Learn about our Staff & Volunteers

Sweet Farm is staffed by a hard-working team who lead our programs and care for the plants and animals on the farm. Sweet Farm is proud to offer competitive pay, benefits, and time off, to ensure our team members receive as much support as they give through their important work.

We are currently hiring for a Full-time Animal Caregiver. This critical member of our team will work together with our other caregivers in cleaning barns, feeding, grooming, administering medications and supplements, and general care for the 150+ rescued animals in our care. You will also be cross-trained to help out in our beautiful lakeside garden, and educate visitors who come to the farm on our programs and mission. You must be reliable (the animals AND the humans count on you!), a great team player, okay with manual labor and working outdoors. Starting at $18/hr plus benefits. Free sheep snuggles included.

Building Community

Volunteers at Sweet Farm are able to meet and work with like-minded people, while having the opportunity to learn about climate issues through sustainable, regenerative agriculture and the amazing lives of farm animals.

Volunteers have the opportunity to make a real difference towards creating a compassionate and sustainable world, while participating in activities that involve tending to our organic farm and caring for a variety of rescued farm animals.
