Volunteer at Woolley Farms!

precious_smallWhat’s Happening at the Farm?

Our mission is to provide healthy food in a way that is good for the community and environment. We do this by operating a sustainability-oriented grass farm using rotational grazing and principles from permaculture, biomimicry and biodynamics. We currently raise sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pygmy goats, organic seed, plums, produce, blackberries and more. The farm is also home to a miniature donkey named Precious, and Stella, a white Anatolian Shepherd sheepdog.

When Can I Come By?

Come out when it works for you. Bring family and friends! There is always something to see or do on the farm. Please call ahead (360-854-9188) or email us at info@woolleyfarms.com to make sure we can get you started.

The farm is located about five miles east of downtown Sedro-Woolley off of Highway 20 (the North Cascades Highway).  Feel free to read the Volunteer Orientation before your first visit.

What Can I Help With?
