At Orchard Therapeutic Farm, our animals are more than part of the scenery — they’re central to the calm, purposeful atmosphere that makes this place so special.

Time spent with animals and in nature can reduce stress, build confidence, and create a sense of connection that words alone can’t always achieve. From the gentle presence of our cows, pigs, and horses to the curiosity of our goats, donkeys, and peacocks, every encounter offers opportunities for learning, empathy, and joy. Our rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, geese, and even our reptiles each bring their own character and charm, helping young people develop responsibility, patience, and trust while experiencing the simple, grounding benefits of life alongside nature.
