Our Story
Holistic Ranch is a return to the land—a life well-lived in harmony with nature and its elements. Nestled in the Hudson Valley, our regenerative ranch is home to our two children, a herd of beloved rescue horses, and a growing family of farm animals. It is a haven for connection, rooted in tradition and surrounded by acres of lush, fertile land.
Our journey began in 2016, when Holistic Ranch was first established in Yucca Valley as a retreat from urban life. There, in the high desert of California, we created a sanctuary for rescue horses and a community hub as an organic grocer supporting local agriculture. After many fulfilling years in the West, we felt called to the East Coast—to deepen our roots and grow something even more enduring.
Now, in the Hudson Valley, we are cultivating a new dream: a working farmstead where every element supports the health of the whole. A holistic ecosystem in rhythm with the seasons, grounded in beauty, and where elegance roams free.
At the heart of Holistic Ranch is Nicole’s decade-long journey with horses—studying and facilitating natural and somatic horsemanship across the West Coast. Now brought East, her work is woven into the soul of the ranch, offering transformative horsemanship experiences that honor the intelligence of the horse and the wisdom of the body.
We look forward to sharing the magic of the farm —for seasonal events, group horsemanship sessions, and immersive workshops. We invite you to join us: to slow down, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to live in tune with the land, the animals, and yourself.
