Give What You Can
Over 700 children enter the foster care system every single day. 90% of these children will experience trauma. 25% will attempt suicide, and thats just for those who are still in the system. 81% of these young men will be incarcerated and 71% of these young women will become pregnant. 40% will be homeless within 18 months.Â
Scary statistics but true.

Healing with Horses
50% of all children experience some form of trauma before the age of 17. That’s a pretty big number. That has led to exploding levels of anxiety, depression, anger, suicidal tendencies and more.
Please consider donating to our Healing with Horses program where we help these kids and others with special needs, find healing and solace, while learning critical life skills needed to successfully navigate adulthood.
Farm Day Trips
There is nothing like the feeling of watching a kid who started out scared of going into the goat pen, who a couple of visits later, you find sitting on a rock with a goat in their lap and a big smile on their face. It soothes the soul. Many of the children who visit our farm as a part of our Farm Day Trips have special needs and come with their schools or camp programs. They feed the chickens, fetch eggs, have a scavenger hunt, plant in the garden, go for a hay ride, do arts and crafts and some equine work….a full day at the farm.
Community Garden
Of the 390,000 children in the foster care system in the United States, 97% of these young adults will enter chronic poverty.
This statistic is astounding! This past season, we planted, grew, harvested and distributed over 2,000 pounds of fresh vegetables to families in need in our community. Not only do our gardens support the impoverished, but they also provide healing for those who work in the soil.
