Volunteer

There are lots of opportunities to volunteer at Fox Moon Farm. We rely on volunteers to help us with almost all facets of our operation, from helping us manage our Day Trips for the children, to caring for the horses and the rest of the critters, helping us in the garden and maintaining the farm.

How Can Volunteers Help?

Day Trips

We are always looking for volunteers to help us with our Farm Day Trips. These activities can vary depending on the day and the activities we are offering. You may help oversee an activity like feeding the animals, or help a group of children in the garden. In other cases, we might need assistance in the kitchen making a snack or box lunches or help gather instruments or wood for our drumming sessions by the fire.

Maintaining the Farm

Running a 60-acre farm is no easy feat and we can use all of the help we can get. If you like to work outside with your hands, this can be very gratifying work. Help us mow, fix fences, muck the barn, fill holes etc.

Healing with Horses

Do you love horses and helping people? We are need of volunteers in the horse barn. We always need help caring for our horses, which includes grooming, feeding, keeping their water troughs clean, dragging the field and more. No experience necessary, but if you have experience with horses, even better 🙂

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the form below and we will get back in touch with you. Thank you!

🌟 A Milestone Day at the Farm! 🌟

Today was an incredibly special day for Matt, an 18-year-old who’s been part of our equine-assisted learning program for the past two years. 💙 As a nonverbal young man with autism, he has shown amazing growth through our unmounted activities—working with horses, tackling farm chores, and developing crucial life skills like following directions, strategic thinking, and enhancing his motor skills.

After all the hard work and dedication, today marked a major milestone: Matt’s very first therapeutic horseback ride! 🐴✨

We started with some brushing and tacking up Merlin, and then, with a little help, Matt was able to confidently mount our gentle giant. As he settled on Merlin’s back, a huge smile spread across his face. 😊🎉 It was so heartwarming to see him following commands, telling Merlin to walk on and even throwing us high-fives!

A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteer Amy, who guided Matt and supported him throughout this exciting journey. Together, we ventured into the arena for Matt's very first ride, and we couldn’t be prouder of him! 🙌💖

We can't wait for our next session together and to continue this amazing adventure with Matt. Keep shining, buddy! 🌈
