Every table tells a story....

Our Apple Dumpling Dinner at The Farm in November of 2016 - The year the Amish Crew starting renovating The Barn.

A special thank you to Stacy Salvatori Photography for capturing this special memory.

As I sit here a few weeks before Thanksgiving, I was taken back to November of 2016 , a moment in time where our family sat around the table to share ideas and plans for the future of The Farm. I think about this time of year and how many people have memories around their tables, sometimes good and sometimes not, but they are memories that shape who we are and who we become. The table pictured here, is filled with history. My Mom and Grandmothers china, delicious apple dumplings from my Grandmother Meyers recipe dating back to the 1950’s and a beautiful table made by my Father-in-Law from the old 1800’s barn wood that we took down when we restored the barn. At that time, none of us knew what the future held, but from this moment forward my family walked beside me every step of the way with God directing my steps. He had planted a seed, that I could not stop thinking about, weddings in the barn.

They all sat beside me at this table and many others to listen to the thoughts and ideas that I had for The Farm. They never once doubted me, they never once challenged me, even when I may have gotten it wrong, they just kept coming along side of me and helping me every step of the way. I’m filled with more gratitude that I can even share for these amazing people that I get to call my family. Gratitude by definition is “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” I wish in my heart that each one of them knew just how thankful I am. My husband, my children, my in-laws and my Dad live here at The Farm and all play an active role in supporting this family business. I can truly say that its only through God’s love and grace that we care for each other so deeply. Even though most of the work that they do is behind the scenes, they are truly one one of the main reasons the Farm is such a special place.

So many people thought we were absolutely crazy, but somewhere deep in my heart I knew that God was paving the way to use this beautiful farm for His glory. So today, and everyday moving forward, I thank God for all that He has done here. From the people that He has brought here and the people that He has taken away, this small business has challenged my faith in more ways than I can even share, but I’m beyond grateful for each experience. We are humbled and grateful with each passing day. To be able to continue a piece of my families heritage with the bakery, while getting to serve couples on their Wedding Day, its truly a dream job come true. It warms my heart to think of all of the memories shared around the many tables here each and every weekend. To this day, people always ask me, “I’m not sure what it is, but this place is just so beautiful and peaceful.” I can only say it’s the Lord, “Then you will know that I, the Lord your God dwell in Zion…”. Joel 3:17. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we live on Zion Hill Rd.

We hope and pray that in the chaos of the world, that you find light in the darkness. That you spend time with those you love, sitting around the table and being present in the moment.

In our family, its ok to just have Apple Dumplings for dinner! So I would encourage you all, to start a new tradition this year and try some for dinner or order some amazing pies to create the sweet ending to your gatherings this holiday seaon. You will not be disappointed.

With much love and sincere gratitude,

Becca Lynde

“Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.

Serve the Lord with gladness;

Come before Him with joyful singing.

Know that the Lord Himself is God;

it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving

and His courts with praise.

Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

For the Lord is good;

His lovingkindness is everlasting

and His faithfulness to all generations.”

Psalm 100: 1-5

The Special Day when it all began….

A Mother’s Day Tribute

It seems so hard to believe that we are already in our 2022 Wedding Season. This year marks our 5 year Anniversary on May 20th, 2022. We hosted our first Wedding here at The Farm on Saturday, May 20th, 2017. We have been blessed beyond measure here at The Farm and I truly could have never dreamed or imagined all that the Farm is today. God has guided us, brought amazing people to work alongside of us, all the while sending so many great couples and their families to get married here. I will never forget when I met one of the most special Moms; her name was Nancy! She came to tour The Farm in November of 2016.

Nancy helping her daughter get ready on her Wedding day!

The Farm was a complete mess! There was mud everywhere and the Barn was almost done, but not quite. We had to walk up planks to get into the Barn, because it was a mud slide. I showed her our vision board of what we hoped The Farm would look like, and she said my daughter will love it, its absolutely perfect. I truly almost fell over and was in complete shock. She asked if May 20th, 2017 was open, I paused for a moment and said yes (… only to think, yikes, that is only 6 months away). I’m glad Nancy was confident in our abilities, but I knew how much we still had to do. By the grace of God, we were able to get everything finished. We worked tirelessly and sodded the entire area around the Barn and the back ceremony area the week before the wedding. The Farm was finally ready for our first big day!

My entire family dressed up that day. We watched in amazement how this family set everything up just perfectly. They completely transformed the Barn into everything that I knew it could be, but when I saw it for the first time I was awe-struck. Everything was just beautiful. As I watched everything come together, I was a little taken aback. I had no idea what the future would hold, but I knew at that moment, that God was going to do something special at this Farm!

Here we are, fast forward 5 years later, and to say we have the best job in the world is truly an understatement. God has surely provided. Over the past 5 years, we have witnessed so many amazing couples get married here at The Farm. With each passing year, we grow and learn more. We continuously look for ways to improve, ways to serve better and more abundantly. We praise God and pray more fervently than ever not only to thank Him for all that He has done, but to also give us wisdom to love just like He has done.

In closing, I have to say “thank you” to Nancy, one of the most special Moms I know! She was not only the first person to book a wedding here at the Farm, but her daughter’s wedding was also the first one we ever hosted. She embodied what it means to serve your daughter on her wedding day, and she continues to do so. She brings me a beautiful potted flower every year on their anniversary, and it means so much to me. I will never forget this sweet family and that special day.

Nolan & Kendra had such a beautiful day; my girls watched their wedding video about 500 times. We noticed several months later that little Charlie, who was only 4 at the time, was trying to catch the bouquet in the video. We all almost died. Our first order of business was to teach our girls that the weddings at the Farm were not for us, but for other families. Ha! Check out their video and pictures below from that glorious day!

Watch their special day here: Kendra & Nolans Beautiful Wedding Video

To all of the Moms out there: I hope you have the most amazing Mother’s Day. While I hope that you are being served on this special day, I have to say that being a Mom myself, I have more joy in my heart when serving others, than when being served. Maybe it’s just a Mom thing, or maybe I’m crazy, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve couples and their families almost every weekend here at The Farm!

Lastly, We are having a special Mother’s Day Flour Cart here at The Farm on Saturday, May 7th, 2022 from 10am to 1pm. Click on our pre-order menu below and check out all of the details below. We hope you will come and join us for Brunch at The Farm, as well as bring a little something special home for all of the special Mom’s in your life!

With much Love & Gratitude,
Becca Lynde

Reflecting on 2021

Image by Brittany Boote

As we close out this year and prepare for the next, our entire team is utterly struck with amazement and gratitude at everything we experienced and accomplished this past year. We are so blessed to be able to serve every one of our couples and their families, and it is truly a gift to bear witness to so many incredible memories created here at the Farm! We are simply so thankful for all of you who entrusted us with such a special day.

2021 was our biggest year yet - from the bakery to weddings to markets. We hosted 80 incredible couples for their weddings this year, along with their families and friends. The fact that we were able to celebrate with so many of you in the midst of so much uncertainty is a gift that we do not take lightly, and we cannot express how special it has been to find these moments of light and joy and peace and love that shine through it all.

The Bakery served about 120 couples on their wedding day throughout the course of the year, between weddings hosted on-site and desserts delivered to off-site venues. It’s such an honor to share our delicious desserts with you and your loved ones on such a special day!

While we could go on, we know that words fall short of expressing everything we feel when we reflect back on this year. So, we’d like to share a little recap video with you instead to highlight some of the amazing couples who held their wedding at the Farm Bakery and Events this year!

We’ll be spending the next couple of months resting and preparing to celebrate with you again in 2022. We know next year is going to be even more amazing, and we cannot wait to continue making memories with you all.

We wish you and your loved ones a very happy, healthy, and restful New Year!

Warmly,

the Farm Bakery and Events Team
