Our Purpose & Heart

Our Mission

 Mini Mischief Ranch exists to foster meaningful connection through hands-on experiences with animals, nature, and community. We support individuals of all ages and abilities by offering therapeutic, educational, and joy-filled opportunities rooted in kindness, curiosity, and care. 

Our Vision

A world where every person — child or adult — can experience healing, growth, and joy through the simple magic of animals and outdoor discovery.

Core Values

 Safety – We create a secure and supportive environment for every guest.  

Connection – We nurture bonds between people, animals, and the natural world. 

 Stewardship – We care deeply for our land, our animals, and our community, acting with intention and heart. 

Therapy & Support Visits

Mini Mischief Ranch is a nonprofit care farm, and one of the ways we live out our mission is by offering animal-assisted support experiences for individuals and small groups who benefit from a calmer, more intentional visit.

These experiences are designed to support:

  • emotional regulation and stress relief 
  • social skills and confidence building 
  • sensory-friendly connection in nature 
  • supportive experiences for neurodivergent individuals and families 
  • encouragement through animal interaction and gentle structure

Scholarship Opportunities

We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the connection, confidence, and joy that comes from time with animals.

Through the support of our community and nonprofit programs, a limited number of scholarship-supported spots are available for select programs, including enrichment classes and field trips.

Scholarships are designed to support families who may need a little extra help accessing these experiences.
