Volunteer at the Farm: Lend a Hand, Learn Something New, Meet the Goats

Looking to earn community service hours or spend time in a peaceful, hands-on environment? Join us for a general volunteer shift and help support the daily work that keeps our farm running. Whether you're here for the goats, the fresh air, or just to give back, we’re glad to have you.

What You'll Be Doing
This shift includes a variety of important farm tasks, depending on the day. You might help clean barns, groom goats, assist with repairs, tidy up outdoor areas, or take on other projects that keep the farm healthy and running smoothly. It’s real work, but think of it as a free outdoor gym with goats!

Volunteer Hours

Shift is 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM (We do often finish earlier)

Need extra hours? You’re welcome to arrive early or stay later if you let us know in advance

If severe weather shortens your shift while you're already on-site, we’ll still credit you for the full time

Court-Mandated Service
We are approved for court-mandated community service hours and are happy to provide documentation or signed verification of your completed time for the court or your legal representative. 

Important Info

Bring a refillable water bottle and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty

If you arrive and don’t see anyone, come through the large red gate by the parking area and check in

Volunteers under 13 years old must have a parent remain on the property during the shift

We volunteer rain or shine, unless there are storms or unsafe weather conditions

Group Sign-Ups
We’ve paused team sign-ups because group bookings were taking all available spots and sometimes not showing up. If you’re coming with a group, you’re still welcome, just leave a note with the total number in your group.

Extra/Fewer Hours
If not working 8:30-2:30, please email melissa@goathousefarm.com with the hours you plan to work, OR include that information in the notes section when signing up. If you don’t specify, we’ll assume your shift is 8:30 to 11:30.

Need to Cancel?
Please cancel your shift at least 24 hours in advance. We truly rely on our volunteers to help keep the farm running. If you do not show up and have not canceled, we will remove any remaining shifts from the system and you will not be able to volunteer here again.

We’d Love to Have You
This is a fun, welcoming place to volunteer, and your time makes a real difference. Come ready to work, learn something new, and maybe make a few goat friends along the way.

Evening Chores at the Farm: Unwind with Goats and Give Back

Looking for a peaceful way to end your day while making a real difference? Our evening chore shift is a great opportunity to support the farm, spend time with animals, and enjoy some quiet, purposeful work as the sun goes down.

Whether you're earning community service hours or just want to lend a hand, this is a rewarding and enjoyable way to get involved.

What You'll Be Doing
Evening chores help wrap up the day on the farm. Tasks typically include:

Filling water buckets and hay feeders

Washing out feed bowls and dishes

Light sweeping of the barn area

Brushing and socializing the goats

Spending time with baby goats (when we have them) to help them get used to people

It’s a calm, simple routine and a great way to decompress while making a difference. Think of it as a little goat-powered therapy session with a purpose.

Volunteer Hours

If you need additional hours, let us know and you can arrive earlier or stay a bit longer to help with extended tasks

Court-Mandated Service
We are approved for court-mandated community service and can provide proof of hours for the courts. Please let us know when you arrive if you’ll need documentation.

Important Info

Bring a refillable water bottle and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty

Evening chores take place in all weather except severe storms

Group Sign-Ups
We’ve currently paused team sign-ups because group bookings were taking up all available slots and sometimes not showing up. If you’re coming with a group, leave a note with your group size.

Need to Cancel?
Please cancel your shift at least 24 hours in advance. We count on volunteers to help close out the day. If you do not show up and have not canceled, we will remove your remaining shifts and you will not be able to volunteer with us again.

We’d Love to Have You
Evening chores are a special time on the farm. It’s quieter, the goats are winding down, and the work is relaxed but meaningful. Come ready to help, connect, and enjoy the peace that comes with a well-fed, brushed goat.

BuddyKnit is recruiting peer mentors in support of the Florida Foster Care System. Mentees are aged 2nd to 8th grade, and mentorship can be conducted in a hybrid format, with both a virtual and in-person component. Mentors can either serve as an educational mentor, who would be addressing their student's academic needs or as a companionship mentor, completing fun activities and serving as a positive role model for their student. Along with the weekly mentoring sessions, mentor/mentee pairings have the opportunity to attend local events together across Tallahassee.

BuddyKnit is recruiting peer mentors to work weekly after school with mentees in 2nd to 8th grade. Mentorship will be conducted through the Leon County School District, where middle-high school-aged volunteers will travel to their mentee's school for a 1-2 hour long mentoring session. Mentors can either serve as an educational mentor, who would be addressing their student's academic needs or as a companionship mentor, completing fun activities and serving as a positive role model for their student. Our current focus is in the south of Tallahassee, with mentees coming from schools such as Sabal Palm Elementary, Bond Elementary, and Fairview Middle School.

Are you an entrepreneur or an advocate for entrepreneurship and want to inspire the next generation of leaders to discover their passion and create a business? 

Junior Achievement Big Bend recruits the schools you will be working with, trains you on the JA curriculum, and supports you in leading these students to economic success every step of the way. We are looking for volunteers who are comfortable working with educators and high school students. Entrepreneurship experience is highly recommended but not required (we provide all the resources you need to teach).
