FUN!!! This is the best way to describe Duke Petting Farm. Pony parties, unicorns, petting farm Did you know that Duke Farm is a self-funded local Community farm running solely on volunteers and outreach programs? For seven years we have supported the community and our local Veterans and their families by opening our hearts and our farm. The petting farm and pony party revenue sustains the farm so
that we can continue our mission. Some of the programs we will offer in 2022 are:
• Community Volunteer opportunities
• A youth leadership and work to ride program for local teens.
• Children’s educational programs using ponies (Mini Mondays!)
• Leadership training using Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).
• We will continue to offer garden boxes for local veteran’s and families
• We are also one of two farms that provide the horses for the children’s Hippotherapy program offered by Mercy Health.
• Field trips: a complete educational farm experience in animal husbandry.
• Onsite birthday parties
Your community donations of $5 per guest to visit our petting farm allows us to feed and care for the animals as well as offering an affordable outing for families. We pride ourselves on being a local “therapy Farm” catering to the Community, our local Veterans, and their families. We will continue to provide workshops, children’s programs, Veteran and community dinners, garden spaces, open riding programs, and volunteer opportunities. If you would like to volunteer or donate to the farm you can visit www.dukefarmonline.com or call 419-410-7193 We grow HOPE at the farm.
