About this episode

Dixie interviews Cora Moore about the healing impact of goats at Faeryland Farms.

Dixie sits down with Cora Moore of Faeryland Farms, a Tennessee sanctuary where rescued goats become partners in wellness, education, and community healing. Cora shares how her background in psychology and her deep connection to nature shaped a program that brings goats into classrooms, assisted‑living homes, universities, and community events — helping people slow down, breathe, and reconnect. Listeners will learn how Ginger Snaps became the first certified therapy goat in the U.S., why goat‑assisted wellness is rooted in consent and co‑regulation, and how Faeryland Farms is building a national certification program to support therapy goats everywhere. With 50 rescued animals, a National Wildlife Federation–certified habitat, and a mission centered on kindness, grounding, and joy, Faeryland Farms shows how “the sweetest little heathens” can change lives.
