Our Story
5K is a family-oriented business run by my husband and I and supported by our children. Our journey into this world really began years ago when I worked as a vet but continued and only really took off when our son Kaleb was diagnosed with autism. It was through his relationship with animals that he learned to speak, and connection with the outside brought him peace in an overstimulating world.
With our combined experiences and expertise 5K Therapy Farm strives to be a beacon in the community that prioritizes the health of all involved acting as a place of connection and healing.
