“Nature always wears the colors of Spirit.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

At Fox Moon Farm, we believe in the healing power of nature and the deep, intuitive connection between humans and animals. Our farm is a place of refuge, growth, and renewal—where individuals of all ages and abilities are welcomed with compassion and care.

Whether you’re facing emotional, physical, social, or learning challenges, our programs are thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are. We offer a safe, nurturing environment that encourages personal growth, builds resilience, and promotes lasting well-being.

Guided by a passionate and experienced team, each journey at Fox Moon Farm is unique and centered on empowerment, connection, and holistic healing. Through meaningful interactions with animals and the natural world, we help you rediscover your inner strength—and the joy of simply being yourself.

Come as you are. Leave with more than you imagined.

Healing with Horses

Healing with Horses is a powerful and compassionate program similar to Equine Therapy, that supports individuals with mental, physical, social, or learning challenges through Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Therapeutic Horseback Riding. We serve children, adolescents, and adults—including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), autism, complex trauma, and youth considered at-risk.

Our EAL sessions are designed to build life skills through ground-based activities with horses. These sessions do not involve horseback riding and require no prior experience with horses.

Each session is a collaborative effort between the client, a certified equine specialist, and our gentle, intuitive horses. Through engaging, hands-on interactions, clients are supported in developing:

  • Self-awareness & emotional regulation
  • Confidence & self-esteem
  • Communication & social skills
  • Gross and fine motor coordination
  • Cognitive and behavioral functioning
  • Anger Management & more

After each activity, clients are guided through reflective discussions to help process their experiences—exploring emotions, identifying patterns, and fostering personal insight and growth.

We believe in meeting each individual where they are, and creating a nurturing environment where healing happens naturally through trust, connection, and compassionate guidance. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or a loved one, Healing with Horses is a journey of discovery, empowerment, and transformation.

Community Garden

Fresh Food. Stronger Families. Healthier Futures.

At Fox Moon Farm, our community garden is more than a plot of land—it’s a mission to combat poverty, improve food security, and nurture community connections.

Each summer, with the help of our incredible volunteers, we grow and distribute thousands of pounds of fresh, healthy produce to local families. Our garden supports over 25 households, helping them reduce grocery costs while gaining access to nutrient-rich vegetables and herbs.

But the impact goes far beyond food.

Through gardening, we promote:

  • Healthier eating habits
  • Increased physical activity
  • A deeper sense of purpose and community belonging

By working side by side in the soil, neighbors become friends, and individuals gain confidence, skills, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Farm Trips

Whether you’re planning a weekend workshop, family reunion or a school field tripFox Moon Farm offers a space where everyone—children, families, and adults—can come to reconnect with nature, with one another, and with themselves.

Our farm provides the perfect setting for meaningful moments—whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, reuniting with loved ones, or just taking a break from the fast pace of everyday life. Rooted in the spirit of connection and simplicity, our farm experiences are designed to foster:

  • Family bonding
  • Community building
  • Shared joy and reflection

From corporate retreats to multi-generational families, there’s something here for everyone.

Life can be challenging. We all face stressors—from health and trauma to finances and emotional wellbeing. At Fox Moon Farm, you don’t have to face them alone.

Our personal healing and empowerment workshops are crafted to support adults in navigating life’s complexities. Through guided experiences, supportive community, and practical tools, our workshops help you:

  • Regain confidence and clarity
  • Build emotional resilience
  • Reconnect with your inner strength
  • Move toward peace, purpose, and happiness

Whatever brings you here, you’ll leave with more than you came for.
Let Fox Moon Farm be your place to pause, grow, and find joy.

🌿 A Morning of Coming Home to Ourselves 🌿

This past Sunday, our women gathered at the farm for another Hoofbeats & Heartbeats workshop — a guided journey of self-discovery and emotional integration.
We began on the deck of Soul Moon Cove, settling into stillness as the morning unfolded around us. Together, we explored our core emotional needs — the quiet questions so many of us carry from childhood and into adulthood:

✨ Am I good enough?

✨ Do I have a purpose?

✨ Am I safe?

✨ Am I loved?

These questions become the filters through which we see our lives, shaping the themes we wrestle with — intimacy, connection, trust, fear of rejection, people-pleasing, over-giving, rescuing. We approached each one not with judgment, but with curiosity and compassion, gently uncovering the truths beneath our patterns.

After our reflection, we made our way down to the horses. Lora led each woman through a heart-centered meditation with her horse, and then — slowly, carefully, intentionally — each woman groomed her companion. There is something profoundly healing in this quiet exchange. The horses meet us exactly as we are, mirroring back an honesty we don't always offer ourselves.

We were also grateful to be joined by massage therapist Cathleen Pigg, who offered gentle bodywork to some of our women as the morning came to a close.

It was a day of self-work, self-love, and being held — by the land, by the herd, and by one another. 🐴 We can't wait to gather again in two weeks. 💛

As Seen In the News! (8News / Richmond Magazine Feature)

We are so grateful for the incredible coverage Fox Moon Farm has received from the media — because every story told is another family who might find us. 💚

📺 8News (WRIC Richmond) featured our Healing with Horses program, highlighting how our King and Queen County farm teaches life skills to children with autism through equine-assisted learning. Watch the full segment on our website!

📰 Richmond Magazine dove deep into the world of animal-assisted wellness in their "Wild Wellness" feature — including the science behind why horses have such a profound effect on the human nervous system. (Spoiler: horses in herds synchronize heartbeats. When they trust you, they can help yours slow down too.)

📖 The House and Home Magazine told our story beautifully in "Where Hooves and Hearts Meet."

📹 Real Virginia featured us in a special segment on Care Farming — the growing movement of using farm environments as healing spaces.

Want to read and watch all of these? Head to buff.ly/2bnAS7Z — it's all there.

And if you've been wondering whether what we do really works — let the journalists speak. 🐴

Volunteer With Us!

Love horses? Love making a difference? We need YOU. 🙌

The Fox Moon Farm Project runs on the passion and dedication of our incredible volunteers — and right now, we're looking for people who want to give their time in a few key ways:

🌿 Horse Care — Help us groom, feed, and exercise our horses. Keep their water troughs clean, maintain the barn, and support the general care of our herd. Horse experience preferred!

🌱 Garden Help — Our community garden grows thousands of pounds of fresh produce each summer for local families in need. We need hands in the soil — planting, weeding, harvesting, and distributing.

🏡 Farm Maintenance — Running a 60-acre farm is a big job. If you love working outside, there's always mowing, fencing, mucking, and general upkeep to be done.

Volunteering at Fox Moon Farm is one of those rare opportunities where you leave feeling more filled up than when you arrived.

Come spend time with incredible animals, meaningful work, and a community that truly cares.

📲 Visit buff.ly/eJRuw9r to fill out our volunteer form. We'd love to have you! 💚
