🐷🐮🐔 Looking for a meaningful way to support Light Root Farm year-round?

This is a meaningful way to provide ongoing support for Light Root Farm while helping care for the animals that are at the heart of so much of our work.

When you adopt an animal, you’re supporting our mission to offer farm-based educational and therapeutic programs rooted in heart-centered, holistic agriculture. By engaging people of all ages in the life cycles of the farm and hands-on work with plants and animals, we cultivate skills, connection, healing, and resilience—for both people and the land.

Your adoption helps with the following and more:
🌱 Care for our animals and steward the land
🌱 Expand educational and mental health programs
🌱 Provide scholarships and increase accessibility
🌱 Hire and retain staff so we can serve more people
🌱 Create transformative farm-based experiences for youth, teens, and adults

As a special thank you, Gold-Level Adopters ($500+ annually or $50/month for 10 months) are invited to our first VIP Gathering on June 19th—a special evening on the farm to connect, meet the animals, and learn more about the impact of your support.

Join our community of animal adopters and help more people experience the connection, learning, and healing that happen here every day.

Spring flew by, and suddenly summer is here at Light Root Farm! 🌱☀️

This spring we welcomed back our adult Pathways participants, hosted Natural High’s teen group, and wrapped up our first ever session of our Teen Farmer Group.

Week after week, these teens showed up ready to learn, work, and connect—rain or shine. They hatched chicks, grew and harvested greens, worked with draft horses, cared for calves, learned to milk cows by hand, and cooked meals with food from the farm.

More importantly, they found a place to slow down, step away from the pressures of school, get their hands in the soil, and experience the grounding rhythm of farm life. Many shared that Wednesdays became their favorite day of the week.

A farm teaches in ways that can’t always be measured. Through caring for animals, growing food, and working together, these teens experienced firsthand how connection, responsibility, and healing can grow alongside the crops.

We’re so grateful for this amazing group and can’t wait to welcome our next Teen Farmer Group this fall. 💚

Piglets & Pancakes Spring Fundraiser 2026 🐷🥞🌱

What an incredible day on the farm!

We are feeling so grateful after welcoming so many of you to our Piglets & Pancakes Spring Fundraiser. Because of your generosity, volunteer support, attendance, and donations, we were able to raise $13,000 toward the $27,000 needed to launch our new Adult Mental Health Garden program this season.

This farm continues to grow into so much more than a place of food production. It has become a space where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, work with their hands, and find grounding through connection with soil, plants, animals, and community.

One of the most meaningful reflections from the day came from Cameron, who shared that just as healthy soil is the foundation for everything we grow on the farm, the farm itself has become the foundation for our mental health programs. A healing space where connection, groundedness, ease, and peace can take root in people.

We truly could not do this work without your support. Thank you for believing in what we are building together.

There is still time to help us reach our goal for this season through a general donation or by joining our new Adopt an Animal program 🐮🐷🐴🐓 LINK in bio

This spring storm is bringing the moisture we’ve been hoping for—nourishing the land, the crops, and all the life that depends on it 🌧️

As we head into a full and joyful weekend, we’re incredibly grateful to be hosting a SOLD OUT Piglets & Pancakes Spring Fundraiser this Saturday 🐷🥞
The support from this community continues to make our work possible.

If you aren’t able to join us in person, there is still a meaningful way to be part of what’s growing here 💛

Adopting a farm animal is a meaningful way to support the daily life of the farm while staying connected to the animals who make this work possible. Each animal plays a real role here—from cultivating fields to supporting mental health and education programs—and your adoption helps care for them while sustaining the programs they power.

By participating, you’re directly supporting the launch of our Adult Mental Health Programs and helping us continue to grow this work in a deeply impactful way.

✨ We’ll be adding a link in our bio with animal bios and details on how to participate!

In the wee hours of the morning last Friday, our beloved Nasturtium welcomed a little bull calf into the world — Acorn 🌰🤎
This summer, Acorn will join our heifer calf Aspen and Sticks’ calf (due mid-May) as part of our summer camp program, and we already know these little ones are going to make a big impact.
There is something incredibly special about the relationship that forms between children and calves. They truly learn alongside each other. The calves bond with humans, learn to wear a halter, be led, and build trust with gentle guidance. For the kids, the calves are small and approachable, creating opportunities for connection, confidence, patience, and pride as they learn to work together.
Watching both the children and calves grow over the summer is one of the sweetest parts of farm life. Welcome to the herd, Acorn 💛🐄

Winnie is a beautiful guernsey and jersey mixed cow, and one of our oldest cows on the farm. She gave birth to a big healthy Bull Calf this week, and we are excited to have her coming back into the dairy barn and making the best golden creamy milk!
