We also welcome anyone who needs community service hours.
Hello and welcome! My name is Stephanie, and alongside my husband, Jesse, our children Jesse, Xoe, Conor, Xander and Xander’s fiancé Marisa we are thrilled to share our journey with you as we open the doors to our animal-assisted autism sensory farm, nature learning center and animal rescue.
As parents of four amazing children on the autism spectrum, we understand firsthand the challenges and joys that come with this journey. For years, we found ourselves on waitlists, eager for hippotherapy, deeply aware of the incredible therapeutic power that animals—especially horses—can offer. After years of waiting, we decided to take a leap of faith and create our own sanctuary, a place where our kids and others like them could experience the unconditional love and healing that animals provide.
Our farm is not just a dream; it’s a safe haven where children can connect with nature and animals in a nurturing environment. We’ve worked tirelessly to create a space where families can come together to learn, grow, and thrive..
As a Certified Nursing Assistant with a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and experience as a substitute special education para-professional, I am passionate about providing meaningful, hands-on experiences that foster communication, social skills, and emotional well-being. Jesse and I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to shine and discover their potential in a supportive community.
We invite you to join us on this beautiful journey. Whether you’re seeking calm, connection, or simply a place to enjoy nature, our doors are always open. Together, we can create lasting memories, celebrate victories, and embrace the joys of our children’s unique journeys.
Thank you for visiting our website! We are excited to welcome you to our farm and look forward to creating a positive impact in the lives of many families.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Stephanie & Jesse
