Flexible Community Service Shifts - extra hours between 8:30am-2:30p

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.
