Event staff: Some examples include the annual plant sale, Tour de Farms, Community Thanksgiving Potluck, Open Mic Nights, Community Contra Dances. Help with set-up & clean- up, press releases, hanging posters around town, making signs, taking photographs, working the grill, cooking meals, washing dishes, etc etc etc.

Volunteer coordinator: Work in collaboration with office manager to contact volunteers, assign tasks and manage scheduling. Finding one exceedingly gracious person who would be willing to take the lead here would bolster the operations of the farm greatly.

Trail & yurt maintenance: At this time, fixing up our trails is a high priority need!

Mowing: This is one that we’d greatly appreciate help with! While we may not need your help with this every week, if we could get a few committed folks who could do this consistently, the mowing should be very manageable.
