Corporate volunteering, team size 8 to 30

Corporate Volunteering experiences at the Farm are invaluable; you are uniquely placed to tackle large jobs that could otherwise take the Farm weeks or months to complete.

Farm work is physical, outdoors and often dirty. You might be unloading a delivery of hay, helping set up for a fundraising event or getting stuck into the gardens. The list of jobs is endless!

Depending on whether your team prefers a morning or afternoon booking, you can expect the following:

9:30 am or 1:00 pm Arrive, drop waivers at reception, and visit the Farm Cafe

10:15 am or 1:45 pm Meet your guide and get stuck in!

11:45 am or 3:15 pm Pack down, receive a big thanks and take a group photo

12:00 pm or 3:30 pm Eat at the Farm Cafe or go explore the Farm

You’re very welcome to bring food for a team picnic on either side of your session or save the effort and reward yourselves with an order from our friends at the Farm Cafe!

You’re also very welcome to explore the Farm during the free part of your day; simply let our Visitor Experience team at Reception know you’ve joined us for a Corporate Volunteering booking if you plan to return to the grounds after leaving on the day.

Cost

$175 plus booking fees per participant, including GST. We have a minimum purchase of 8 places; for groups of 30 or over, please contact our front-of-house team via email: reception@farm.org.au

Your booking has a profound social impact, helping us to care for our animals, conserve the heritage farmland and fund inclusive programs to support those experiencing adversity.

We look forward to welcoming you on the Farm very soon!

Feedback from a previous group:
“Thank you very much for our volunteering day at the Farm yesterday. The team loved it. The tour was incredibly interesting and informative. Everyone felt invigorated getting that huge mulch spread through the trees. We will send through photos once collated, and put a post up on Instagram soon. Many thanks again!”
