Join the HERD: Volunteer at Hidden Pastures

At Hidden Pastures, healing happens in connection—not isolation—and that includes the incredible volunteers who help make this farm a sanctuary. Whether you’re looking for a hands-on farm experience, a meaningful way to give back, or a group volunteer day, we have a place for you in the HERD.
