HAPPI Farm's mission is to promote positive development and life enrichment, providing experiential human-animal interactive bonding. Horse and Petting Pal Interaction, Inc.

We reach out to many groups of people including disadvantaged children, youths at risk, seniors and military veterans. Many research studies have shown this interaction to be emotionally and physically beneficial. Studies have also concluded it is an effective alternative education. HAPPI Farm operates strictly on the goodwill of the public.
