The recent loss of a fellow veteran has shown us, in the most painful way, how vital it is to care for our mental health.
Ataraxy Farm is more than just a farm — it’s a safe space. A place to breathe, to connect with animals, with nature, and with each other. For veterans, for families, for anyone who is struggling or just needs a moment of peace — you are welcome here.
We believe in breaking the stigma around mental health. We believe no one should ever feel alone. 💙
If you are having a hard day, know that you can come spend time here. Sometimes the quiet presence of a horse or the soft nuzzle of a goat can remind us that healing is possible.
🐴 You matter. Your story matters. Your life matters. 🐐

With such dry conditions we understand why this amazing event had to be canceled. We are going to miss being there. This is their biggest fundraiser of the year. Please if you are able to send them support they do amazing work and we really enjoy collaborating with them throughout the year.
Important Announcement – Cancellation of Our 2025 Open House, Aug 30, 2025
We have made the very difficult decision to cancel our annual Open House, scheduled for August 30, 2025.
This decision was made after careful consideration and in close consultation with the Department of Natural Resources. With the province restricting travel and activities in forested areas due to drought conditions and many wildfires burning across Nova Scotia, we believe this is the most responsible choice and is in alignment with Hope for Wildlife’s mission.
Also, the local access trails leading to our property are closed, creating additional road safety concerns. Given these factors, and many others, holding an event of this size would pose unacceptable risks to the community, wildlife, and their habitats that we work so hard to protect.
We know this announcement is disappointing, and we feel that disappointment right alongside you. Our Open House has become a cherished tradition for sharing our work. It’s a special opportunity to connect with our community, celebrate local wildlife, and thank you for your support. We will deeply miss welcoming the thousands of you who attend each year.
There are still many ways to contribute to our work, even if we can’t gather for one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. You can learn more at www.hopeforwildlife.net/support.
If you have questions or concerns, or if you had planned a special trip to attend, please contact us at openhouse@hopeforwildlife.net.
Thank you for your continued support and for standing with us through sunshine, rain, and now through drought as well.

We were so honored to have our farm be a part of Reese's incredible journey. People always ask us what impact does our farm have on our volunteers and guests. We see the impact and changes that happen when we let the animals do their thing.
We have built a special place that runs on volunteers and the support of donations and purchases in our farm shop. We would like to thank for choosing our farm and our volunteers.

Our farm started in 2013 to help my veteran husband deal with his service related PTSD. Since then we have grown the farm from 2 horses to 5 horses, 3 donkeys, 1 mule, and 30 goats. The initial purpose of our farm was for therapy, and it still is; however, after having to leave my career to care for my husband, I wanted to make sure our farm could keep operating in order to help others. Because we had dairy goats, I thought why not make soap. I did plenty of research into which oils would have the highest benefits for all areas of the body, including hair. And VOILA!
Our Products
Our products are made with unpasturized goats milk. All our goats are hand milked daily. Our Shampoo bars are made with Sunflower Oil (for hair repair & growth) and Shea Butter (for scalp problems & taming hair). Our Facial bars are made with Grapeseed Oil (for fine lines, breakouts, & tighten pores). Our Body bars are made with Avocado Oil (to protect, replenish, & repair skin). We do not use perfumes, colorants, paraffins, or chemicals in any of our products and we use minimal environmentally friendly packaging. Our bars are also great for traveling! We are always researching to expand our product line so be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram. You can purchase our products either online or at one of our awesome retail partners, just visit us at www.ataraxyfarm.com.
Giving Back
We built our farm for everyone. Our friendly animals are here for everyone to enjoy. Our visitors have included many injured veterans and members of the Eastern Shore Mental Health Association. If you would like to visit our farm, we only ask that you contact us first as our animals can become overwhelmed with too many visitors. Thank you
