From Field to Healing: Why Merry Moos Farm Needs Your Help

Like many people, I experienced a period of mental ill health when things in my life went wrong. I had lost my tenant farm and, with it, the outdoor space that had always grounded me. I had to work through that difficult period without the one thing I knew helped.

I coped by writing a book — and that lived experience became the foundation of Merry Moos Farm Project.

Merry Moos was created so others don’t have to face wellbeing challenges without access to nature, animals, and meaningful outdoor activity. We are developing a wellbeing care farm to support older adults, disabled adults, and the farming community people experiencing isolation or mental health difficulties.

We have been on a long journey to find the right farm — and we are so close.

While this amount won’t cover the full deposit, it will help meet essential early start-up costs so we are ready to move quickly once the farm is secured. Your support helps turn planning into action and brings us closer to opening a safe, supportive place for those who need it most.

Thank you for helping turn lived experience into lasting impact.
