VOLUNTEERING
Our volunteer program brings members of the community to the farm every week, under a shared mission to support our staff and our mission.
From the field to the barn, this land provides many opportunities to lend a hand. There are ways to dig in all over our 28-acre Regenerative Organic Farm and ecological nonprofit in San Juan Capistrano.
We invite you to get involved with one of our dedicated teams such as Orchard Ohana, Chicken Tenders, and Farm Share or pick up a few shifts helping pack our pantry add-ons, saving seeds, or making bouquets, or come seasonally to help with festivals and community dinners.
Interested in getting involved? Follow the steps below to become a volunteer.

Additional Notes:
- At this time, we are only welcoming volunteers age 15 and older onto the farm.
- Always wear closed-toed shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty at the farm.
- You must RSVP to attend a volunteer shift.
- Attend an optional new volunteer orientation happening once a month. To see when the next one is and RSVP, check out our events page.
We are excited to welcome you to our village and are so grateful for all that our volunteers do. Note that every volunteer opportunity is by RSVP only, unless you are a member of one of our established teams.
