Welcome to the pettenger Family farm

At Pettenger Family Farm, we’re building more than a place—we’re growing a legacy of love, strength, and second chances. Our dream is a sprawling sanctuary where rolling acres and quiet pastures cradle a purpose: to harness the healing power of horses for kids with autism, like my 9-year-old son, and to offer fertile ground for those rebuilding their lives through honest work. This land, with its wide-open spaces and ready-made stables, is a canvas for connection—a refuge where nature soothes, labor redeems, and community thrives. I’m Stephen Pettenger, 69, and I believe family isn’t just your first or second—it’s every soul you choose to lift up. asing my son later in life taught me that giving never stops; it ripples forward, generation after generation. This farm will pay that forward, not just for us, but for countless others—proving that older hearts can plant new roots, that at any age is a gift that keeps giving, and that every family deserves a chance to grow strong. We’re chasing a timeless vision: American Strong Family Farms rising again, where hard work and big hearts reclaim the land. With this space—its vast fields for crops, its arenas for therapy, its room for hope—we’ll show it’s possible. But we can’t do it alone. It’ll take millions from those who believe in family, in redemption, in a future where no one’s left behind. Join us at Pettenger.com to turn this dream into acres of reality.”
