At the Runamuk Acres Conservation Farm, we’re promoting the well-being of pollinators, soil microbial life, and other beneficial insects on our farm by employing methods of regenerative agriculture and bee-friendly farming. Conservation of these keystone species allows for the development of a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem that coexists in harmony with its larger ecosystem and ecoregion. Friends of Runamuk can help us grow and achieve our mission in a variety of ways.
Volunteer
Able bodied volunteers are always welcome at the farm. We never say no to an offer of free help!
If you are interested in volunteering your time and energy to Runamuk, check out our Events page to see when our next Work Party is scheduled for. OR, contact the farm to make alternative arrangements for a day/time that works for you!
Barter or Donate STUFF
If you have “stuff” you’re not using anymore, stuff you’re thinking about donating to the thrift store or taking to the transfer station, consider donating it to Runamuk instead. Or perhaps consider bartering with the farm for equal value reimbursement, this way we can help each other. Check out the list below to see what we might be looking for.
Wish List
- Kids’ sweaters – we re-make these into lambie-jammies for our newborns
- Perennial flowers & herbs – dividing your perennials? we’d take some of that!
- High-Tunnel or Solviva-style greenhouse─for year-round veggie production
- 4 Wheeler ─ for pulling the sheep-tractors on the field; save my aching back!
- Large refrigerator
- Lumber (always in need)
- Cedar fence posts
- Bicycles
Monetary Donation
You can also help just by making a donation. Buy us a bag of sheep feed, a tank of gas to make our deliveries with, or help us investment in equipment, amendments, plants, seeds, or any of the items on our Wish List. Any amount greases the wheels here, and keeps this scrappy farm working toward achieving its mission: wildlife conservation through methods of regenerative agriculture.
Help us grow by donating to our cause via PayPal or Venmo.
Thank you for your kindness and consideration! Most of all, thank you for following along with the journey of this female-farmer! It is truly my privilege to be able to live this life, serve my family and community, all while protecting wildlife through agricultural conservation. Much love to you and yours!
