Volunteer with us
Our volunteers are at the heart of Brendon Orchards. You might roll up your sleeves for apple picking and pressing, help with stalls and community events, or lend your skills in other practical ways.
We’re a friendly bunch and love welcoming new faces. Volunteering is a chance to learn new skills, meet like-minded people and help support local orchards.
Volunteer benefits
- FREE Brendon Orchards membership for volunteers
- Access to our events, courses and equipment hire (normal course/hire charges still apply)
- Opportunities to learn, meet people and support orchard conservation
Love picking and pressing?
Power of the Press (POP) brings volunteers together to pick and juice apples from local orchards. It’s practical, sociable and newcomers are very welcome.
Work with us
We occasionally offer paid opportunities for motivated self-employed contractors. These flexible, community-centred roles help us deliver particular parts of the Brendon Orchards mission.
