Interested in getting involved with CFF? We love our volunteers and sponsors!
Volunteer with us!
There are many different ways to volunteer at Clarkston Family Farm:
Animal Care
We have chickens, bunnies, goats, pigs, mini horses and a donkey that all need food, cleaning, and love on a regular basis. If you are interested in joining our Animal Care Team, contact our Animal Care Coordinator, Stephanie Hovey, through the link below to get involved!
Gardening
Gardening volunteers contribute to the production of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers to use in our kids programming and sell in our Sunflower Market. Typical tasks include: Planting / Watering / Harvesting / Weeding
*New for 2025: We are planning Garden Impact Days on regular intervals throughout the growing season. They will be held as follows:
Springtime hours (April-mid-June):
- Every 2nd & 4th Tuesday at 1 pm, and
- Every 1st & 3rd Thursday at 1 pm
Summertime hours (beginning June 24, 2025):
- Every Tuesday at 9 am, or by appointment with Deana
These are not the only days that we need help in the gardens, but these are set days that we for sure will be there and you can just come to the farm to help or just talk to Deana and check us out. There are many other opportunities to garden; for example, helping harvest flowers for our Sip & Snip events in August and September… but please contact our Master Gardener, and Garden Volunteer Coordinator, Deana Richardson, through the link below to get involved. If you have time that works for you other than 9 am on Tuesdays, send her a note and Deana will be happy to talk with you to see what can be worked out. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you around the farm!

Interested in Supporting the Farm in Other Ways?
Sponsor our Farm Animals
With help from our friends in the community, the Clarkston Family Farm will provide a space where kids can be kids again, learning and exploring, helping things grow, cooking and tasting and playing in nature. One of the major ways that kids interact at the farm is through our animals. They bring alot of joy to kids and adults alike, and we do have a volunteer animal care team in place. However, keeping our animals healthy costs $500 per month in food, and $5,000 per year for veterinary care. As a non-profit, this is a huge expense for us. If you have a special place in your heart for animals, perhaps this is the perfect sponsorship opportunity for you! Click the link for more information.
