The animal companions here on the farm require attention, love, shelter and food 365 days a year! Volunteers are always appreciated and there are many opportunities for responsible, kind and caring animal lovers to contribute.
Many of the volunteer positions are not at all glamorous and you can count on the fact that you’re going to get dirty and some of the work can be yucky and tough! Think: cleaning coops, run-ins, cleaning workspaces, etc.) yet every one of these jobs is invaluable to the health and safety of the animals.
The farm also has volunteers that help with scheduled educational group tours, fundraisers, and birthday parties!
We’re all grateful for whatever area you decide to volunteer in and hope you bring a friend along to enjoy the day! We appreciate your interest and look forward to getting to know you!
Thank
you for considering Happiness Farm as your volunteer home! I will try to make
you as much a part of the farm family as I can.
I do know that this is not your real home and not a real job, yet I ask that you take it seriously because I do depend on you, as do the animals.
If life gets in the way of your best intentions, please give me a heads up I am prepared and can adjust our work day accordingly.
Be sure
to wear clothes you don’t mind getting really dirty! Please bring water and a
towel too. You never know when you might need one!
Please read the following carefully. This is a legal document.
