That's the Dream Farm

02/24/2026

This week’s Testimony Tuesday features Hello Art And Soul 💛 During the warmer months, their adults with disabilities visit That’s the Dream Farm weekly to connect with nature, animals, and community. These moments are full of smiles, purpose, and so much heart! Here’s the testimony from Val Olson, Founder of Hello Art and Soul about their experiences at That’s the Dream:

“I had the privilege of bringing a group of cognitively challenged individuals to this farm, and what we experienced there was truly profound.
The farm’s mission—using the same relationship principles that guide healthy human connections to interact with horses—comes to life in the most natural and meaningful way. Through these gentle, intentional interactions, individuals are able to recognize their own relational responses and practice healthier, more trusting dynamics, all in a safe and supportive environment.
Watching our individuals connect with the horses was incredibly moving. There was a noticeable sense of calm that settled over them almost immediately. They were patient, open, and deeply accepting of the animals, and in return, the horses met them with the same quiet understanding. Barriers seemed to fall away. There was no pressure, no judgment—just connection.
This experience allowed our individuals to feel present, confident, and valued. The beauty of the setting, combined with the compassion and wisdom behind the farm’s work, created a space where true growth and healing could happen.
This farm is doing something very special. The impact they have—both on people and animals—is lasting, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity they gave our individuals to experience connection in such a meaningful and empowering way.”

Testimony Tuesday 🤍✨

We are SO excited to share today’s Testimony Tuesday with you! Today we’re featuring Bethany Barnett and her incredible experience working with us one-on-one through our New Wine package. Watching Bethany’s journey unfold has been such a gift, and we’re deeply honored to walk alongside individuals as they grow, heal, and step boldly into what God is doing in their lives. Here’s what Bethany had to share:

“Coaching with Dawn at That’s the Dream Farm was a deeply refreshing and clarifying experience for me. The pace and setting invited me to slow down, breathe, and truly listen—to myself and to what God may be inviting me into next. Through Dawn’s insightful questions, I was guided toward greater clarity around my calling and direction, as well as practical next steps forward. The equine-assisted learning added a powerful dimension, revealing relational patterns and pathways for connection in ways that felt both safe and illuminating. I left feeling grounded, encouraged, and more aligned with the direction I am meant to pursue!”

It’s Testimony Tuesday!✨ Today we’re excited to share another meaningful testimony from Down Home, who joined us for our Team Retreat package. Creating a space for rest, connection, and growth is at the heart of what we do, and hearing how their time at That’s the Dream Farm impacted their team is exactly why this place exists.
We’re so grateful for the opportunity to host them and can’t wait for you to hear their experience and testimony 🤍

"That’s the Dream Farm provided an exceptional setting for our Down Home staff retreat. Their team thoughtfully facilitated a day centered on connection, reflection, and renewal in a peaceful farm environment. The intentional programming, engaging team-building activities, and welcoming hospitality created a meaningful experience for our staff. We are grateful for the opportunity and left feeling refreshed, aligned, and inspired."
— Jenessa Fillipi, Founder & Executive Director, Down Home
