Nurturing Healing Through Connection and Nature

At Fox Moon Farm, every program is thoughtfully crafted to support individuals on their healing journeys. In today’s complex world, some of us may find ourselves in need of additional support, and we’re here to provide that helping hand. Surrounded by the beauty of our expansive land and a diverse array of animals, we cultivate an environment where healing can thrive.

Whether you find solace in nurturing a garden, or attending a wellness workshop, or you seek the guidance of our horses to help reduce your anxiety or anger, we offer programs tailored to meet your unique needs. Explore the option that resonates with you, and let’s embark on this transformative journey together. Reach out to us to discover how we can assist in your healing process!

Healing with Horses

Healing with Horses is an interactive, farm-based Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) program that teaches critical life skills and fosters emotional healing for children and adults with special needs and those with complex trauma.

It is a collaborative effort between a professional horse specialist (and equine specialist), the horses and the client(s). This is an experiential mode of therapy, which means it is based on activities on the ground with the horses. This is an unmounted program, although we do offer therapeutic horseback riding as well.

Centered around different activities (both with and without horses), participants (and their families and support staff) become part of a learning and healing experience in which they gain knowledge and information about how to build self confidence, reduce anxiety, engage in healthy relationships, build trust, learn effective social, communication and decision-making skills, how to manage their anger and more.

Community Garden

Gardening has been shown to lighten one’s mood and lower levels of stress and anxiety. It’s very gratifying to plant, tend, harvest and share your own food. A Community Garden is much more than that.

Many in our community struggle making ends meet and access to fresh produce is limited. Working in our garden not only helps break the cycle of poverty, but helps empower our neighbors to “dream, aspire and achieve”.

Every season, we produce, harvest and deliver hundreds of pounds of produce to families in need in our community. Our gardens not only support food insecure families, but also teach our clients the value of hard work, getting their hands dirty and the value of supporting others in need.

Farm Trips

Discover the perfect getaway on our serene 60-acre farm, nestled in the heart of stunning countryside. At The Fox Moon Farm Project, we invite you to leave behind the chaos of everyday life and immerse yourself in our Farm Gatherings, designed to help you reconnect, rejuvenate, and celebrate the beauty of togetherness in a world that often feels overwhelming.

Whether you’re hosting a special celebration, reuniting with family, hosting a corporate retreat, or simply seeking a moment to pause and breathe, our farm provides an idyllic setting for meaningful connections. Dive into our sparkling lake for a refreshing swim, or enjoy a leisurely boat ride while surrounded by breathtaking views. Spend quality time with our gentle horses and adorable miniature donkeys, or be entertained by the playful antics of our baby goats. Feed our cheerful chickens, or unwind in our cozy cabana by the lake—where relaxation is as effortless as the gentle breeze.

🌟 A Milestone Day at the Farm! 🌟

Today was an incredibly special day for Matt, an 18-year-old who’s been part of our equine-assisted learning program for the past two years. 💙 As a nonverbal young man with autism, he has shown amazing growth through our unmounted activities—working with horses, tackling farm chores, and developing crucial life skills like following directions, strategic thinking, and enhancing his motor skills.

After all the hard work and dedication, today marked a major milestone: Matt’s very first therapeutic horseback ride! 🐴✨

We started with some brushing and tacking up Merlin, and then, with a little help, Matt was able to confidently mount our gentle giant. As he settled on Merlin’s back, a huge smile spread across his face. 😊🎉 It was so heartwarming to see him following commands, telling Merlin to walk on and even throwing us high-fives!

A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteer Amy, who guided Matt and supported him throughout this exciting journey. Together, we ventured into the arena for Matt's very first ride, and we couldn’t be prouder of him! 🙌💖

We can't wait for our next session together and to continue this amazing adventure with Matt. Keep shining, buddy! 🌈
