2011 Volunteer Needs

Volunteer Sign Up

 
Farm Docents - This season we want to have people available 7 days a week to meet and greet visitors, answer questions about the farm and tour them around the barn.  Farm Docents will truly be the face of the Morris Farm.  Shifts are 2 hours long and available 7 days a week between 10am - 6pm.  No experience required.  Summer Docent Calendar.
 
Pony Girl/Pony Boy - Starry, our 30 year old retired pony, needs to be fed, watered, brushed and loved every day.  Her stall needs to be cleaned too.  We're looking for volunteers to care for Starry on Saturday and Sunday mornings and evenings.  On nice days she can be taken for short walks.  Starry is a family friendly old gal and very easy to care for - no experience required.
