Dragonfly Haven Origin

What is Dragonfly Haven Therapeutic Farm?

Dragonfly Haven is a peaceful, all-natural farm designed to be a sanctuary for people seeking comfort and healing through interaction with animals. It features a variety of friendly animals that visitors can touch, feed, cuddle, and bond with. The farm’s atmosphere supports personal growth and change in a supportive setting.

Origin of the Name

The name "Dragonfly Haven" comes from the dragonfly’s symbolism in the Mi’kmaq culture, representing emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual change. The farm reflects this meaning by being a haven for transformation and healing.

Dragonfly Haven is a safe, nurturing place where individuals can connect with animals and nature in a non-judgmental environment. Our mission is to help one person at a time heal from stress, mental illness, PTSD, or any personal struggles through the therapeutic power of animals and nature.

Our vision is to create a welcoming sanctuary where people from all backgrounds can experience healing and personal transformation through meaningful connections with animals and nature, fostering a community that values compassion, respect, and cultural awareness.
