Farm Volunteer
Are you a potential farm volunteer...Are you feeling nature calling and want some interaction? There's nothing quite like the love and affection of a horse. Or the feel of fresh land between your fingers. We know farm life can be very therapeutic for some and for others, it's a way to learn about the animals in general or a specific animals.
We've had many people over the years ask if they could volunteer. It wasn't until mid 2009 that we were able to put together a program where we could ensure safety as well as accountability to let this happen.
Some things volunteers do around the farm: * Brush and/or Wash horses & love on them * Clean stalls * Pull weeds & gardening * Scrub tack * Feed & water horses * Care for chickens & rabbits * Care for the pigs * Plus, some of the guys (and an occasional gal) have had fun using their muscles, doing building projects - learning right alongside farmer Scott how to keep your farm maintained!
For those 17 - 20, you may want to consider our summer internship program.

This is a great learning opportunity for those who are looking into/wanting a farm of their own. Where else can you "try before you buy" for free?
If you are interested in spending some time in the barn, drop us a note or give us a call. We'd love to talk with you more.
