About Aura Farm
A little corner of happiness
A small family farm with a big heart (and an even bigger hay bill), tucked into the backcountry of Greenwich on a historic European-style country estate.
It was lovingly acquired by Dr. Nicolette Bird Mehta, a veterinarian who looked at all that beautiful land and thought, "You know what this needs? More animals."
Animals have a way of making the world feel a little softer. A horse doesn't care about your spelling test. A pig doesn't mind if you're shy. Watching her children with the animals made one thing clear: this kind of joy is far too good to keep to ourselves — so we're opening our gates to help children find comfort, confidence and calm.
You could call us a glorified petting zoo. Honestly? We'll take it.
