An amazing volunteer horse program in the USA –We are a chemical-free regenerative grazing and sustainable agriculture farm on fifty acres. At our farm, we believe in preserving the heritage livestock breeds and heirloom plants whenever possible. This farm is also the home of the Malabar Jilfan Sitam al Bulad Arabian Horse Preservation Program, as well as the Horse Heroes program for rescue horses. We have chickens, ducks, goats, horses, a livestock dog, and Yurtle the Turtle. We offer a variety of learning experiences such as short and long term volunteer positions, apprenticeships and even profit sharing and working business partnerships.
