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.

The Mermaid We Made Together 🧜‍♀️

This week one of our young friends came to the farm ready to create. We were making clay decorations for our Halloween party, and after a few deep breaths together, she decided the best way to make something was to make it together. Taking turns, sharing the spotlight, sharing the fun.

Then she flipped to the mermaid in the clay book and decided that was next. She handed out the jobs: a tail here, a little face there. Piece by piece, side by side, our mermaid came to life.

The day ended with an outdoor obstacle course of her own design and a popsicle back at the barn. Patience, teamwork and a whole lot of joy. This is why we do this work. 💛

Christmas Morning in October 🎄

There's nothing quite like a first ride. 🐴
One of our young friends showed up for his very first riding session absolutely stoked. Before anything else, we talked about how horses are like mirrors — whatever we feel, they feel too. Toby has been a little unsure lately, so our rider promised to bring calm, positive energy. (He did.)

Together we learned every piece of tack and what it does, offered Toby a peppermint, groomed him (with a quiz on the order of the brushes!), and tacked up. He walked Toby around the grass, stopping and starting so the two of them could learn to talk to each other.

Then came the mounting block. The moment he settled into the saddle, his face lit up like Christmas morning. 🎄 We walked around the ring for fifteen minutes, and his smile never left his face. A huge success — for rider and horse.

If you have a child struggling with emotional or behavioral issues and think that working with horses here on the farm might help, reach out. We're here to help! foxmoonfarm.org/fox-moon-farm-equine-learning/

There’s a moment we don’t get to plan for, when a horse makes a choice all on his own.

When one of our teens walked into the field last week, Toby left his hay and walked straight to her. No halter. No lead rope. She walked him all the way to the arena at liberty, side by side. Toby can be one of our more cautious horses, so this was a big deal.

Once inside, with a whole arena of grass to munch on, Toby stayed right next to her for the entire session. When we asked why she thought he liked her so much, she guessed “treats.” We pointed out that Toby gets plenty of treats from all of us, and he doesn’t follow us around like that.

She thought about it for a while. Then she said it herself: maybe it’s because she’s kind and funny.

That moment is what this work is all about. Building self-esteem takes courage, and she’s been doing the hard work of learning to see her own worth. It’s one thing to hear someone tell you you’re kind. It’s another to discover it for yourself, because a horse who could have been anywhere chose to stay by your side.

Horses don’t flatter. They don’t care about grades, looks or what anyone else thinks. They respond to who we really are. When a cautious horse decides you’re someone worth following, that’s proof you get to carry with you long after you leave the barn.

We are so proud of her. 💛
