Our Initiatives

Explore our ongoing projects and initiatives

At Eden Farm, our mission is to create a space where animals, land, and people thrive together in balance. Our sanctuary is home to rescued horses, who find healing and freedom through a paddock paradise system that encourages natural movement, social bonds, and instinctive foraging. But their well-being is inseparable from the health of the land itself.

That’s why we are cultivating a permaculture food forest—a diverse, regenerative ecosystem that nourishes both animals and people. This living landscape restores soil health, attracts vital pollinators, conserves water, and produces a rich abundance of edible and medicinal plants. Our horses play an essential role, fertilizing the land, shaping the terrain, and maintaining ecological balance.

By working in harmony with nature rather than against it, we are building a model of sustainability—one that not only provides a sanctuary for those in need but also regenerates the earth for future generations.

Alternative Therapies

Healing Methods

We embrace alternative therapies such as equine massage, acupuncture, and herbal treatments to address physical and emotional issues in our horses. These natural approaches complement traditional veterinary care for comprehensive well-being.

Permaculture in Action

By working with nature rather than against it, we aim to cultivate a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem. Our permaculture approach focuses on regenerating the land, improving biodiversity, and creating a balanced environment where plants, animals, and people support one another.

Paddock Paradise Tracks

Our track system is a work in progress, designed to encourage natural movement and promote the well-being of our horses. By mimicking wild grazing patterns, it helps regenerate the land, prevent over-compaction, and blend seamlessly with our evolving permaculture design. The end goal is not just a functional space but a thriving, beautiful landscape that supports both animals and nature.

The Food Forest

More than a garden, our food forest is a living ecosystem, designed to provide nourishment for both humans and animals. With layers of edible and medicinal plants, it restores soil health, attracts pollinators, and offers a sustainable food source while working in harmony with our horses and the surrounding landscape.
