🐾💛 Our four legged family of little hooves is busy bringing joy. 💛🐾
Animal assisted therapy is one of the wonderful benefits of our new Therapeutic Care Farm, supporting autistic children and their families from all across Victoria 🌿
And let us tell you… our animals are stealing hearts ❤️
From our miniature Galloway cows 🐄 and adorable mini ponies 🐴, to our sheep and chatty chooks 🐑🐓 — they’re bringing so much joy, connection, and calm to our space.
✨ Animal assisted therapy helps:
• Build social skills
• Develop responsibility
• Reduce anxiety
• Support self-regulation
There’s something really special about the way we connect with animals 💫
And now… we’re growing our animal therapy family! 🐾
We’re dreaming of welcoming:
🐐 Miniature goats
🫏 Gentle little donkeys
🐰 Friendly therapy rabbits (because let’s be honest… the wild ones and kangaroos already think they run the place 😂🦘🦆)
To make this happen, we need a little help from our amazing community 💛
👉 Your donation will go towards:
• Bringing in new therapy animals
• Their care, training & wellbeing
If you’ve ever seen a child light up during an animal interaction, you’ll understand just how meaningful this is 🥹
💛 Donate if you can
💛 Share if you can’t — it truly helps!
Let’s keep growing something really special together 🐾 And thanks to a special donor, contributions will be matched dollar for dollar. Plus they're tax deductible.

🥔✨ Potato Harvest Day Success ✨🥔
A spud-tacular adventure recently in our new Harry & Clare Friday Foundation Garden at the Farm. Our awesome students and staff rolled up their sleeves, dug into the dirt, and discovered just how many potatoes were hiding beneath the soil. So many little (or not-so-little!) potatoes popped out. 😄
Gardening is such a calming, sensory-friendly way for our kids to learn, explore, and we all take pride in growing something from the ground up. And honestly… who doesn’t love the magic of finding buried treasure that you can actually cook for dinner? 🥔💛
A huge shoutout to Harry & Clare Friday Foundation for supporting us.
If anyone has fun potato recipes, drop them in the comments! 🌿👩‍🌾👨‍🌾
