don't know a lot about animals or gardening, don't worry! We can train you -- and kids, too!
