What kind of Farm is Freedom Farm?
It’s not actually a working farm. It’s more of a hobby farm where we have animals that we like to treat as pets. The setting very farm-like in order to provide our families with a rustic but beautiful environment where they can take care of farm animals and enjoy a large garden. We do expect to have equine therapy at some point.
