Bring a school, scout group, faith community, workplace, or community group to experience and care for the Farm together.

Come as an individual or family. Meet the animals, walk the land, and experience this 3.5-acre farm in Mt. Healthy.

The best way to get to know us, is to visit us. We welcome groups of all sizes and ages. We’ve given tours to preschoolers, and retired nurses, university students and corporate executives.

When you visit you will get to meet our barnyard community, feed the chickens, pet a turkey, greet an alpaca. You’ll stand in the middle of our raised bed learning lab, tour our Free Market, walk through our greenhouse and see how we transform organic material once destined for the landfill into compost to grow more food. You will hear about our programs that heal people, repair community and restore creation. We believe once you see us, you’ll find your way to join us!

Come spend a day (or half day) on the farm. In addition to a farm tour, we will create an experience tailored to your community. Preschoolers sheet mulched new garden beds, university students sculpted permaculture swales in our orchard, church families installed paddock fencing, girl scouts processed alpaca fiber, corporate executives built our fire circle. Serving together is one of the ways we remember who we are, individually and organizationally.

If you enjoy being with others and working together, then we invite you to join us on the first Saturday of the month for our Volunteer Day from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. 

If you enjoy being with others from various spiritual traditions and working together, then we invite you to join us on the third Saturday of the month for our Multi-Faith Volunteer Day from 9:00 a.m.-12 p.m. 

You then can choose a volunteer project that supports our garden, help with a construction task that needs a lot of hands, or work inside organizing materials. It is a great way to learn about our various ongoing volunteer opportunities. Families are wonderfully welcome to come work together as we have tasks for all ages and abilities. 

Please sign up by noon the Friday before, as this helps us accurately plan the tasks we’ll be working on. If you are coming with a group, please sign up as early as possible. Please note that one person may sign up on behalf of everyone, as long as the total number of attendees is listed, or each person may sign up individually. 

We look forward to seeing you at the Farm soon!

Volunteering with Creation Care is a commitment to nurturing and supporting the health of our Learning Gardens, Native Plant Nursery, Food Forest, and other green spaces. We invite you to explore volunteer opportunities that focus on caring for our plants, from watering and weeding to harvesting and general garden maintenance. This work directly supports our programs and the broader community, and it’s a meaningful way to connect with the land. While certain tasks such as watering need to be completed within a general “window” of time in the morning, volunteers are able to create a schedule that works best for them. Tasks are designed to be simple and manageable, leaving plenty of time to slow down, learn, and enjoy being in the garden. Volunteers may choose to work independently for a quiet, reflective experience, or they are welcome to bring family members or friends to volunteer alongside them. *There are a limited number of plant care volunteer slots. Please sign up by contacting Ash, ash@tikkunfarm.com, directly to check for availability.*

Our barnyard community offers healing experiences for so many visitors. Volunteers support this program in the following areas:

Morning Feeding
Arrive before 9am to prepare breakfast for our two pot-belied pigs, Max and Pickles, and our menagerie of birds. This involves measuring out their food, setting it out for them in the pasture and the orchard and filling their water bowls. You can sign up to do this one day/week, or to help as a substitute on an “as needed” basis.

Afternoon Water
Stop by for a farmyard visit, hang out with animals and re-fill their water bowls. In hot weather cool off the turkeys by spraying their feet, refill the baby pool for the ducks, or hose off the piggies. You can sign up to do this one day/week, or to help as a substitute on an “as needed” basis.

Put the Chickens to Bed
Coming at dusk to chase the Guinea hens in, count the roosters, collect the eggs, and close the coop doors, so our birds can sleep unafraid of nightly visitors. You can sign up to do this one evening/week, or to help as a substitute on an “as needed” basis.

Wash out the Water Bowls
This weekly task gives you a chance to get to know the animals and their personalities. As you scrub out their water buckets, experience the curiosity of the alpacas, the friendliness of the turkeys, and the bossiness of the guinea hens. You can also sign up to help as a substitute on an “as needed” basis.

Coop Clean-Up
We have weekly, monthly, and seasonal coop chores. Every week we clean out nesting boxes and put in fresh pine shavings and diatomaceous earth. Monthly we lay new wood chips on top of old as part of our deep litter method of keeping the coop clean and fresh, while making compost at the same time. Seasonally we removed the composted litter and begin again.

Foster Baby Chicks
Each Spring we add new chicks to our laying hen family. Chicks need to live inside in a brooder until their feathers grow in and they can live safely outside (~6 weeks). We offer foster families all the supplies they need to take care of baby chicks at home until they can move into the Farm’s teenage chicken coop.

Barnyard Tours
Sign up to lead visitors and groups on a tour of the barnyard. Teach them about how eggs become chickens, share the stories of Max and Pickles, introduce them to the different ways birds lay their eggs, and explain how alpacas live in community. This opportunity is great for extroverts and others comfortable leading groups and offering hospitality. We will gladly teach you everything you need to know to lead the tour.

Tikkun Farm supports multi-day experiential learning opportunities. Rooted in our belief that the Action-Reflection model cultivates the greatest growth in a person and community, we offer experiences that provide meaningful service aligned with thoughtful reflection. It’s amazing what we can learn from completing a task together that an individual could never manage alone. Or to wonder what the transformational process of composting can teach us about the “failures” in our lives. Or to consider the many steps necessary to process fiber from an alpaca into high quality yarn of luxurious warmth.

Every month we offer a variety of experiences to connect you with Creation, Community, Yourself and the Sacred presence.

• Workshops on Composting, Canning or Planting Pollinators
• Nature Walks
• Drum circles and Sound Baths
• Meditation and Yoga
• Lunar Gatherings on the New and Full Moon
