Friends – can you help us? 💚
We're looking for a few wonderful volunteers to help us over the coming weeks.

☕ Saturdays – morning or afternoon shifts helping to serve our lovely visitors from our Coffee Box. We’re open from 10am–5pm.

🐑 Thursday 9th & Friday 10th July – help us get our sheep show-ready with a good wash before the Isle of Wight County Show!

🎪 Saturday 11th or Sunday 12th July – join us on our stand at the IW County Show, chatting with visitors and helping us spread the word about the work we do.

It's a great opportunity to get involved, meet new people, and have some fun while supporting the farm.

We'd be incredibly grateful for any help you can offer.
Please send us a message for more information.
