Volunteer with EarthDance in 2026!


Volunteering at the farm is a great way to get involved in the Ferguson and greater St. Louis area.

If you have more specialized knowledge (including orchard specialization, construction skills, web design, or office expertise) we are looking for your help too!


With interest in these volunteer areas, and all other questions, please reach out to dani@earthdancefarms.org.
