Once upon a time, three women acted on a dream to preserve a historic, therapeutic sanctuary where children and families could come together in nature, among the animals, to reconnect with what naturally restores our well-being: connection to one another and to nature.

We believe that children need to move their bodies more, volunteer and serve others, and discover the joy and satisfaction of working hard.   When children are connected to one another in productive ways to achieve goals, they have meaning and purpose, and they develop abilities that will help them live productively and healthily.

We believe in the power of animals and nature to help reduce anxiety. Children learn from the animals about self-care, self-regulation and about how anxiety has a place in the natural world as a life-saving tool, NOT as a way of life or a permanent condition.

It is our honor and privilege to bring together our neighbors, teachers, therapists, coaches, mentors and such to help create opportunities to connect, heal and grow on the farm.

Warm Springs Care Farm is run by volunteers, mostly neighbors and concerned citizens.
