There is not a single grocery store in King and Queen County. 🌱

For many families here, fresh vegetables mean a long drive and hard choices, and with grocery prices what they are, that pressure is felt every week. That’s why our Community Garden exists. Since 2023, it has grown into one of the heartbeats of Fox Moon Farm, putting thousands of pounds of free, organic produce each season on the tables of families who need it most.

But this garden grows more than food. The children, adults, and seniors in our Healing with Horses program, individuals with special needs and those healing from trauma, work right alongside us. Planting seeds, tending rows, and harvesting become real practice in patience, responsibility, and teamwork. And there is something deeply healing in knowing that what you grew is feeding a neighbor. 💚

Today we’re overjoyed to share that @Lowe’s is partnering with The Fox Moon Farm Project through the Lowe’s Community Impact Program, a five-year, $100 million national commitment to renovate and revitalize shared community spaces across the country.

On October 15th and 16th, Lowe’s red-vest volunteers will join us on the farm, donating their time, skills, and materials to help build out our garden for the seasons ahead. That means more rows planted, more families fed, and more participants discovering the dignity of growing something that helps someone else.

A special thank you to Maria Flint, the veteran and founder of our Community Garden, whose lifelong commitment to service made this partnership possible. And to everyone at Lowe’s: thank you for believing in our neighbors and our mission. We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm.

Stay tuned for build day photos! 📸

Not every farm adventure happens on horseback. Sometimes it starts with a manure wagon. 😄

One of our young friends steered the wagon right through the gate and into the donkey paddock. When it got stuck, he didn't give up. He backed it up, lined it up again and kept going. Then he grabbed a pitchfork and got to work, getting stronger with every scoop.

After chores came the fun part: climbing to the top of the hay bales in the barn, then crawling through the tunnels in the chicken pen on an egg hunt. (The hens were keeping their eggs to themselves that day!)

Real work, real play and real pride, all in one afternoon. That's farm life at its best.

Last week, one of our teens chose to ride Bunny. Their last ride together had been a bit of a challenge, but this time was something special.

They brought Bunny in from the pasture, groomed her, tacked her and climbed on, all on their own. As they let the tension leave their own body, Bunny softened too, lowering her head and relaxing into the walk. That's the quiet magic of horses: they meet us right where we are.

Then we threw in a surprise. We asked them to help teach a lesson for one of our younger riders. They were nervous, and they said yes anyway. They cheered, encouraged, helped with grooming, gave a riding pattern and even took a turn on the lunge line.

The younger kids look up to this teen, and after last week we can see why. Growth looks a lot like courage. 💛
