"The most tragic occurence that can happen in our lives is to lose a child, relative, or friend to suicide. This leaves us with a lifetime of wondering what we could have done to save this precious life. The Jim Marshall Farms Foundation was established to provide people suffering from depression with a refuge from their troubles and a place where you are greeted with a friendly smile, a kind word, and the unconditional love that animals provide."

Spring has finally arrived.

Our schedule for our summer 2009 speakers is available.

The Jim Marshall Farms Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit dedicated to helping those with depressive illness.

We do this through various activities and events such as our monthly lecture series and our "Walk and Talk" program. We believe that nature and especially animals are helpful to people facing a variety of challenges.

The Jim Marshall Farms Foundation, Inc is located at 1978 New Boston Road in Chittenango, New York. Our activities occur on a working horse farm, which has been adapted to be accessible to those with mobility impairments.
