Every week, community members work this land alongside our staff.

Across 115 regenerative organic acres, there's a role for every set of hands — gardens, animals, the apiary, the CSA, education, and everything in between.

Ways to volunteer.

Not everyone wants the same commitment — Crown Point offers three real paths in.

Ongoing

Join an established team with a recurring shift — the deepest way to get involved, and the path to becoming part of Crown Point's regular volunteer community.

One-Off

Come for a single shift when your schedule allows — no ongoing commitment required, just RSVP for a date that works.

Group Days of Caring

Bring your community group, congregation, or company for a single dedicated day — a hands-on, high-impact experience built for groups rather than individuals.

Roles

Where you could fit in.

From the fields to the barns, our land offers countless ways to get involved.

Flower Gardens

Tending and arranging bouquets for market and events.

Produce Fields

Planting, weeding, and harvesting alongside farm staff.

Animal Care

Daily care and feeding for the farm's goats, pigs, and flock.

The Apiary

Supporting the farm's bee colonies and pollinator habitat.

CSA Support

Helping with harvest, wash/pack, and weekly pickup.

Education Programs

Leading or assisting with a program, camp, or field trip session.

Seed Saving

Collecting and preparing seed for the next growing season.

Community Events

Lending a hand at seasonal festivals and gatherings, from setup to serving.

Skills-Based Volunteering

Marketing, design, accounting, or other professional skills, donated pro bono.

Getting started

How to get involved.

1

Discover Crown Point

Explore the site and learn who we are, what we do, and the many ways volunteers help bring the mission to life.

2

Share your interest

Complete the volunteer interest form, and our Volunteer Coordinator will follow up with you directly.

3

Attend an orientation

An optional orientation for new volunteers runs every other month — check the calendar for upcoming dates.

An honest note on demand

So many people want to lend a hand that volunteer spots are genuinely limited — we appreciate your patience, and we'll share updates as new opportunities open. While you wait, staying connected through our newsletter, social media, or a community event is a great way to stay close to the farm.

How we say thank you

Every volunteer is invited to Crown Point's annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner — a night we set aside specifically to recognize the people who make this farm run. We track years of service and hours volunteered, and each year we name a Volunteer of the Year, along with other awards recognizing the specific ways people show up here.
