Farm in the Forest
The Farm in the Forest provides opportunities for participants to build skills related to all aspects of food production, better understand agricultural cycles, and simply enjoy engaging with nature.
This special multi-acre space features a food production garden, greenhouse, compost station and wooded trails. Like the entire Pony Power campus, the Farm in the Forest is fully-accessible to welcome people of all physical abilities.
We grow 65 varieties of vegetables, flowers and herbs, with a focus on regenerative farming practices.
We are proud to donate 1,000 pounds of harvested produce to local organizations each year, including Paterson’s Oasis - A Haven for Women and Children, Table to Table and Ramapo College’s We Care program.
A further 1,000 pounds is made available to Pony Power participant families and caregivers, volunteers and staff through an on-site farm stand.
Three agricultural structures were recently added to the Farm in the Forest.
Our Harvest Station promotes life and vocational skills, and has expanded learning opportunities related to many aspects of agricultural production.
The pavilion offers participants a comfortable space to gather, eat and rest. It also serves as another sheltered program space.
A run-in provides horses living in our retirement paddock with optional shelter.
