Mission Statement
Company Goals
Our mission is to enable all individuals to live healthy, independent lives, enhancing physical, emotional and social well-being to improve peoples’ life chances, and offer opportunities for the wider community to reconnect, become more resilient, with a ripple effect of raised aspirations across generations.
We can offer mobile and static animal assisted interventions.
We work in a collaborative way, and are dedicated to promoting therapeutic interaction between people, animals and the natural environment. Our core values are:
- Creating opportunities for excluded and vulnerable people in our rural community to engage in and celebrate our cultural assets
- Supporting local Health and Wellbeing initiatives to combat loneliness and isolation.
- Supporting coordinated community action in economically marginalised and isolated communities, driving social change through asset-based community development
- Person centered support to maximise an individuals potential
- local training and opportunities to build and develop communities
We use our farm to provide health, social and wellbeing services for vulnerable people including adults with disabilities, mental health issues and those experiencing isolation

Community Farms
There is a long history of nature being used as a therapeutic tool and our services are recognising and embracing the role of nature in recovery for everyone. Our farms support resilience and recovery through: meeting people, improving self esteem, and confidence, controlling emotions and improving motivation and improving physical fitness. We provide a number of opportunities related to nature and farming in the outdoors in small, supportive groups or on a one to one basis.
You will have the opportunity to learn and use a range of practical skills including: hedge laying, making edible gardens, growing vegetables, wildflower sowing, feeding the birds and caring for a mixture of habitats on the farm. Along with horticulture therapy we also combine nature-based mindfulness, arts, and seasonal celebrations.
