Donations are our main source of support, so every offering is greatly appreciated. Your contribution helps us to keep the monastery open to receive guests throughout the year.
DonateThe Happy Farm is currently able to accept short-term volunteers for stays of two weeks and longer. If you are interested, please contact us. For those interested in long-term volunteering (more than three months), we require all potential long-term volunteers to attend the upcoming Rains Retreat this Fall. Please also contact us if you have questions about long-term volunteering.

No farming experience is necessary—bring your mindful presence and willing hearts and hands.
Throughout the year, we will offer special projects that support the farm’s development. Currently, we are creating bird boxes to foster a healthy farm ecosystem. These projects are wonderful opportunities for families and local community members to contribute their skills and energy.
From time to time we offer multi-week courses related to mindfulness, the teachings and life of Thich Nhat Hanh, and a variety of similar subjects. Please see our schedule of upcoming courses.
Take the Deer Park Monastery and Plum Village community with you wherever you go. The Plum Village app is designed to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and joy through guided meditations, deep relaxations, practice poems, bells of mindfulness, and other practices — all through a mobile device.
