Every animal on the farm is a vital part of our vibrant community. From alpacas, to parrots, to horses and lizards, we have something for everyone! Each animal has a unique story and the capacity to teach us valuable lessons about life, love, relationships and wellness. Through connecting with and caring for our animals, we learn how to trust, respect and be accountable. We explore areas related to trust and vulnerability. We learn how to set limits and be a benevolent leader. Through all of this, we learn how to care for others and how to better care for ourselves.
