Farm Tours

Visitors love to learn about what we do and see it in action when they come to DEFHR. If you have a good foundation of knowledge about what we do, we'd love your help with pop-in tours. Our greatest need is currently on weekends.

We're also hosting an Education Tour on Friday, March 24th from 10-11am that needs a leader!

Intern Hospitality

Help our interns get a well-rounded experience of not only what DEFHR has to offer, but also Maryland and our surrounding states! If you'd be interested in taking our interns on a field trip during their time off (Saturday afternoons and all day Sundays), let us know! If you can't take them somewhere, a homecooked meal or treat would be appreciated as well. A little would go a long way, so feel free to help make them feel welcome!

Email operations@defhr.org if you can help!
