So you want to volunteer?
Market Volunteering
Love people and food? Are you excited about engaging in a community that shares the love of locally sourced food? You can come to help us at our booth every Saturday morning at Tower Grove Farmers’ market. We are extremely busy and we can always use your help with setting up the booth, helping with customers, serving drinks, and taking down the booth. Hours are 6:30 AM to 1 PM. You can come for the entire show or join us for a couple of hours on your terms but please let me know in advance.
Feel free to email me if you have further questions. We do appreciate your help!
Animal Care Volunteer
As a volunteer, you would be working alongside our feeder worker, helping that person feed and water all the animals. Eventually, as the animals become familiar with you, we can move you on to handling animals, socializing them, and halter training the dairy and angora goats.
When you have gained 100 hours of experience you become eligible to become an assistant during the lambing/kidding period in Feb through April.
Qualifications
love for animals
previous animal experience
age: a mature 14-year-old or above
willingness to work outdoors in all kinds of weather
ability to get to the farm (five miles near Purina farms)
a commitment of an 8-hour day once or twice a week for a period of 2 months or more.

Horticulture Volunteer
Weedy Wednesdays
This volunteer opportunity is available during the growing season from May through October. This is a great way to come get some sun in the outdoors with a commitment of only a few hours in the early morning (7 am- 9 am)
Help us weedy or wash and string garlic, dig some trenches for planting beans, and adding compost. This is a great way to learn organic gardening practices.
You will be rewarded with a continental breakfast of farm-fresh hard-boiled eggs and lovely Vietnamese iced coffee and more importantly social interaction for your soul. Alternatively, if you are a gardener, you can bring home a whole bag of organic manure with you ( but you bag your own!)
