Steward the Land. Serve the Community. Learn Along the Way.

We invite individuals, families, schools, dance teams, Girl Scout troops, Boy Scout troops, and community organizations to join us in caring for the land at La Fea Farms.

Volunteering on the farm is an opportunity to earn meaningful service hours while learning about regenerative living, gardening, animals, and the responsibility of caring for the natural world around us.

Every project completed helps us continue building a place where people can reconnect with the land, learn practical skills, and serve their community.
