Sponsor a Farm Animal

What would our programs be without our critters? Whether its playing with the baby goats, fetching chicken eggs, or feeding scraps to our pet pig Sassy, no session would be complete without a stop at the barn.

When you sponsor one of our farm critters, you help pay for grain, hay, vet visits, medications etc. on a monthly basis.

It’s amazing to watch the transformation in participants who come to the farm and spend time with our animals. Some are scared to even enter the pastures on their first visit, but just a couple of sessions later, you can watch as they confidently sit on a rock with a goat in their lap and a big smile on their face!

Our Farm Animal Sponsorship program offers three levels for contributions with a three-month commitment. When you sponsor one of our farm animals, you will receive a certificate with a picture of your sponsored animal, as well as an acknowledgement to be included on our website.

Your donations are tax deductible and you will receive a tax donation certificate which you can use when tax season comes. There is nothing like the feeling of knowing you are helping not only individuals in need of the healing power of animals, but also our animals themselves. We appreciate you and hope you will consider donating!

Meet our Amazing Farm Animals

As with many great farms, we have a flock of chickens. Our chickens offer eggs to support our mission to end food insecurity in King & Queen county and many of our clients enjoy egg collecting and taking their findings home. If you have the speed and skills, you may even be able to catch a chicken to teach younger children how to safely interact with different species of animals.

Many folks don’t realize how much work goes into chicken care! Please consider sponsoring our flock to help support the costs of feed.

All sponsorship levels receive a tax-deductible donation receipt and acknowledgement on our website. Sponsors are encouraged to visit their animal, and volunteers are always welcome.

We have a number of goats here at the farm and if you visit in the spring, you will get to meet the newborns. We will occasionally milk our female goats (goat cheese anyone?!), but our goats mostly offer affection, curiosity, and of course entertainment. The kids, both goat and human, run around the pasture jumping off rocks and bouncing around. For our older folks, our goats help teach our clients how to gently interact with animals, how to be brave trying new things, and provide plenty of laughs.

Please consider sponsoring our goats to help support the costs of feeding them, so they can continue to offer their teachable moments and silly antics.

Our pet pig Sassy is definitely the smartest animal on the farm. She is also the queen and a “drama queen” at that. She squeals and screams when any other animal even gets close to her- queens need their beauty sleep after all. When not eating, which is her favorite hobby, she loves to forage with the goats and chickens or you”ll find her slinking off and making her way down the road to hang out with the horses (who can blame her).

Please consider sponsoring Sassy so she can continue to rule her throne here at Fox Moon Farm.

95 degrees on the farm today — and it's a lot for everyone, horses included. 🌡️

Heat like this doesn't just slow us down, it's genuinely hard on our horses. They can't cool off the way we can, and their heavy coats hold onto heat. Add in the flies, which have been relentless this week, and it's a rough combination — the heat wears them down and the flies won't let them rest.

So this week, everyone has pitched in. Our kiddos in the program and our whole Fox Moon staff have been out there hosing down the horses, keeping them cool and comfortable and watching over them a little closer than usual. It's been a beautiful thing to see — the same kids who come to us for healing are the ones showing up to take care of the animals who help heal them.

When we're not out at the barn, we've been taking refuge in the community center — arts and crafts, building fairy houses, games, and just finding ways to stay cool together. Hot weather doesn't stop the connection and the growth happening here, it just moves it indoors for a bit.

Grateful for a team — two-legged and four-legged — that shows up for each other no matter what the thermometer says.

🌿 Farm Gatherings at Fox Moon Farm — A Safe Haven for Your Whole Family 🌿

So many families raising a child with special needs know this feeling: scanning a room before you walk in, watching for stares, bracing for the moment your child needs to move, or make noise, or just be themselves — and wondering if this place will be understanding, or one more space you have to manage instead of enjoy.

At Fox Moon Farm, that worry can rest.

Here, the way your child moves through the world isn't something to explain or apologize for. It's simply our norm. Children are free to run, to be loud, to stim, to laugh too big or need a quiet minute — and no one is watching to judge. Parents can finally exhale. Read a book by the lake. Cast a line and let the afternoon slow down. Watch your child play without watching everyone else watch your child.

This is what Farm Gatherings are for: a day, or a full weekend, where your family gets to just be — together, unguarded, at peace.

While you're here, meet our horses and donkeys, feed the goats and chickens, and hold one of our four brand-new baby goats. Fish, boat, or swim on the lake. Hike our woods, try our new ropes course, or grab the mic for karaoke on the Mama Stage. Our cabin offers a full kitchen and shower for overnight stays, and our gazebo by the water is perfect for shade and a family barbecue.

Fox Moon Farm is a place where differences aren't tolerated — they're celebrated. Where your family can catch its breath.

"I am different, not less." — Temple Grandin

Temple Grandin has spent her life showing the world what autistic minds can do — and she's spent just as much time showing us what animals understand that words sometimes can't reach.

That's the heart of what we do at Fox Moon. Every child who steps onto our farm is met exactly as they are — not fixed, not changed, just seen. The horses don't need a child to make eye contact or find the right words. They just need honesty. And that's something every one of our kids already has.
