Visit the Farm

We’re always honored when people want to experience the heart of Davis Dewberry Farm and meet the incredible horses and individuals whose lives are being transformed here. However, because our work involves therapeutic programs and participants protected under HIPAA privacy regulations, the farm is not open to the public as a walk-in facility.

To maintain the privacy, safety, and comfort of our clients and animals, all visits must be scheduled in advance. We proudly offer volunteer experiences, educational visits, guided tours, and service-learning opportunities, each carefully structured to align with our privacy standards and animal-welfare protocols.

Safety First

Volunteer Experiences – Help with farm chores, animal care, or community projects.

To ensure compliance with HIPAA and farm safety guidelines, all visitors are required to complete pre-screening paperwork prior to approval. This includes a liability waiver, confidentiality acknowledgment, and visitor conduct agreement.
