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. 

Scary statistics but true.

Your donation provides critical funding for our Healing with Horses program, our Day Trips for kids and our Community Garden. Your donation helps us care for our horses and provides financial scholarships to those in need. Even the smallest donation helps.

Thank you, Cindy & Maria

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. In Virginia, 13.8% of all students have special needs and are in special education. And that number continues to rise.

Please consider donating to our Healing with Horses program where we help children (and adults) with special needs, find healing and solace, while learning critical life skills needed to successfully navigate adulthood.

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.

Interesting Facts About Autism: Uniquely Wired, Uniquely Gifted

Did you know? Individuals with autism often experience the world in profoundly different — and remarkable — ways. 🌟

Here are a few things that make autistic individuals truly extraordinary:
✨ Heightened sensory awareness. Many autistic individuals can notice details others miss entirely — textures, sounds, patterns, and energy shifts that most people walk right past.
✨ Exceptional memory. A significant number have remarkable recall for facts, sequences, and systems they're passionate about.
✨ Deep focus and passion. When an autistic person finds their area of interest, their ability to dive deep and master it is extraordinary.
✨ Energetic sensitivity. Many autistic children are highly attuned to the emotional and energetic states of others — and especially animals. Horses often form deep, intuitive bonds with them for exactly this reason.
✨ Creative brilliance. From visual art to music to systems thinking, autistic individuals often see and create in ways neurotypical minds simply don't.
At Fox Moon Farm, we don't see challenges — we see unique, beautiful human beings who need the right environment to thrive. Our horses seem to agree. 🐴

🌿 A Day of Joy at Fox Moon Farm 🌿

There are days here at The Fox Moon Farm Project that remind us exactly why we do this work — and our recent visit from the Autism Society Central Virginia was one of them.

We were honored to welcome a wonderful group of families to the farm for an afternoon of connection, discovery, and a whole lot of laughter.

The day began with our horses and donkeys. Before any hellos, the children learned important safety lessons from Kylie — how to approach a horse, how to offer a gentle hand at feeding time, and how to read these big, kind animals. Then came the grooming! Our miniature donkey Nappy soaked up every bit of attention, and the children met Merlin, one of our oldest and sweetest rescues. (And yes — when Nappy decided it was the perfect moment to poop, our little farmhands jumped right in to help clean up. Real farm work, after all! 💩😄)

After a snack and some water back at the community center, we headed to the henhouse to spend time with our goats, chickens, and of course Sassy the pig. The children lit up gathering eggs and scattering feed for the hens.
And what's a farm day without a ride? Everyone took turns on the tractor and golf cart as we made our way down to the lake to hunt for turtles and frogs. 🐸
To the team at Autism Society Central Virginia — thank you for spending the day with us. Watching these children explore, care, and connect with our animals is the heart of everything we believe in: the healing power of nature, one gentle moment at a time.

We can't wait for our next adventure together. 🦊🌙

What Does an Equine Assisted Farm Based Learning Session Look Like?

This right here is Desi, and he is WORKING. 💪

He's not playing pretend. He's not doing a worksheet. He is shoveling real compost that will feed real soil that will grow real food. And he knows it.

That sense of genuine, meaningful contribution? It's one of the most powerful things that happens at Fox Moon Farm.

So — what does a session actually look like here? Every session is one hour, one-on-one, and completely individualized. We start by checking in: how is your family member feeling today? What do they need?

From there, the session unfolds naturally. Some days that looks like: 🐴 Grooming and bonding with one of our horses 🫏 Feeding and caring for our mini donkeys 🐐 Learning responsibility through goat care 🐷 Visiting our pet pig, Sassy 🌱 Getting their hands in the soil in our garden 🌾 Farm chores that build strength, routine, and pride.

Every single activity is purposeful. Measuring feed teaches math and focus. Mucking the donkey pen supports gross motor skills and the satisfaction of completing something real. Earning a horse's trust teaches patience and self-regulation. Leading an animal builds communication and confidence.

Our clients leave each session having had real fun AND having practiced real life skills. 💚

Curious? We'd love to have you visit. Message us to schedule a free consultation!
