Part of understanding the road to health and wellness is recognizing our connection to our food sources and the Earth. Volunteer opportunities at the Symbiosis Ranch, a biodynamic and organic farm just outside of Mount Pleasant, offers these opportunities below.
All volunteers should email to confirm their attendance in case there is a change in plans by the Ranch. All emails are checked 3x a week, not daily, so plan ahead and communicate your intentions as early as you can for best experience: symbiosisranch@gmail.com
