We are looking for a volunteer that knows what are beneficial to our farm animals and bird rescues, but who also can make things like infused vinegar, teas, creams, lotions, scrubs, lip balms or bath "salts" for our gift shop (the donations through our shop help us raise funds to care for rescues. We also have nettle for tea and St. John's wort for a sun-infused oil.
This position can be partially on-site, if you want to work in the greenhouse or plant different herbs and the position can also be remote since you would be preparing the products at home. We only ask for a commitment in-line with our weekly volunteers of 4-hours a week, but the days/hours can be flexible and at your convenience.
