We are hiring volunteers

Could you be one of them?

Full training is given. Much of the routines are done inside the main barn (where the pigs sleep) in the winter.

We will only ask volunteers to do the very basic routine, no heavy lifting or lugging hay bales or deep cleaning – we will have that covered.

We are looking for volunteers to do at least one shift per week minimum.

There are three shifts to choose from (see below) – made quicker if two
people do one together.

If you’re interested in joining Team Pig, email littlepigsathome@gmail.com with your availability, preferred shift(s), plus what you’d like to gain from the experience,
and we’ll be in touch.
