Volunteer Opportunities
The Educational Farm at Joppa Hill is a volunteer endeavor. Our team of more than 50 volunteers feeds and cares for the animals every day, does most of the general upkeep, helps run our fairs, and makes the farm a very special place!
If you think it would be fun to volunteer at the farm, but you don't know a lot about animals, don't worry!
We can train you -- and kids, too!
We welcome volunteers of ALL ages. If a volunteer is under 18, they must be accompanied by a volunteer parent/adult.
