Snuck Farm Volunteer Program
Thank you for volunteering at Snuck Farm! As a volunteer, you are an important member of our farm and we appreciate your time and willingness to work with us. Volunteers work with the entire team at Snuck Farm in carrying out the mission of the farm.
The mission of Snuck Farm is to be a force for good in our community while working to 1. Produce the freshest, highest quality food in the local market place. 2. Teach industrious ideas about life and food while promoting sustainable, community-based food production that benefits us all.
Snuck Farm offers both long-term and single workday opportunities for volunteers.
Long term volunteer opportunities at the farm generally require a weekly commitment of 2-4 hours per week for the growing season (Spring to Fall) or a minimum of 3 months.
Work Day volunteer opportunities at the farm are a great alternative for people who want to be involved at the farm but are unable to commit to a weekly schedule. Throughout the year, we dispatch our work day volunteers to come in and help save the day assisting us in various seasonal tasks.
