UPCOMING EVENTS: Calendar | Sunday Work Parties


Sunday Work Parties and Vegan Potlucks

On the second Sunday of every month there is a flurry of activity at Sasha Farm. It’s a day of love and labor for the animals. You’ll be tired at the end of the day but you’ll have great stories to tell and wonderful memories of your day with the animals. You may even want to come back for more. Take a break from your daily routine and reconnect with nature. All hands are welcome, although children under age 16 must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.

Check our calendar for dates and times. It helps our planning if you let us know you are coming. Call us at 734-428-9617 or contact us for driving directions and to RSVP.

For the Second Sunday Work Party come anytime after 10:30 am and stay as long as you like. Bring a vegan dish to share. If you have one, please bring a copy of your recipe and it may be featured on our blog! Our Board of Directors has a meeting until approximately noon and during that time volunteers get a start on the daily animal care. We work on larger projects until 3 or 4 pm, break for dinner, and then back to work. How long we work depends on what needs to be done, the weather, and when the sun sets.

Sunday Work Day Information

  • No experience necessary, we’ll show you what to do!
  • Call us at 734-428-9617 or e-mail for directions
  • The more the merrier! Come alone or bring a friend (or two).
  • If you're bringing a group of ten or more, let us know. More people means we can plan more projects!
