"Scientific evidence supports the idea that acts of generosity can be beneficial when we volunteer and give back regularly — and not just after a natural disaster. Volunteering is linked to health benefits like lower blood pressure and decreased mortality rates."
Work shifts are morning, noon (March-Julyish only), and 5pm. Duties can include pen raking, shoveling goat poop and haywaste, bottle feeding (and cuddling) goat kids, filling milk bottles, attending to the chickens, loading haywaste into bins and onto the back of a pick-up truck (requiring the ability to bend, lift, and twist, and to lift up to 25 lbs.). Work is done outside, shifts range from two hours in peak spring kidding season to one hour. A regular time commitment is requested. Please be comfortable around goats, chickens, cats, dogs, bees, and strong women.
