Established as a charitable 501(c)3 organization in 2010, Happy's Farm, Inc. provides academic assistance, therapeutic riding for exceptional children and veterans, and childcare services to all children living in Rowan County, in an “old time western town" setting that incorporates rescue farm animals. The farm serves as a community outreach center for young adults with functional and access needs from area high schools and colleges and also serves as a unique recreational and educational meeting venue for local youth and adult civic and community organizations. The farm's mission is to provide engaging opportunities for all ages, child care in a safe and positive environment, and recreational, therapeutic, cultural, and educational experiences which promote each participant's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
