Hen House Helpers needed!

Have you ever wanted to work with animals? Do you want to have a unique experience that makes a difference and contributes to the availability of local food?

Volunteer as a Hen House Helper at the Prairie Crossing Learning
Farm!


The Prairie Crossing Learning Farm offers a real farm-work volunteer experience helping to care for our flock of free range chickens. Hen House Helpers (HHH) volunteer for a regular weekly shift at the farm – either in the morning (9-10 a.m.) or afternoon (3-4 p.m.).


HHHs collect the eggs, wash them, and package them for sale. There are also substitute HHH who fill in when needed – the regular HHH is responsible for finding a substitute when they can’t cover their regular shift.


I am currently looking for volunteers for the March 18 – June 9 session. I will also hold a training session for new HHH once the schedule has been finalized.


Interested? Available to cover a Tuesday afternoon or Thursday morning
shift? Please email ecummisford@prairiecrossing.com
