DON'T FORGET YOUR WAIVERS!
All volunteers must fill out a waiver prior to their shift. If the volunteer is a minor, form must be filled out by a parent/guardian. Fill out an online waiver below, download a PDF copy, or complete a paper form once you arrive at the farm.
Age Guidelines
All ages are welcome on the farm! However, children ages 13 and under must volunteer with a parent/guardian.
Sorry, at this time we are unable to accommodate school groups/church groups/etc. of volunteers under the age of 13.
Preparing for your shift
Get ready to have some fun! We want our volunteer shifts to be a positive and meaningful experience, helping to connect you to the farm and our awesome community. Depending on the time of year, volunteers have the opportunity to help with projects like planting, weeding, harvesting, cleaning, etc.
Below, you can find more information about what to expect along with some tips to help you prepare for your shift and ensure you have a great time.
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING
Dress for the weather! Plan to wear appropriate attire for working outdoors in the dirt and sun. Closed-toe shoes or boots are required, but we also encourage you to wear long pants, a breathable shirt, sunglasses, and/or a hat.
We encourage volunteers to bring gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, and a water bottle, though we do have extra on hand.
WHERE TO GO
All volunteer shifts take place on the farm, located at 7426 40th Street N in Moorhead, MN.
When you arrive, feel free to park anywhere in our gravel parking lot and head to the red check-in shed. A member of our team will be there to welcome you and help you get started with your shift!
