Our Farm

Tucked away in Virginia’s backcountry, just 45 minutes from Richmond, our 60-acre farm offers a peaceful woodland retreat. Surrounded by nature, you can wander through the woods, sit on a boulder, sit by the lake, or relax beneath a tree. Escape the busy world and nurture your spirit in this tranquil haven.

With plenty of paths and quiet nooks, it’s a place for exploration, reflection, and adventure. Here, nature invites us to recharge, renew, and reconnect with our innate wisdom and compassion. Whether visiting for a farm day, working in the garden, or participating in an equine session, take time to stroll the lake, feed the goats, or simply listen to the birds.

Your soul will thank you.

Meet our Critters

 

We hope you like animals because our farm is home to 4 horses, 9 goats, 20 chickens, 3 dogs, 2 cats and of course our pig Sassy. And they all require lots of hay, food and LOVE! That’s where you come in. Join us for a Farm Day Trip or just to help volunteer and learn the inner workings of running a 60 acre-farm. There is always work to be done and we’d love to have you!

Join us in our Community Garden and help with the planting, weeding or harvesting to help make our famous homemade tomato sauce.

If you love horses as much as we do, then come on down to the horse barn and help us groom or feed the horses.

Our Gardens

 

We started gardening out of a concern for the environment wanting to be as self-sustainable as possible. Gardening is challenging, urgent, surprising, tiring, beautiful, fulfilling, and never-ending. Despite all the challenges, picture rows of sweet carrots, tomatoes dripping off the vine, flower beds in bloom and buzzing with bees. It’s truly amazing! There is always something to do, so come and join us in the Community Garden. Plant some vegetables, harvest some berries for jam or help us can some tomatoes for marinara sauce.

Mama’s Stage

 

Mama’s Stage holds a special place in the hearts of Maria and Cindy. After all, it’s named after our mothers. Its’ also become the heart and soul of Fox Moon Farm. Part music stage, part outdoor living room and part classroom, it’s a rockin’ space to hang out in (with disco lights to boot). We often meet at Mama’s Stage first thing in the morning and spend many a rainy afternoon hanging out on the stage. For those who have spent nights enjoying the stars, its a sight to be seen!

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.
