Description
***We have availability monthly. We prefer volunteers to stay at least 4 weeks. Please message us with your interest and availability to set up an interview. Thank you!***
We are a nonprofit farm located on a historic 63 acre property in North Little Rock. We are looking for people who want to learn about sustainable farming practices, healthy living, and give back to the community. You will be working on our Certified Naturally Grown farm where we produce various fruits, vegetables, and flowers for our Farm Stand. We farm about 3 acres of land that includes 3 high tunnels, a Pick-Your-Own Blackberry Patch, a Teaching Garden, a Flower Garden, and a small area of perennial herb beds. We also have many animals living on our property including: chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, donkeys, cows, & our farm dog Peaches!
Our farm maintenance tasks including weeding, harvesting, prepping beds for planting, transplanting, pruning, cleaning harvest tools, trellising, mulching, etc. We also incorporate animal care as needed.
Beyond farming, we also need help at our farmstand, during special events, and with general building maintenance.
Farmstay: You'll be staying in our historic building that also houses 30+ local artist studios, our farmstand, & commercial kitchen. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and our farm is a Century Farm (over 100+ years old!)
Our organization is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit in the USA. Our mission is to preserve and restore this historic property though sustainable farming and food production, programs that educate, promote agritourism, and support community outreach. Today, through the efforts of devoted volunteers, we are a thriving, active place to learn, play, and grow!

Accommodation
Workaway accommodations are "dormitory style." You will have a private room with shared bathroom and kitchen on the 3rd floor of the historic building. The bathroom has multiple toilets and a shower. The kitchen has a sink, microwave, coffee pot, toaster and instant pot available for use. You will have access to a full fridge right across the hall in the recreation room. There are shared laundry facilities on the first floor. We do not provide personal hygiene products or laundry detergent.
In order to keep everyone safe that has access to the building, we require a criminal background check before staying onsite.
Due to the historic nature of the building it is not ADA compliant. Access to different floors require use of stairs.
What else ...
While the property has the "feel" of being in a more rural area, the property is within the North Little Rock city limits and merely minutes away from Little Rock. Transportation nearby includes a Rock Region Metro bus stop adjacent to the property as well as taxi and Uber service. The Little Rock airport has connections to several major hubs, including Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, and St. Louis.
We are just minutes away from biking and hiking trails at Camp Robinson and Burns Park as well as Pinnacle Mountain. Little Rock also has a nice walking/biking trail called The River Trail - a 20+ mile loop over the Big Dam Bridge that runs through the city. Points of interest nearby include the Bill Clinton Presidential Library, Historic Arkansas Museum, Arkansas Old Statehouse, Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, Pinnacle Mountain, and others. State Parks nearby to visit include: Mount Magazine, Petit Jean State Park, and Hot Springs National Park. Arkansas is a beautiful state for hiking & outdoor activities, and we are happy to share more information while you stay here.
Both North Little Rock and Little Rock have vibrant Downtown areas with lots of local restaurants, shops, and annual events.
