Love Grows Love Animal Assisted Learning

Love Grows Love Animal Assisted Learning Our Mission: On the farm, we promote partnering with God and creation for self-discovery in being all God has called us to be.

Our Core Values: Everyone has choices, deserves respect, and is loved by God. Located in Norwalk Ohio Love Grows Love is a non-profit organization that promotes partnering with God and creation for self-discovery in developing teens as leaders through strength-based learning. In a farm-style environment we offer purposeful, guided animal assisted learning and farm-activity experiences. Participants can increase self-awareness and life application in these concepts: respect, responsibility, relationship skills, empathy, boundaries, choices/outcomes while having fun learning about themselves, their strengths and others. Currently Love Grows Love has a variety of equine partners including full-sized horses, miniatures, and a darling mule as well as dogs and cats. In the future, we plan to add chickens and goats. There will be other on-the-farm experiences like learning to compost and gardening for experiential learning. We work to help Huron county be a thriving, positive place to live by building connections to faith, family, and community in a challenging and encouraging environment. Though new to the Norwalk area, Love Grows Love is partnering, connecting, and working with other organizations that have many years of experience working with animal assisted learning. Key partners and organizations include:
-Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch
-E3A Equine experiential education
-Ginny Telego, The Collaboration Partners Ashland Ohio

Love Grows Love is led by a board of directors: Donna Hammann, Denny Cutnaw, Mollie Riley, and Marilyn Kamm

Our Vision: Seeing people engaging in the adventure of life with God. Our Mission: On the farm, we promote partnering with God and creation for self discovery in being all God has called us to be. We are so thankful for the blessings of our supporters throughout the community. Many hours and donations have made Love Grows Love a reality.

This rainy day brought sunshine to the farm! We were grateful for the opportunity to host staff from Family & Children First Council of Huron County for a free Demo Day. These amazing ladies experienced Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) firsthand and learned more about the programs we offer to our community.

We appreciate their time, energy, and dedication to supporting children and families in our area - and we're thankful they chose to spend a portion of their day with us at Love Grows Love.

If your agency or organization is interested in learning more about our programs, we'd love to connect!
Reach out today to schedule your free demo and experience EAL for yourself.

Before attempting to cross the treacherous “rushing river full of alligators”, the team held a brief huddle to determine their course of action. Through the application of self-regulation techniques, they effectively regained control of their thinking brain and ensured the safe passage of their horse partner across the river. Horse-powered reading is so engaging!

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight

In this challenge, a leader connects with a horse and leads them blindfolded through an obstacle course.
• The verbal instructor can give directions — but cannot look forward.
• The assistant can see what’s ahead — but cannot speak.

Together, they must trust, listen, and move forward in unity.

Just like in life, we often can’t see where God is leading us. Yet, when we choose to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7), we discover that His path is more beautiful and purposeful than anything we could have imagined.

Reflection:
Where in your life are you being asked to trust God’s direction — even when you can’t see the way ahead?
How has following His lead brought you somewhere better than you planned?
