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.

As Seen In the News! (8News / Richmond Magazine Feature)

We are so grateful for the incredible coverage Fox Moon Farm has received from the media β€” because every story told is another family who might find us. πŸ’š

πŸ“Ί 8News (WRIC Richmond) featured our Healing with Horses program, highlighting how our King and Queen County farm teaches life skills to children with autism through equine-assisted learning. Watch the full segment on our website!

πŸ“° Richmond Magazine dove deep into the world of animal-assisted wellness in their "Wild Wellness" feature β€” including the science behind why horses have such a profound effect on the human nervous system.

πŸ“– The House and Home Magazine told our story beautifully in "Where Hooves and Hearts Meet."

πŸ“Ή Real Virginia featured us in a special segment on Care Farming β€” the growing movement of using farm environments as healing spaces.

Volunteer With Us!

Love horses? Love making a difference? We need YOU. πŸ™Œ

The Fox Moon Farm Project runs on the passion and dedication of our incredible volunteers β€” and right now, we're looking for people who want to give their time in a few key ways:

🌿 Horse Care β€” Help us groom, feed, and exercise our horses. Keep their water troughs clean, maintain the barn, and support the general care of our herd. Horse experience preferred!

🌱 Garden Help β€” Our community garden grows thousands of pounds of fresh produce each summer for local families in need. We need hands in the soil β€” planting, weeding, harvesting, and distributing.

🏑 Farm Maintenance β€” Running a 60-acre farm is a big job. If you love working outside, there's always mowing, fencing, mucking, and general upkeep to be done.

Volunteering at Fox Moon Farm is one of those rare opportunities where you leave feeling more filled up than when you arrived.

Come spend time with incredible animals, meaningful work, and a community that truly cares.

πŸ“² Visit buff.ly/eJRuw9r to fill out our volunteer form. We'd love to have you! πŸ’š
