COWGIRL CITY RANCH
(A diverse agricultural education facility)
Cowgirlcityranch.org
Cowgirl City Ranch is an educational resource farm featuring Agra-tourism,
benefiting youth of all ages. We are situated on 15 acres just 15 minutes
South of Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Tyrone, GA.
We are dedicated to serving those with cognitive, physical, or emotional
disabilities with animal assisted therapy. Cowgirl City Ranch is home to a
variety of horses ranging in size from Shetland ponies to Belgians, and farm
animals, including goats, sheep, and pot belly pigs, ducks, chickens, rabbits,
cats and dogs. Our desire is to build the emotional and mental well-being of
all people; particularly those with special needs, through establishing an
atmosphere of respect and love in an agricultural environment.
During a visit to the farm, the guests learn all about the anatomy of the
horses, their diet, how to estimate their height and weigh, and their history.
They also have the opportunity to feed, touch, and pet the other farm
animals.
The Outreach Program provides the opportunity for children from the inner city and those from disadvantaged circumstances to develop self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-discipline. Riding lessons, summer camps, and field trips serve those with means to pay for services and those without paying ability. It is our goal that services will never be refused because of finances.
In addition to the equestrian activities, we are offering the youth and
community a complete farming experience. We are currently home to a 125
Apple tree orchard and 40 blueberry bushes; we are also preparing the
Grounds for our first All Natural crop of vegetables, as we aspire to become
Certified Organic Producers.
