5 Years of Growth, 5 Years of Heart: Join us for our Spring Open House! 🌿🎂

Big things have been happening at the farm! This year marks the 5th Anniversary of Transition Acres, and we want to celebrate this journey with the community that made it possible.

Over the last five years, we’ve grown in ways we never imagined—most notably our recent transition from a for-profit entity to a Non-Profit Organization. This shift allows us to focus even more deeply on our mission: providing a sanctuary for healing, learning, and connection for everyone in our community.

Come see how far we’ve come!

📅 When: May 31
🕒 Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Where: Transition Acres

What’s in store:
🐴 Meet the Herd: Get some face time with the horses (and keep an eye on your hat around Moose!).
👋 Meet the Team: Connect with our staff, volunteers, and our board members who are helping lead us into this new non-profit chapter.
🌱 Learn & Explore: Discover our 2026 programs, from summer camps to wellness workshops.
🍪 Celebrate with us: Enjoy refreshments and anniversary treats as we toast to five years of milestones.

As a non-profit, your support means more than ever. Come see what we’ve built together and learn how you can be a part of our future!

We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm. 💚✨

Rory: 1 | Blanket: 0 🏆

Rory definitely has a talent for keeping us on our toes... and maybe giving us a few gray hairs in the process! 😅

When she isn’t busy sticking her tongue out at the crew or showing off her latest trick (she’s officially a fist-bumping pro 👊), she’s finding "creative" ways to keep us in stroke mode. Her current hobby? Absolute blanket destruction. 👕❌

Life with Rory is never boring, usually messy, and always full of personality. We’d ask her to apologize, but she’d probably just stick her tongue out again. 👅🐎
