The Crying Need

In Virginia, 12 out of every 20 children, have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), such as trauma, abuse, and neglect.

If a child has one ACE, there is an 87% chance they will experience another ACE. So much so that, 3 out of 4 children will experience 4 or more ACEs.

ACEs and the trauma they trigger, are shown to be the direct cause of behavioral problems many children face:

  • Anger management issues
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Lack of emotional regulation
  • Poor social/communication skills
  • And more…

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 β€” because every story told is another family who might find us. πŸ’š

πŸ“Ί 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!

πŸ“° Richmond Magazine dove deep into the world of animal-assisted wellness in their "Wild Wellness" feature β€” 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.)

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

πŸ“Ή Real Virginia featured us in a special segment on Care Farming β€” the growing movement of using farm environments as healing spaces.

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

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

Volunteer With Us!

Love horses? Love making a difference? We need YOU. πŸ™Œ

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

🌿 Horse Care β€” 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 β€” Our community garden grows thousands of pounds of fresh produce each summer for local families in need. We need hands in the soil β€” planting, weeding, harvesting, and distributing.

🏑 Farm Maintenance β€” 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.

πŸ“² Visit buff.ly/eJRuw9r to fill out our volunteer form. We'd love to have you! πŸ’š
