Suicide was the second leading cause of death for children between the ages of 10-14 in 2020 (CDC) – a hard statistic to digest, but true. Those most vulnerable – those in the foster care system, victims of domestic violence or other hate crimes, are perhaps the most vulnerable. Please help us help the kids by donating to the Fox Moon Farm Project today.

🌿 A Day of Joy at Fox Moon Farm 🌿

There are days here at The Fox Moon Farm Project that remind us exactly why we do this work — and our recent visit from the Autism Society Central Virginia was one of them.

We were honored to welcome a wonderful group of families to the farm for an afternoon of connection, discovery, and a whole lot of laughter.

The day began with our horses and donkeys. Before any hellos, the children learned important safety lessons from Kylie — how to approach a horse, how to offer a gentle hand at feeding time, and how to read these big, kind animals. Then came the grooming! Our miniature donkey Nappy soaked up every bit of attention, and the children met Merlin, one of our oldest and sweetest rescues. (And yes — when Nappy decided it was the perfect moment to poop, our little farmhands jumped right in to help clean up. Real farm work, after all! 💩😄)

After a snack and some water back at the community center, we headed to the henhouse to spend time with our goats, chickens, and of course Sassy the pig. The children lit up gathering eggs and scattering feed for the hens.
And what's a farm day without a ride? Everyone took turns on the tractor and golf cart as we made our way down to the lake to hunt for turtles and frogs. 🐸
To the team at Autism Society Central Virginia — thank you for spending the day with us. Watching these children explore, care, and connect with our animals is the heart of everything we believe in: the healing power of nature, one gentle moment at a time.

We can't wait for our next adventure together. 🦊🌙 ... See MoreSee Less

What Does an Equine Assisted Farm Based Learning Session Look Like?

This right here is Desi, and he is WORKING. 💪

He's not playing pretend. He's not doing a worksheet. He is shoveling real compost that will feed real soil that will grow real food. And he knows it.

That sense of genuine, meaningful contribution? It's one of the most powerful things that happens at Fox Moon Farm.

So — what does a session actually look like here? Every session is one hour, one-on-one, and completely individualized. We start by checking in: how is your family member feeling today? What do they need?

From there, the session unfolds naturally. Some days that looks like: 🐴 Grooming and bonding with one of our horses 🫏 Feeding and caring for our mini donkeys 🐐 Learning responsibility through goat care 🐷 Visiting our pet pig, Sassy 🌱 Getting their hands in the soil in our garden 🌾 Farm chores that build strength, routine, and pride.

Every single activity is purposeful. Measuring feed teaches math and focus. Mucking the donkey pen supports gross motor skills and the satisfaction of completing something real. Earning a horse's trust teaches patience and self-regulation. Leading an animal builds communication and confidence.

Our clients leave each session having had real fun AND having practiced real life skills. 💚

Curious? We'd love to have you visit. Message us to schedule a free consultation!

What is Equine-Assisted Learning?

Look closely at this photo. Kenneth is drawing in the sand — completely focused, completely calm. And right there next to him? One of our mini donkeys, quietly curious, keeping him company.

That's equine-assisted learning in a nutshell. 🐴

You might have heard the term and wondered what it actually means. Here's the simple version: equine-assisted learning uses interactions with horses and donkeys to help people develop important life skills. And it doesn't always mean riding! A lot of the most powerful work happens exactly like this — just a child, an animal, and a moment of quiet connection.

At Fox Moon Farm, our clients might spend time grooming a horse, leading one through simple obstacles, or just sitting together in the pasture. What they're actually learning? Emotional regulation. Patience. Non-verbal communication. Genuine confidence.

Horses and donkeys are incredibly tuned in to our energy and emotions. They respond honestly and without judgment — giving real feedback in real time, in a way no textbook ever could.

For individuals with special needs who may struggle to feel understood or regulated in everyday settings, that kind of honest, gentle connection is genuinely life-changing.

No horse experience needed. Just an open heart. 💚
