Resilience in Every Acre

ABOUT US

WeeShire Mains was born from a family's love and a vision for a more inclusive, sensory-friendly world.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Sarah!

More than just a farm, this is a dream born from a parent’s love, our family’s journey, and the profound impact we’ve witnessed nature and animals have on those we cherish most. My husband, Ken, and I were inspired to create this special place by our two wonderful boys, who were both diagnosed with autism.

Like many families navigating the complexities of neurodiversity, we spent countless hours traveling to doctors' appointments, therapy sessions, and specialists. Through those long days, we saw firsthand how much our sons benefited from calm environments and gentle, engaging activities.

The Turning Point

It was during this time that a thoughtful physical therapist suggested something truly transformative. She pointed out that many of the sensory activities she was doing with our boys could actually be done right here on our own land. She even visited our property to show us how, sharing her expertise and helping us plant the seed of what WeeShire Mains could become: a nurturing, sensory-friendly sanctuary close to home.

A Path to Healing

As we began to explore this vision, we noticed another miracle happening. Ken had suffered a brain injury in 2019 and a stroke in 2024, but when he spent time outdoors with our growing menagerie of animals, the change was remarkable. The peace he found in nature and those gentle interactions solidified our mission.

We realized that WeeShire Mains wasn't just for our family—it was meant to be a place of healing and connection for everyone.
