Our nature and farm based therapy program is a unique approach to healing that harnesses the therapeutic benefits of nature and meaningful interactions with animals and plants. Set in a peaceful and welcoming farm environment, this form of therapy provides clients with the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities like tending to gardens, caring for animals, and cultivating herbs.
Farms plays a central role in fostering physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Interacting with animals encourages mindfulness and builds trust, while planting, harvesting, and working with herbs promote relaxation, patience, and a sense of accomplishment. This holistic approach connects individuals to the rhythms of nature, allowing them to build life skills, reduce stress, and find purpose.
Whether it’s the calm of feeding animals, the satisfaction of harvesting fresh produce, or simply enjoying the soothing surroundings, care farm therapy offers a safe space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.
Reconnect, restore, and heal—because sometimes, the best therapy begins on the farm.
Planting, tending to, and harvesting vegetables, herbs, and flowers. This hands-on activity encourages mindfulness, improves mood, and provides a sense of accomplishment.
Engaging with farm animals like chickens, goats, sheep, or horses. Activities include feeding, grooming, and simply spending time with animals to foster trust, reduce anxiety, and promote emotional well-being.
Exploring the sensory benefits of herbs and plants by touching, smelling, and learning about their uses in cooking, teas, and wellness practices. This promotes relaxation and an increased awareness of natural healing resources.
Opportunities for children, teens, adults and groups to volunteer on the farm enable the community to connect with nature and serve the non profit.
