A gentle place for children to slow down

Glitter Hooves & Fairytails is a small farm built around a simple idea: children grow best when they feel safe. Our programs are trauma-informed and sensory-conscious, created for families, homeschoolers, neurodivergent children, and children impacted by foster care, kinship care, and adoption.

We are not therapy, and we don't replace clinical services. What we offer is unhurried time with gentle animals, room to move and explore, and quiet moments that help children build confidence and connection at their own pace. Read our story.

Farm experiences

Four-week mindful farm programs for ages 5–9, sensory-friendly mini sessions for ages 2–4, and private Farm Connection Visits by appointment. Every program is built around connection, calm, and confidence.

Meet the animals

Piper is playful and curious — she'll be the first to greet you at the gate. Petunia is calm and affectionate, perfect for soothing, unhurried visits. Every animal here has a personality all their own.
