Volunteer.
We are always looking to add to our volunteer team!
Currently we are accepting animal care volunteers on weekday mornings and evenings, as well as pasture control volunteers on Saturdays and Sundays (cleanliness and “poop patrol”). Please read the descriptions below before applying for a volunteer position.
What does volunteering for
Tiny Hooves mean?
Animal Care Volunteer
Animal care volunteers provide daily essential care to all of our residents. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, pools, and mudpits, cleaning stalls, and cleaning up after our chores - dishes, sweeping, etc.
You will learn to care for each of our resident species, including chickens, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, pigs, horses, donkeys, and cows!
This commitment is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for morning shifts, and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. evening shifts (Spring/Summer)
Pasture Patrol Volunteer
Let’s face it - we all poop! Having over 100 farm animal residents means a lot of poop patrol! We pride ourselves in keeping our animal environments clean and healthy, and manure maintenance is key. Pasture Patrol has it’s perks, including spending a lot of time with each animal within the pastures and getting to know them well.
This is more of a laid back position, where hard work is expected, but also stopping to say hello to our residents is also a key part of the commitment!
This position can be scheduled around your schedule. Any day of the week, and any time frame works well for pasture patrol, whereas with animal care, our residents do need to be fed and watered by a certain time.
Garden Volunteer
Now that we have planted our organic garden, we need help keeping it in tip top shape! This includes LOTS of weeding and making sure the plants are looking A-OK! When it’s time to harvest, we will need help with that too.
Since our garden shares some fencing with our misfit pasture, you will likely have some goat and sheep supervisors keeping you in line and asking for some attention too.
