Program Details

Our farm life follows the rhythm of the seasons. You’ll help feed and care for our animals daily and assist with seasonal tasks like sled dog training, cutting wood, building projects, fixing equipment, and even renovating an old house. Every volunteer can contribute in their own way, depending on their skills and interests. There’s always something to do and something new to learn!

Activities & Shift

Daily tasks include feeding and giving water to our animals and cleaning their spaces. Depending on the day, you might help build or repair things, work outdoors, or support special projects around the farm. We also bake and sell cinemon rolls, cookies, pineapple pies and chocolate balls at markets all year around.

Rules

With four kids and many animals, our daily life runs best when we all respect the farm’s routines and guidelines. We value clear communication, responsibility, and a positive attitude — it helps keep things flowing smoothly for everyone!
