Typical volunteer activities may include mucking (cleaning up poop)/cleaning/refreshing animal stalls in the barn and outside, cleaning/organizing volunteer areas, gardening/maintenance work. Work boots and gloves are strongly encouraged.

- Lunch/snacks, as food may be provided, but is not guaranteed. All food provided or brought on-site must be vegan.

- Volunteers of all abilities are welcome. If you have any limitations, please let us know beforehand so we can arrange for suitable work.
