Rainbeau Ridge has many opportunities for you to get involved and to be part of a dynamic, growing, non-traditional farm business. Volunteers are offering a unique chance to be hands on in all aspects of market gardening, livestock care, and ag education. (Volunteers must be 16 or older and make a commitment to be at the farm at particular times on a regular basis. Thank you!)
Here are some of the many volunteer opportunities:
Goat care—help us by attending to the grooming and grazing needs of our wonderful does; there’s ‘kid watch’ at all hours from April through May
Kid care—With 80 babies expected this spring, there are lots of mouths to feed; we bottle feed our kids 2-4 times daily
Gardening—learn by doing; assist with seeding, transplanting, renovating beds, and harvesting; prepare produce for market; learn how to deal with garden pests the natural way
On farm photographer—have you checked out our website? You’ll notice we record everything in pictures . . . and we could use your help.
Librarian—catalog our books and magazines; comb same for important articles to support farm staff needs; Help keep our clippings organized
Communications—outreach is really important to what we do—not just informing people of RR events but helping to educate people in all areas of sustainable living; Help spread the word
