OUR PROGRAMS
Educational Encounters & Animal-Assisted Therapy
We are passionate about ag education and supporting our community. Through partnerships with local organizations, we provide education on the agricultural industry and highlight the vital connection between humans and animals. Our animal-assisted therapy programs allow us to "bring the farm to you," fostering meaningful emotional connections and promoting well-being.
Here are some of the initiatives we’re proud to be part of and offer:
Ag Education : FarmHER
From school-age children to adults exploring small-scale farming, our educational programs, FarmHER, are designed to engage, inspire, and inform. Whether through hands-on experiences with our rescued animals or interactive presentations, each program is customized to meet the needs of your audience.
We’ve brought the farm to school career days, county-wide agricultural events, private clubs, community expos, and more—sharing the world of agriculture with as many people as possible.
Farm Strong, Fight Strong
Animals have a powerful ability to ease anxiety and boost serotonin—the brain’s natural “feel-good” chemical. Through our Farm Strong, Fight Strong animal-assisted therapy program, we bring that healing connection directly to you. Whether in a one-on-one setting or a supportive group environment, our therapy animals are here to offer comfort, companionship, and emotional support to those who need it most.
Read with a Sheep
Read with a Sheep is a unique and calming program designed to help children improve their reading confidence & skills while interacting with friendly sheep. Children read in a non-judgmental environment, fostering confidence and promotes a love for reading. Combined with the therapeutic benefits of animal interaction, this educational and fun atmosphere makes kids feel comfortable practicing their reading.
Let's Work Together!
