Wellness & Healthcare

 The Angel K Love Project is a farm based non-profit 501(C)3 organization whose mission is to provide love and healing to kids in need of holistic models of therapy. Our vision includes providing a variety of natural healing & wellness modalities such as equine therapy, farm animal assisted therapy, horticulture therapy, nature therapy, art therapy, Yoga, Mindfulness, and more. "Kids in need" include kids who are in need of getting outside and interacting with animals, plants, and nature to enhance their well-being, mental health, mood, and increase their physical activity.

 Our goals involve inclusivity and collaboration with individuals and community-based resources across WNC to create sustainable solutions and loving support systems that positively impact kids from the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈, BIPOC, minority, low-income, kids in Foster Care, and kids struggling with special needs and/or mental health.

​We value, respect and celebrate diversity. We strive to make a safe space for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, race, ethnicities, immigration status, country of origin, religious beliefs, education, class, age, size, as well as mental and physical abilities.
