Our Story
KarmaFarm originally set out to offer a unique and laid-back retirement setting for the local equestrian community. Established in 2022, we have been constantly renovating our property to provide quaility care and safety of a boarding facility while allowing animals to live the most natural life we can provide. We are so excited to share the experience of what we believe to be the perfect blend of comfort meets nature at KarmaFarm.
As time and projects flew... and our animal family grew, we began to meet members of the local community and quickly came to understand the appreciation around us for what we were building. What started as a lifestyle we wanted to share with our children became a much bigger dream of sharing it with everyone around us.

KarmaKids Progam
Personalized small farm fun
Our unique KarmaKids program offers a loosely scheduled, mixed variety of farm fun, skills and knowledge based on your child's individual age, capabilities and interests- we come with a basic plan to make sure all time is used valuably- but happily work with the feeling of what your child may decide to gravitate further interest toward at any given moment to make the best memories possible. We offer a quiet and fun, low pressure atmosphere that gets the mind and body engaged at your child's own pace. There is always something new, exciting and hands on to learn about daily with the animals on the farm.
