Work Exchange Program

Spirit’s Grove is a unique property.

We wish to share Spirit’s Grove with others.

Come experience what this magical place has to offer!

People who visit Spirit’s Grove often do not want to leave!

Our vision is to network with communities and give others the opportunity to join us for a short time so they may learn and grow, through spending time in a natural forest.

Upper Pond

Body By Farm(tm) is one of our mantras

Expect to work 4-6 hours a day. Opportunities for our work exchange program are from 1 day to 2 weeks, with at least one day off per week. We provide you a place to stay, along with the materials for breakfast and dinner. And at times we will share meals to enjoy each others company.

During your stay you may assist with:

  • working with animals
  • working on trails
  • foraging
  • gardening
  • creek enhancements
  • … and more

You will be offered the opportunity to learn about herbs and herbal formulas from our master herbalist.

We love to hear what skills you can bring with you. From gardening to IT work to animal care.

Working with Horses

Missa is happy to help you learn how to work with horses in the way of, “When Horses Choose.” It creates a very unique bond and is a must if you wish spend extra time with the herd.

Sleeping And Showering

Sleeping space is in the bunkhouse, or one of the glamping tents. If you are more comfortable in your own tent please feel free to bring it.

Outdoor showers are available during the warmer months.

Three outhouses are available in different locations on the property.

Children and Animals

Work-Exchange visitors may not bring children at this time.

We also do not allow animals unless they are licensed service animals. Emotional support animals are not licensed service animals so they are not allowed at this time.

Our animals are all rescues, and some are fragile and we must ensure their safety.
