Welcome to the Stone Gate Farm MountainTrail Challenge
Volunteer Incentive Program (VIP) SIGN UP!


Thank you for your interest in volunteering @ Stone Gate Farm.  For those who are new to VIP please read the information below to help you get started. For those who have volunteered before via VIP, I have one request; if you are signing up a friend or a family member, please make sure they have their own account.  By doing so it streamlines the whole process for the volunteer coordinator and it makes for more accurate reporting of volunteer hours.  Although some of you might not be interested in being considered for volunteer awards we here at Stone Gate Farm would like to recognize your efforts!  


Volunteer hours can automatically be logged in with an app on your cell phone (see the blue box at the top left of this page) or the there will be a sign in and sign out sheet at the event. This gives us the opportunity to have an up to date leader board that tracks volunteer hours for all the competitions at Stone Gate Farm not only for recognition but for awards, rewards and prizes. For more information go to the Volunteer Page on the SGF website

Should you have issues with this site or have questions, please click on the question mark on the upper right hand corner of this page.  All other questions can be directed to me via e-mail at [email protected] or call or text me at 330-277-6964  (Cell / Text) or leave a message on the home phone 330-222-2089.

Thank you so much for your time and support, we couldn't run these events without you and your help is very much appreciated.  Please join us for the 'Volunteer Appreciation Day' following the fall Hunter Pace.

Benefits of volunteering:   Schooling vouchers for use on any part of the farm including the Trail Park and the trails.  You will also enjoy snacks & food, goodies donated for the volunteers, meet new people and hang out with friends or make new ones, learn about the sport from the experts.


What to bring:  Every job is a little different, but in general, plan on being in the sun most of the day, we are eternal optimists, and dress for the weather. Mornings can be cool and then warm that same afternoon.  It is always best to dress in layers.  Some items you might want to consider bringing/wearing... a chair, sunscreen, chap stick, a hat, closed toe shoes and get ready for an enjoyable day.  Also, if you have special request/needs, please note those when you sign up.
