Sponsor a Farm Animal

HomeSponsor a Farm Animal

What would our programs be without our critters? Whether its playing with the baby goats, fetching chicken eggs, or feeding scraps to our pet pig Sassy, no session would be complete without a stop at the barn.

When you sponsor one of our farm critters, you help pay for grain, hay, vet visits, medications etc. on a monthly basis.

It’s amazing to watch the transformation in participants who come to the farm and spend time with our animals. Some are scared to even enter the pastures on their first visit, but just a couple of sessions later, you can watch as they confidently sit on a rock with a goat in their lap and a big smile on their face!

Our Farm Animal Sponsorship program offers three levels for contributions with a three-month commitment. When you sponsor one of our farm animals, you will receive a certificate with a picture of your sponsored animal, as well as an acknowledgement to be included on our website.

Your donations are tax deductible and you will receive a tax donation certificate which you can use when tax season comes. There is nothing like the feeling of knowing you are helping not only individuals in need of the healing power of animals, but also our animals themselves. We appreciate you and hope you will consider donating!

Meet our Amazing Farm Animals

Chickens

As with many great farms, we have a flock of chickens. Our chickens offer eggs to support our mission to end food insecurity in King & Queen county and many of our clients enjoy egg collecting and taking their findings home. If you have the speed and skills, you may even be able to catch a chicken to teach younger children how to safely interact with different species of animals.

Many folks don’t realize how much work goes into chicken care! Please consider sponsoring our flock to help support the costs of feed.

All sponsorship levels receive a tax-deductible donation receipt and acknowledgement on our website. Sponsors are encouraged to visit their animal, and volunteers are always welcome.

Goats

We have a number of goats here at the farm and if you visit in the spring, you will get to meet the newborns. We will occasionally milk our female goats (goat cheese anyone?!), but our goats mostly offer affection, curiosity, and of course entertainment. The kids, both goat and human, run around the pasture jumping off rocks and bouncing around. For our older folks, our goats help teach our clients how to gently interact with animals, how to be brave trying new things, and provide plenty of laughs.

Please consider sponsoring our goats to help support the costs of feeding them, so they can continue to offer their teachable moments and silly antics.

Sassy the pig

Our pet pig Sassy is definitely the smartest animal on the farm. She is also the queen and a “drama queen” at that. She squeals and screams when any other animal even gets close to her- queens need their beauty sleep after all. When not eating, which is her favorite hobby, she loves to forage with the goats and chickens or you”ll find her slinking off and making her way down the road to hang out with the horses (who can blame her).

Please consider sponsoring Sassy so she can continue to rule her throne here at Fox Moon Farm.

All sponsorship levels receive a tax-deductible donation receipt and acknowledgement on our website. Sponsors are encouraged to visit their animal, and volunteers are always welcome.

The Fox Moon Farm Project

There's a moment that happens over and over again at Fox Moon Farm, and we never get tired of watching it.

A child stands at the pasture fence, sure they can't climb it. Or stares at a halter, sure their hands won't figure out the buckle. Or looks up at a horse — enormous, powerful, nothing like them — and is sure, absolutely sure, that this isn't for them.

So many of our kids arrive carrying that certainty. They've spent years being told, in a hundred small ways, that they're different — that they don't move through the world the way other kids do, don't learn the way the classroom expects, don't look or sound or act like what's "typical." That adds up. It settles into a child's sense of self long before they have words for it.

Here, we don't start with big lessons. We start with small, achievable tasks — climbing the pasture fence, hooking a halter, jumping off a rock, grooming a horse, learning to drive the tractor. Nothing flashy. Just one thing, right at the edge of what feels possible.

And when they do it — when the halter clicks, when their feet land on the other side of that fence — we celebrate. Loudly. High-fives, real "good jobs," the kind of recognition that says we saw that, and it mattered.

Confidence isn't built in a single triumphant moment. It's built task by task, the same way trust is built with a horse — slowly, and only through proof. Every small win here becomes evidence a child can carry with them: I did the thing I didn't think I could do. That evidence adds up to something society hasn't handed them: the belief that they are capable.

That's the work. One fence, one halter, one hoof pick at a time. ... See MoreSee Less

How do you measure joy?

It's not a number on a chart. It's not something you can graph or quantify in a quarterly report. But if you spent a day here at Fox Moon Farm, you'd see it everywhere — and you'd understand exactly what we mean.

It's the moment a child who struggles to make eye contact looks straight into the eyes of a horse and doesn't look away. It's the quiet pride on a teenager's face after they've mucked a runnin from start to finish, all by themselves. It's a grown adult, laughing out loud, because a goat just decided they were their new best friend.

We serve children and adults of every age and every ability here. They come to us for a hundred different reasons — trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences, grief, isolation. But underneath all of it, they're looking for the same thing: a little more joy. A little more peace. A place where they're accepted exactly as they are.

So how do we measure it? We measure it in the acts of kindness we see between strangers who just met an hour ago. We measure it in bare feet running through the grass because — for once — nobody's watching to see if they're doing it "right." We measure it in the deep exhale that happens when someone finally feels safe enough to just be.

Joy doesn't always look like a big moment. Sometimes it's small, quiet, and easy to miss. But we see it every single day — and we never stop being grateful for it. ... See MoreSee Less

The Fox Moon Farm Project

🐴 A Milestone Worth Celebrating 🐴
Yesterday brought one of those sessions that reminds us exactly why we do this work.

One of our incredible young riders — a 17-year-old who lives with autism and works every day to navigate motor challenges, anxiety, and the world nonverbally — climbed up onto Merlin’s back for a brand-new challenge: threading rings onto cones and hanging them in the trees in the arena.

It looks like a simple game. It isn’t. Every ring placed is a lesson in following multi-step directions, color recognition, fine motor control, and patience — skills that don’t always come easily, practiced here in a way that feels like joy instead of work.

This rider has been part of our Healing with Horses community for over two years, and just recently graduated into our therapeutic riding program. And the growth has been remarkable. Grooming Merlin used to hold no interest at all — now it’s a ritual: twenty brush strokes on each side, every single time, before it’s time to tack up. That kind of focus, that kind of care for another living being, is something we get to witness grow week by week.

Research consistently backs up what we witness on the ground every week: therapeutic horseback riding offers real, measurable benefits for individuals with autism. The horse’s rhythmic, three-dimensional gait mirrors human walking patterns and has a documented calming effect on the nervous system, helping to regulate sensory input and ease anxiety. Physically, riding builds core strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness. Behaviorally and emotionally, studies show reductions in irritability and hyperactivity alongside gains in social communication, focus, and self-confidence — many of these benefits proving durable months after sessions continue.

We couldn’t be prouder of the courage, focus, and heart shown yesterday. And we’re deeply grateful to our team and to Merlin, our steady, patient partner in this work, for making moments like this possible.

This is the power of nature and animals as healers. This is Fox Moon Farm Project. 🍂 ... See MoreSee Less
