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

****All pies and dumplings can be made with Spelt Flour.  Spelt contains higher amounts of vitamins and minerals than wheat.  It is also easier to digest than wheat due to its high water solubility, which makes the nutrients available to the body with minimal digestive effort. Spelt does contain gluten, but the gluten strength is less than wheat and many people with wheat sensitivities may be able to tolerate spelt. ****

We use only Organic Whole Wheat White Pastry Flour or Natural Spelt Flour from Small Valley Milling in Halifax, PA for all of our baking.  

Happenings on The Farm

Our New Harvest Barn - housing a commercial kitchen for our bakery, a new smaller event space, a beautiful bridal suite and on-site bathrooms!

All pictures of our New Harvest Barn were provided by Hazel Lining Photography! She does amazing work.

2020 has definitely been a whirlwind of year for so many people on so many levels. My heart truly goes out to small business owners, especially to vendors in the event industry, as well as restaurants. As we all try to navigate through these times one thing I am thankful for is the opportunity to get creative and collaborate. It has been so exciting to see how small business owners are able to re-invent themselves, pivot and adjust their business plans to keep their businesses afloat during this time. I can assure you this is no small task for a business owner. Guidelines change what sometimes feels like daily and all of our processes have changed multiple times over the last few months. So while it is easy to focus on the chaos, God has continually reminded me to keep trusting Him and to keep looking up. He has taught me a new level on dependence on Him for wisdom, grace and patience to get through this all.

So here at The Farm we have had to change, adjust our processes and even add a few new things! We have been blessed to be able to continue to host outdoor Weddings here at The Farm! Our Barn received approval from the Bucks County Health Department to operate as an outdoor venue. Their guidance and support truly saved our little business. We have several safety measures in place, including adjusted floor plans to allow for social distancing, more team members to wipe down high traffic areas throughout each event, commercial grade cleaning products and the list goes on, but we are surviving and are so happy to be able to serve our Wedding Couples, their friends and families. Our Team at The Farm has been amazing through it all, we could not do what we are doing without each one of them.

This year, we were super excited to announce that we have built a new Harvest Barn that is fully temperature controlled which allows us to host events year-round. This new space can accommodate 50-60 people, and is beautifully decorated with a little more of a modern farmhouse feel than our main Seed Barn. We had hopes to host several Christmas Parties and even smaller Weddings in our new space, but with the Pandemic still here, we have decided to pivot and continue to expand our retail bakery hours and open a Holiday Market! Check out the pictures here of our new Harvest Barn below. So while indoor gatherings may be paused, this year we are super excited to have expanded bakery hours, a new Holiday Market with bakery specials, beautiful bakery gift baskets, holiday cookie boxes, homemade gingerbread house kits and more. Be on the look out for our Holiday Market hours, grand opening date and our menu of offerings for both Thanksgiving Pies & Christmas. We will be posting more information within the next 2 weeks.

A special “Thank You” to Hazel Lining Photography for these beautiful photos.

We have had several people ask about how they can get our Baked Goods. Currently we only have Retail Hours on Saturday’s at our Flour Cart which is open from 9am-1pm. Our Flour Cart is an adorable little vintage trailer that serves up weekly bakery specials as well as hot and iced coffee from Speakeasy Coffee Company. You can Pre-Order for pick-up or you can just come and see what we have. We have weekly seasonal bakery specials and are adding soups, chili and “Meyers” famous chicken pie to the menu in the coming weeks. We have a beautiful outdoor seating area, with a cozy fire to enjoy breakfast at The Farm while taking in the views of the farm lands and changing of the leaves. Be sure to check back regularly as our specials each weekend are updated regularly. We will continue our Flour Cart on Saturdays through November and will transition indoors when the weather gets a little cooler. Here is a link to our menu of items and specials available on the Flour Cart: http://www.meyersfarmbakery.com/flour-cart-farm-stand-and-hours. This weekend Saturday, October 17th, we are bringing back a Meyers Restaurant Favorite - Duchess Soup! You definitely do not want to miss this one! ;-)

You can pre-order our bakery items beyond our Flour Cart hours. Pick-ups can be scheduled Wednesdays through Saturdays. The Farm will make specialty cakes for all occasions, as well as several of our staple menus items available weekly. Check our our menu here: http://www.meyersfarmbakery.com/signature-bakery-menu. If you do not see something you are looking for just let us know, we are happy to accommodate special requests if it’s possible. We typically only need a 24-48 hour notice and you can place your order by emailing bakery@thefarmbakeryandevents.com.

Collaboration is key! Some of our venue friends have utilized us for their weddings and events. We deliver our dessert tables to off-site venues and set-up styled dessert tables for Weddings and Special Events. This season we’ve delivered to some amazing venues. Glasbern Inn, Historic Stonebrook Farm, Barn Swallow Farm & Durham Hill just to name a few. Thank you so much. We truly appreciate the referrals. Our Team at The Farm specializes in all things mini, check out our menu of offerings here and definitely reach out to us for your next Special Event, we would love to be part of your celebrations. http://www.meyersfarmbakery.com/wedding-special-event-menu.

We have also collaborated with 2 amazing small businesses in the area! We deliver Apple Dumplings weekly to The Spinnerstown Hotel. You can get Apple Dumplings there at the restaurant or on their to-go menu. We also deliver baked goods to Speakeasy Coffee Company. Speakeasy Coffee Company just opened a tasting room on Saturdays from 9am-2pm.

Our Flour Cart!

Open Saturdays: 9am-1pm

While 2020 has been a crazy year, I’m grateful for the opportunity to change it up a little bit here at The Farm. We hope that you will come visit us at The Flour Cart and think of us when planning your next Special Event. We truly would love to serve you! Remember to support your local businesses! They have all been through a lot this year and those with their doors still open are waiting and ready to serve you! We are praying for our country, for those that have been deeply affected by the pandemic and for all of the local businesses in our community. We look forward to coming out on the other side, stronger and more resilient than ever before.

Be well and God Bless! Becca

“Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

Featured Wedding: Brittany & Joey

Elle Studios at the Farm Bakery and Events

If you’re anything like us, life (and all your plans) have been flipped upside down in the past month.

Being primarily in the event industry, we feel you. It’s hard. But by the grace of God, we are going to get through this together!

Whether you find us here as a bride, a vendor, a friend, or just someone who loves weddings (no shame), we invite you to join us as we chose to look forward with hope and excitement for the weddings to come by reminiscing on some of the beautiful weddings we were blessed to host in 2019.

Brittany & Joey, here’s to you!

Brittany and Joey held their wedding day on a gorgeous and warm day in June of 2019. The Farm in June is alive with blooms and the trees have been reborn with leaves for the season. The wheat fields are tall and green, and the sun hangs in the sky long into the evening (making for some incredible golden hour images!). We were so honored to host Brittany & Joey’s day on this beautiful summer day!

---

The Love Story:

“15 years. That’s how long Joey and I knew one another before our ‘first date’. Here’s the backstory…

“Joey and I went to different high schools- he went to Saucon Valley and I was a Nazareth girl. However, we shared a best friend- Melissa Henry (who was a proud bridesmaid!) Mel and I played tournament softball together for years. We traveled up and down the east coast with our team and truly had the time of our lives. Although Melissa went to Saucon, we continued playing together on our tournament team throughout high school and became the best of friends. When we weren’t on the field, we were hanging out together- her with my Nazareth friends and me with the Saucon crew. And that’s where I first met Joey. Him and Melissa had been best friends since elementary school so whenever I was around, he was, too. Although we didn’t talk too much then, we knew who one another was and always gave one another a smile and a ‘hey there’. Life continued to move, and the years passed- we all went to college, got busy with our lives, and started planting roots for ourselves. Melissa ended up in D.C., and I spent a good portion of my 20’s living in Charleston, South Carolina. After enjoying my time down south, I decided it was time to ‘come home’ to PA, and back closer to family.

“A few months after moving back, I got a message online from Joey. He reached out to see if I was back in the area and to ask what I had been up to. I told him that I had recently moved back to the area and was trying to keep busy with work. After a few hours of talking online, we decided we would grab a drink to catch up. And that was that. I remember that night like it was yesterday. We met at a bar in downtown Bethlehem and have been inseparable ever since. I remember calling Melissa the moment I left and telling her that although it sounded crazy, I was going to marry him one day. And on June 14, 2019, I did just that.”

---

The Engagement Story:

“In June of 2018, Joey and I decided to take a trip to visit our best friend, Melissa, in D.C. We spent three days touring D.C. with Melissa and her now fiancé, Brendan, and had the time of our lives. We toured the city, ate more than we should have, and enjoyed every second. As we headed back to PA that Sunday morning, Joey told me he wanted to make a quick pit-stop to check something out that we hadn’t gotten to see. He wouldn’t tell me where we were going, and I would have never guessed where we ended up- the National Cathedral. It was beyond beautiful and we spent some time walking around the grounds together. After a bit, we found a bench under a beautiful blossom tree and that is where he asked me to be his wife. To this day, it remains one of the best moments in my life.”

---

the Planning Story:

“When we began planning our wedding, I wasn’t exactly sure what it was that I wanted. I did know, however, what I did not want- I didn’t want the country club, patterned, business-style wedding. I wanted something that felt personal and spoke to who we were as a couple. After going to a handful of locations, my dad’s secretary mentioned The Farm. She had been to an event there earlier that year and gushed over how gorgeous it was. A few days later, we made an appointment to view The Farm and meet with the staff. From the moment we walked onto the grounds, I knew it was where I wanted to be married. My mother and mother-in-law were with me and simply gasped when they saw The Farm. It was everything I ever wanted- a beautiful location, a relaxed setting, and the most incredible staff you could ever imagine. I called Joey, who was still at work, and told him that I finally found ‘the one’. He trusted my judgement, and we booked The Farm that evening. It was truly the best decision, besides saying yes to my husband, that we’ve ever made.”

---

The Wedding Day:

“The best part about The Farm, besides the staff, is its stand-alone charm. It truly is a location that doesn’t need much to enhance its beauty. From the rustic details of the barn, to the bright and blooming flowers, the barn takes your breath away. Our vendors were able to highlight that beauty and charm and make The Farm even more gorgeous than I could have imagined.

“I could go on and on about every detail that made our wedding day such a dream. But if I’m being honest, the best part of our wedding was the fact that we were able to celebrate at The Farm. From the moment I met Becca and her team (Caris was our wedding coordinator and she is truly a gem of a human), I felt so relaxed and at ease. At The Farm, you’re not just ‘another bride’- you are their family and they treat you as such. It is an indescribable feeling, and one I wish for every bride- present and future!”

---

the Vendors:

“Without a doubt, our vendors made our day a dream! Emily Dilcherd from Elle Studios and 2 Little Piggys BBQ and Catering were truly gifts from God! Without a doubt, Emily provided us with images that will truly last a lifetime. She captured every detail, every smile, and every shot that a bride could ever want. She especially made my day when she told me she wanted to come to my grandparents’ house before the wedding to capture some images of him and I. He was too ill to attend the wedding, something that absolutely broke my heart. She knew how close he and I were, so she went out of her way, giving up her own, unpaid time, to take some shots of him and I. Those pictures are some of my favorite of the day and memories I will always hold close to my heart. She is an incredible photographer, an even better person, and one of the hardest working women I’ve ever met!

    To this day, Joey and I still dream about Julie’s food from 2 Little Piggys! When we met with Julie, we instantly felt comfortable. She was so relaxed, easy-going and ready to answer any question you shot at her! I told her that I didn’t want a typical sit-down meal but was looking to incorporate stations with some of our favorite foods. Instantly she started writing down ideas and offering suggestions as to how to make it work. The food was absolutely unbelievable, and we had guests telling us all night how much they appreciated the variety (and deliciousness) of each station! We had a taco bar, a mashed potato bar, a slider bar, a cheesesteak bar, and a mac-and-cheese bar- just to name a few. If the food wasn’t enough, Julie also took care of our flowers, our linens, and our table settings. She truly is the whole package and made it so easy for Joey and I. Julie and her team are absolutely incredible and any bride who works with them can consider herself the luckiest girl in the world!”

---

Brittany and Joey, we are so immensely honored to have been able to serve you on your wedding day last June! Thank you for sharing your special day with us. We wish you nothing but the best as you embark on your journey of marriage together!

About Elle Studios:

“Whether your celebration is big or small, it's worth being captured in a way that brings back all the feels for years to come. I want you to look back at these images for decades and remember exactly how you felt on that day. For all the memories to come rushing back. I want them to be meaningful to you. To speak your truth and tell your story. Because that's really what all of this is about. My style is heavily focused on real moments. Nothing is staged or forced. All the real, good stuff. Connection is super important to me and I want to feel like a trusted friend from the very start so that you're completely comfortable and at ease. I always make sure the way I’m shooting and interacting with you is reflective of your personalities and your chemistry as a couple. We create together.”
