For Volunteers

Volunteer at the Farm

Volunteering at Plainsong Farm is about connecting to the earth, your neighbors and God. Though we need extra hands to care for this place and grow healthy food for our neighbors, we strive to make the volunteer opportunities holistic experiences. As you engage in service-learning you'll receive education on the tasks for the day as well as topics like regenerative agriculture, conservation and food systems.

People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. No previous experience or knowledge is expected! Supervised children are welcome. No dogs, please (working dogs accepted). 

If you plan to come, please register so we know when to expect you!

Group Volunteering
If you're looking to bring a group to the farm for service-learning, we want to work with you! Whether you're a corporate group, a Bible study class, or a school group we'd love to know your interest and availability. Email hello@plainsongfarm.com or call (616).747.0737.

*There is a suggested donation of $125 for group volunteering. This allows your work to have an even bigger impact. We welcome groups regardless of the ability to make a donation.‍
