WindReach Farm is the result of Sandy Mitchell’s life long interest in working outside on the land. Born with cerebral palsy, Sandy has been able to integrate his personal passion with providing a similar opportunity for other persons with disabilities. His own past experience as a young man working on a farm in Scotland, and then in a farming community for persons with Down's Syndrome, helped him realize that one day he wanted to help persons with disabiliteis lead a more productive life. Acquiring the property in 1979, Sandy worked the land, built the buildings, and welcomed visitors from all over the province. It was in 1989 that the Farm became the charity it is today. WindReach continues to be enjoyed by thousands of visitors every year – people of all ages and all abilities. It is a remarkable story, but for those who know Sandy Mitchell, it is a fitting story of a generous and compassionate person.
