GET INVOLVED
Greenlands Farm offers enrichment for helping hands and hearts
The farm is family-owned and operated, run mostly by four family members and volunteers.
Although the farm is a small operation, it takes a lot of hands to make it run smoothly.
10 reasons why you should help Greenlands Farm:
#10: It's good for you.
Volunteering provides physical and mental rewards. It reduces stress: Experts report that when you focus on someone other than yourself, it interrupts usual tension-producing patterns. Makes you healthier: Moods and emotions, like optimism, joy, and control over one's fate, strengthen the immune system.
#9: It saves resources.
Volunteering provides valuable community services so more money can be spent on farm improvements, feeding our animals, and growth.
#8: Volunteers gain professional experience.
You learn skills you may be able to apply to a job or your personal life.
#7: It brings people together.
As a volunteer you assist in uniting people from diverse backgrounds to work toward a common goal, building camaraderie and teamwork.
#6: It promotes personal growth and self esteem.
Understanding community needs helps foster empathy and self-efficacy.
#5: It impacts 3 generations.
As a volunteer you help support the Greenlands Farm family (Henry, Heather, Ryan, Maud, Jules, and Rhett), so we can spend more time with each other and improve our quality of life.
#4: You learn a lot about yourself.
Volunteers discover hidden talents that may change your view on your self worth.
#3: You get a chance to give back.
People like to support community resources that they use themselves or that benefit people they care about.
