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 challenges— including children, adults, and those with complex trauma—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.

Horses don't hide what they're feeling — ears back means something, a soft nicker means something else. For many autistic individuals who find human social cues confusing or exhausting to decode, an animal's honesty is a relief. What you see is what you get. That clarity builds a kind of trust that's hard to find anywhere else. ... See MoreSee Less

Horses dont hide what theyre feeling — ears back means something, a soft nicker means something else. For many autistic individuals who find human social cues confusing or exhausting to decode, an animals honesty is a relief. What you see is what you get. That clarity builds a kind of trust thats hard to find anywhere else.

There's a moment we don't get to plan for — the one where months of quiet, patient work suddenly click into something joyful.

Today, after grooming his horse, one of our young kiddo's headed down to the lake with his counselor for some fishing. He's tried before but had never caught one on his own. Fishing takes patience, and patience isn't easy for any kid — especially one who's working hard every day to understand his own big feelings and where they come from.

But that's exactly the work he does here. Caring for his horse. Caring for himself. Learning, session by session, that he can sit with discomfort and come out the other side.

Today, by the still water, that line finally pulled tight. And the smile on his face said everything patience, trust, and time on this farm can build. 🎣💚

This is why we do this work.

Book a stay at the Little Farmhouse, and we'll add something you won't find on a typical family getaway: a free 1-on-1 Equine-Assisted Life Skills session for your child or family member.

Here's how it works. You'll meet with one of our certified equine specialists, who'll start with a brief, no-pressure assessment to get to know your child. From there, it's just the two of them (with support close by) — your child and one of our gentle therapy horses or mini donkeys, learning together.

It looks simple. It isn't. Horses and donkeys read energy before they read words — which means your child has to learn to be calm, clear, and present to connect with them. That process is designed to help nurture:

Emotional regulation
Self-confidence
Reduced anxiety
Social and communication skills

For a lot of the kids and families we work with, this is the first time "practicing" a skill hasn't felt like practice at all.

This session is included, free, with your Little Farmhouse rental — our way of making sure your getaway isn't just restful, it's meaningful.
