Welcome to the Farm
Wild Oak Therapeutic Farm is about connection. A connectedness to nature and oneself.
I strongly believe the natural environment allows an individual to breathe and heal. The move towards therapy within a natural environment is based on scientific evidence.
Some may call it magical, and others call it a wild ride. Wild Oak Therapeutic Farm is a place where you are welcomed into the daily ongoings; more importantly, you are encouraged to slow down, breathe, and be present. Individuals get to participate in caring for the animals, the land and challenge themselves to do something they don't do every day.
Research shows that being IN nature positively affects a person's psychological wellbeing, regulating emotions and calming the nervous system.
For each person, the therapeutic experience will be different; it may look like sitting under the oak trees, walking the trails made by deer, interacting with the animals, planting gardens, using the natural elements to create your own world, or digging for worms.

We are a small farm and care deeply for our animals. Too many people at one time will stress the animals out.
We ask for generous donations. Keeping our animals in tip-top condition is costly. We ensure all our animals are healthy so that you can love them and get up close and personal.
Our animals free-range for most of the day and will be out and about. The goats are very friendly and have issues with personal space. Rabbits are taken out one at a time, and a Byers Farmer only opens cages.
Wear comfortable clothing that can get dirty and sturdy shoes. An extra set of clothes just in case. Food in containers that are goat proof and don't have much packaging
Yes, we have both chicken and duck eggs for sale; fresh herbs. Then depending on time of the year different farm produce.
