ditional talk therapy. “We’ve found that the combination of nature, movement, and animal interactions puts things into perspective for many people,” Sarah said. Barry adds, “Everyone can benefit from a sense of accomplishment. Whether it’s planting a tree or overcoming a fear, those moments are impactful.” Sessions take place year-round, no matter the weather. “It’s all outside,” Sarah notes. “You have to be willing to get a little dirty and deal with whatever nature throws at you. But that’s part of the experience. There’s great research supporting the mental and physical benefits of getting your hands in the soil.” The Harrisons’ passion for their work is evident. “I’m so excited about this,” Sarah says. “We see results quickly, and in today’s world of immediacy, that’s important. People leave here feeling good both physically and mentally.” For Sarah, one of the most rewarding aspects of the farm’s work is how it brings families together in unexpected ways. “I can have a family session with a tough dad and his kids, and suddenly everyone’s equal because none of them have been around horses. It’s humbling and creates a unique bonding experience.” Although the therapy farm is a new venture, the Harrisons have been encouraged by the community’s response. “People have shown a real interest in what we’re doing,” Barry offers. “It’s also a way to ensure that people keep coming to the farm, especially as the landscape around us changes with development and industry.” Greenfields Therapy Farm operates on an evidence-based framework, ensuring that each session is grounded in science. “Everything we do here,” Sarah emphasizes, “Is based on research and best practices. This isn’t just about farm chores. It’s about creating real, measurable benefits for our clients.” In its first year, the farm has already made a significant impact, offering clients a chance to step away from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with nature, animals, and themselves. As Sarah puts it, “It’s not magic, but it is powerful.” Sarah also points out that therapy at Greenfields can be covered under your extended benefits plan.
