Volunteer

Volunteers are welcome at the farm’s work parties on Wednesdays from 1 – 3 and every 2nd Saturday of the month from 11 until 2.  During the Saturday work parties we invite you to stay for lunch, sharing a pot luck. Our start up dates for 2012 is Wednesday, February 29.

We value our volunteers and the Haliburton Community Organic Farm Society is a member of Volunteer Victoria. Search for Haliburton Farm at  VolWeb.ca .

Membership Secretary:  Our Board values the services of a dedicated membership secretary, to update our membership list and to recruit new members.

Treat  Angel:  A wonderful way to support local agriculture by providing a plate of nutrition for  hungry volunteers and farmers during work party days:  2nd Saturday of the month and every Wednesday between 1 and 3, starting end February.  Please contact the farm with your availability.

Volunteer Growers during work parties
A great way to help out is at one of our work parties.  We’ll get you working on the farm doing whatever currently needs to be done, and you’ll probably have tons of fun along the way!  We’ll teach you what you need to know, but you should dress for the occasion.

General Handyperson
Handy in all ways around the house?  We could use someone with a variety of skills to help us restore and maintain the house that sits on the farm’s property.  We are developing it into an education centre and could use the skills of a handyperson in various ways.

Grass Cutter
We need someone to help us cut the grass around the farm so we can focus on growing food.  If you’ve got a riding mower, we’ll buy the gas!

If you have other skills you’d like to contribute, feel free to contact us to inquire.  We can always use more dedicated volunteers around the farm.

A big thanks goes to…
So many neighbours friends and organizations have helped us around the farm in one way or another.  Please remember to sign in when you visit the farm so that we can record your assistance and send you our newsletters.
