Come be a volunteer!

Centennial Farm is a year-round facility that provides young children with the opportunity to learn more about agriculture in their lives. From September to May we host free field trips in which elementary school children get to tour our farm. Since our field trips are free, we strongly rely on volunteers to help keep our programs running. The volunteers guide the children on their tours through the farm and show them a whole new world that most of them know nothing about. Our volunteers come to us with all different levels of farm knowledge so don't worry if you're a city slicker. It's fun and easy and our main goal is for everyone to have a good time and learn a little on the way.
