Volunteering at Good Pickin’ Farm

How can you help?

Want to get your hands dirty helping us in the gardens? Or get some exercise cleaning out horse stalls? Or maybe help out some days in the School House or at Summer Farm Camp? Please contact us to see what you can do!

On-Going Help Needed for:

The Farm Shop
The Farm Shop is now opening soon in its new location in the shed next to the Garden and Craft Shed!

Paint the red buildings
All of our buildings need to be continually refreshed, so we cycle through the painting.

Weeding
All of the gardens are in perpetual need of weeding.

Events
We often need help with our weekend events - for a full schedule, please check out our Events Page.

One-Time Projects:

Pickin’s Playground (Natural Playground)
This is the wooded area in the middle of the property abutting Rt. 40 on the Farm House side of the farm. The children love to play there and have envisioned fun and natural things to climb, slide, hide and play in.

We still need help with:

  • Creating a plan for specific additions

  • Finding materials for additions

  • Building and placing specific additions

The Garden Path/Trails
We would like to specify a path leading to a Woodland Garden. The area would offer contemplative and calming features such as a stone labyrinth, natural wind chimes, and art in addition to beautiful flora native to the woods.

We need help with:

  • Clearing the paths and defining the garden area

  • Planting native flora

  • Finding stones and building the labyrinth

  • Adding other contemplative features, such as wind chimes and art

  • Creating signs pointing to the path and leading the way
