Become a volunteer with us! We have worked hard to create a beautiful space on our farm that our customers, animals and bees can enjoy. To keep our vision alive we need your help.
Over the past couple of years, we have been building up our ‘Farm Experience’. We have created a 6-acre field full of vibrant wildflowers for the bees and the public to enjoy. Each year, we prep our fields for planting and turn them over to kill the majority of the weeds. Because we don’t use any weedkillers on our farm (except our hands) we have to be smart about what we grow. We sow each section with a variety of flowers that will outgrow the weeds, and feed our bees. Over the years we have come to realize that there are just a few flowers that will do the trick.
Our goal for the storefront has been to create a vibrant, pollinator-friendly garden that guests can walk through, relax in and be immersed in the beautiful world of pollination. In doing so, we need help cutting back on the endless weeds that take over pollen and nectar dense flowers.
To get the fields and gardens blooming with all the nectar-rich wildflowers the bees need, a lot of preparation and weeding is required. As we are a small business with only a handful of staff, we are looking for volunteers to help us create this beautiful pollinator paradise again in the upcoming season. Volunteers will be required to bring their own hand tools and gloves, and be over the age of 14 years old, or accompanied by an adult if they are between 8-14 years old. Volunteer days are usually 2 hours long, but we’re happy if you come for any amount of time.
