In our very first episode, we invite you onto our farm and into the heart of why this podcast exists. We share our story and explore how animal-assisted interventions support healing, connection, and growth. You’ll learn what AAI really looks like beyond simple interaction, why it matters, and how it shows up in everyday life here at Cooper Ridge Farm. We’ll also give you a glimpse of what’s ahead this season—honest conversations, real stories, and insights of just how powerful the human-animal bond really is.
