Join us at Freedom Farm @ Maple Ridge Place for Evening Meditation at the Farm, a refreshing, gently guided meditative experience to look for your family’s story in God’s beautiful nature.
On this SPECIAL FAMILY NIGHT, explore the farm with your kids ... spend time with our horses, Hannah and Josie, take a stroll together on our walking path, follow the horses' path, visit the gardens or roam the wild areas, collect an artifact, journal, swing on the new swings, check out the new Treehouse on the hill, listen to the music of the waterfall. Your family can work on the community art piece together at the big farm table, create a unique piece of art to take home, plus horse coloring pages for the littles. We’ll re-gather at the end for a wrap-up time to share your experience (optional). (NOTE: We have big beautiful trees on the property and the yard has lovely cool shade in the evening.)
* Children must be under the supervision of their parent(s) or guardian at all times anywhere on the property. We will have additional supervision in the horse paddock for interaction with the horses and helpers/eyes elsewhere. :)
Who: Anyone, with a focus on family this evening*

DIRECTIONS TO THE FARM:
2484 W. River Rd.
We are at the corner of River Rd. and Keystone Rd., where the new roundabout is closest to Chum’s Corners. The entrance to our driveway is on the River Rd. side of the roundabout. You’ll see two black mailboxes with sunflowers attached at the driveway entrance, just before you would enter the roundabout.
Come up the S-curved paved driveway, go over the railroad tracks past the first driveway (neighbors), then dead ahead you'll see our white "Welcome" sign with two smaller signs hanging underneath it. The drive splits to the right and left.
Our "Freedom Farm" sign points to the LEFT. Take that LEFT gravel drive, head up toward the BIG RED BARN on the RIGHT. (**DON’T go to the left toward the tan barn with the green roof, again, that's our neighbor's property.**)
Look for the green & white Visitor Parking sign. Park anywhere in the parking lot and head down to the big yard by the horse barn attached to the front of the big red barn. Come down through the yard toward the horse barn where you'll find us waiting to share this unique experience with you. :)
