Volunteer

We invite passionate volunteers to join us at Ricky’s Drift on a short or long term basis. We only take volunteers for a minimum of one week.

We offer accommodation and vegan food in exchange for 5 hours of work a day, Monday to Friday, with your weekends free to explore the farm, nearby town and nature reserves.

We ask for a contribution of R70 per day or R500 a week which includes transport to and from the nearest bus station, a fully stocked kitchen for you to make breakfast and dinner, a group lunch everyday and trips to town when we go.

There are plenty of different types of jobs to do on the farm: animal care, (horses, pigs and chickens), food production, (gardening, harvesting, preserving and cooking group meals), building, painting, community outreach and helping with our accommodation (cleaning and welcoming guests).  

We’re building a vibrant community and we would love volunteers to teach us about their passions, share their stories and contribute their own ideas to enhance our space.
