Our Organization

Our Mission

 

The Fox Moon Farm Project is a nonprofit dedicated to harnessing the healing power of nature and animals to nurture growth, learning, and healing. We believe in creating a compassionate space where individuals with emotional, physical, social, or learning challengesβ€” including children, adults, and those with complex traumaβ€”can find support and hope.

At the heart of our work is our Healing with Horses program, an experiential Equine Assisted Learning initiative that offers hands-on, farm-based activities. Through working with horses and farm animals in nature, participants develop vital life skills such as self-confidence, emotional regulation, anger management, and motor development. Our mission is to inspire transformation, foster resilience, and nurture well-being for all in a warm, caring community.

Our Core Values

 

1. We are committed to a positive environment in which everyone may experience a sense of belonging and worth. We honor relationships and take responsibility for fostering trust, respect, and good will. We share stories about our heritage, calling, and vulnerabilities. We desire to make a difference in the lives of others while making a living.

2. We act with uncompromising honesty and integrity in everything we do.

3. We support, trust, and empower employees to further the shared mission of The Fox Moon Farm Project. We are committed to developing the confidence of every employee’s individual talents and capabilities.

4. We are trustworthy. We are reliable, authentic, and loyal. We do what we say we will do. We have the courage to do the right thing. We welcome accountability and conduct our business with honesty and transparency.

5. We honor the intrinsic dignity, autonomy, and worth of each person. We treat others the way we would want to be treated. We are considerate of each other’s feelings, values, and points of view.

6. We choose to serve first, embracing our roles as servant leaders in our organization and our community. Service is a force that motivates every member of our organization. We are committed to serving those we lead as well as those we follow. In the spirit of service, we freely give of our time, energy, and resources.

7. We work as a team, achieving more collectively than individually. We are a cohesive unit setting aside our personal agendas and working toward our shared mission. We are committed to creating synergy by encouraging each other and working collaboratively.

Why Horses? The Mirror to Our Souls

Horses don't care about your diagnosis. They don't see your label.
They feel your energy.

Horses are prey animals who have survived for thousands of years by reading the emotional and energetic states of those around them β€” with extraordinary precision. They communicate almost entirely through body language. A shift in posture. A flick of an ear. A softening of the eye.

When you approach a horse, they already know how you're feeling β€” before you say a word.

This is why horses are so uniquely powerful in therapeutic settings:
🐴 They are a living biofeedback system. A horse will mirror your emotional state back to you in real time. Anxious? The horse reflects it. Calm and present? The horse responds in kind.
🐴 They are non-judgmental. Horses don't have opinions about your past, your behavior, or your struggles. They simply respond to who you are right now.
🐴 They require authentic communication. You can't fake it with a horse. They ask you to show up honestly β€” and in doing so, they help people access parts of themselves they didn't know were there.
🐴 Their heartbeat is contagious. Studies show that humans in close proximity to horses can actually entrain to the horse's slower, calmer heart rate β€” a biological gift for those struggling with anxiety or trauma.
A horse is not just an animal. They are a mirror to our souls.
That's why we do what we do at Fox Moon Farm. 🌿
