Laughing Buck Farm LLC's mission is to inspire a love for farming, horsemanship, gardening, and nature through the rhythms of the seasons and hands-on learning and play-- all in an outdoor, farm setting. We have been getting kids outside and connecting with nature and farm life since 2013!
In 2018, Laughing Buck Farm established a 501c3 non-profit public charity, Friends of Laughing Buck Farm, to develop and support educational and therapeutic horse and farm experiences for EVERYONE. We are committed to developing programs that are fully accessible regardless of economic class, culture, gender, sexual identity or set of abilities. We celebrate inclusion and diversity and want you to know you are welcome here! Head on over to our nonprofit website to find out more about scholarships, volunteering, and getting involved in our beautiful community.
