AMITOLA CARE FARM - HEALING WITH ANIMALS

What is a Care Farm?

Welcome to Amitola Care Farm, a sanctuary where women and children can reconnect with nature, animals, and themselves in a safe environment. Our farm embraces a harmonious way of living with nature, providing a compassionate, connected, and creative space for all. Our animals are a mix of rescues and those chosen for their temperaments, all living natural lives and expressing their innate behaviors.

Care farming is a popular concept in Europe, with thousands of farms offering healing through participation in farm activities. In the United States, however, there are only a few. Our aim is to provide a safe haven for women and young people affected by trauma, with a special focus on abuse, grief, or loss. Here, they can participate, feel included, and accomplish meaningful tasks, all while being surrounded by nature.

Amitola Care Farm is a source of inspiration and empowerment for everyone. Join our family by following us on Facebook for updates on our latest developments. Let's work together to bring the care farming movement to the United States and make the world a better place. For more information on how you can join us, please email info@amitolacarefarm.com.

Animal Therapy

DONKEY THERAPY

Are you feeling low and in need of some comfort? Perhaps sadness, loneliness, stress, or fear have taken over. Remember, tough phases don't last forever. Our donkeys are here to offer you unconditional love and hugs. Spending time with them, meditating, brushing, and embracing them can provide reassurance, love, and fulfillment. By doing so, you will release oxytocin in your brain, which is also known as the "happy hormone". This means that after visiting Amitola, you will feel more peaceful in your heart. Let our donkeys help you feel more balanced and joyful.
