Our goal was to create organic food that was mineral rich and flavourful. However, as we slowly cleaned the property, planted our garden and purchased our animals, we realized that we wanted to create something more. At first, it was just temporarily fostering animals as they moved to their forever homes. However, we quickly saw that there were some animals that could not be rehomed due to physical or emotional issues – we decided we could provide a sanctuary for them as we restored them to health through natural methods. We found a combination of a natural diet; the herbs from our garden; Omega Alpha Pharmaceutical products and homeopathies were all that were required for even the sickest animal. To offset the cost of their upkeep, we began taking in boarders, training and offering lessons to both dog and horse owners. As Taylor developed her training and coaching style, she noticed that her horses were helping her clients rediscover an inner joy and strength. She began to explore the idea of Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL), and discovered her true joy. With a passion for helping others, in particular youth and those facing addiction, Taylor has partnered with her horses to help people heal and discover their inner strength. Since 2006, Silver Willow Farm has grown from being a budding organic farm to a place of healing and growth. We welcome you to join us on our journey as we work to heal mind, body and soul.
