About
Sadie Grove Nurture Farm offers riding lessons, camps, boarding, and equine activities, along with child-directed free-range play. The program also includes intentionally directed therapeutic activities and art activities that take place alongside the farm and animal experience. The farm is named after Sadie, a Pekingese Poodle, in loving memory of Sadie Lady (2008–2022).
Melanie is a child clinical psychologist in private practice in Midtown, Sacramento, and she is part of the leadership team at Sadie Grove Nurture Farm. Taylor, who is also on the leadership team, is an accountant for the state pension fund and does executive coaching. The leadership team includes Melanie (she/her), Taylor (him/he), Bridget, and Gianna. The founders describe themselves as a progressive family of four who gave up a mid-century suburban Sacramento home to own and run this farm and non profit. They state that they have been at the farm for three years, slowly cultivating this dream into a reality. Their vision is to cultivate a space where animals can live out their forever days being loved and nurtured, children can roam, learn, explore, connect and find grounding, and all people can have access to farm life and equine activities. They describe a carefully crafted culture of hard work and giving back to the animals, and intentionally directed therapeutic, art, and equine activities. Melanie merges the farm and her clinical practice to bring the therapeutic benefits of the farm and animals to clients in need of emotional support.
