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.

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.

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

Happenings on The Farm

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.

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.

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

Featured Wedding: Sarah & Scott's Indoor Ceremony!

“It’s like rain on your wedding day” - Alanis Morissette

That might sound like a bad thing - but believe it or not, rain on your wedding day is actually widely considered to be good luck!

Most couples (but not all!) who book with us are looking to hold their ceremony at our outdoor ceremony site, complete with a beautiful wooden arbor and surrounded by tall fields blowing in the breeze.

“It’s like rain on your wedding day” - Alanis Morissette

That might sound like a bad thing - but believe it or not, rain on your wedding day is actually widely considered to be good luck!

Most couples (but not all!) who book with us are looking to hold their ceremony at our outdoor ceremony site, complete with a beautiful wooden arbor and surrounded by tall fields blowing in the breeze.

Alanis Morissette said it best, but one of the biggest factors when planning for an outdoor ceremony is making sure that you have a good backup plan in case the weather is less than perfect. No matter where you are having your wedding, it is so important to have a rain plan thought out ahead of time, just in case. This is one of the biggest questions we are asked when couples first come to tour with us, and one that we are thankful to say we have an amazing system for! Ultimately, we are able to offer a lot of options that depend on a lot of different factors (such as your guest count, the severity of the weather, and your personal preference!). We are able to accommodate bringing in tents to cover the ceremony space, and also have two potential indoor ceremony options depending on your guest count!

So, what happens when (for one reason or another) we host your ceremony indoors?

We wanted to give you the inside scoop by walking you through the wedding of one of our October 2018 couples who held their wedding ceremony and reception in our Seed Barn. Sarah & Scott had a beautiful day full of love and laughter, surrounded by their dearest friends and family. One of the other reasons we adore this wedding is because Sarah & Scott are related to one of our Wedding Coordinators, Caris Green! Caris was Sarah’s Matron of Honor and we are so immensely thankful to have met Caris through this wedding!

The process of creating a rain plan begins long before the wedding day. Each of our couples is assigned a wedding coordinator included through the Farm who will be their point person of contact throughout their planning process. They meet with the couples to discuss the details of the wedding day, including putting together a rain plan. We confirm the details of this plan well ahead of time so that, in the event of rain, we are ready to execute it perfectly without having to work through any nitty-gritty details during your wedding day. We’ll handle the moving parts of your big day so that you and the love of your life can enjoy this amazing time with your loved ones (and with each other) without having to manage any of these details yourselves.

Sarah and Scott held their ceremony inside our Seed Barn. It wasn’t rainy on their wedding day, but it was chilly and windy, so they elected to have their ceremony indoors.

We have a couple of different options to move a ceremony indoors. The Seed Barn is able to accommodate up to 200 guests ceremony-style, utilizing our rustic wooden cross-back chairs. The newest addition to our property, the Harvest Barn, can host more intimate ceremonies as well. Stay tuned for another blog post to see what a ceremony in the Harvest Barn looks like in the coming months!

Sarah & Scott’s processional was greeted with a grand entrance through the Seed Barn Doors, before making their way down the aisle for their beautiful ceremony.

The beams in the Seed Barn serve the purpose of an arbor to frame your ceremony, hang floral installments, and hold the special details and decorations of your ceremony. Whether your initial plan was to hold your ceremony outdoors or you planned for an indoor ceremony from the beginning, rest assured that we can accommodate the personalizations you want to include in your ceremony!

 

After the ceremony, we usher the bridal party and all your guests down to our open-air, fully covered patio for cocktail hour. If there is inclement weather on your wedding day, we are well equipped with plenty of umbrellas to help your guests and bridal party around our property.

 

While you and your new spouse enjoy your cocktail hour spending time with your guests, taking a moment to yourselves, or taking dreamy portraits with your photographer, our Farm staff teams up with your catering staff to transform the Seed Barn for your reception! Before the ceremony, we ensure that your tables are fully set up, complete with linen and your centerpieces, and moved to line the walls of the Seed Barn during your ceremony. After your ceremony, while you and your guests enjoy cocktail hour, we transform the Seed Barn and set up the floor plan for your reception. We refresh the tables and complete any additional set-up that might be needed, allowing for a grand reveal of the space when your guests enter for the reception.

When your guests return to the Seed Barn for your reception, they are greeted by a fully refreshed space complete with all of the special details that make the space your own! When you make your grand entrance to the Barn, every detail will have been accounted for so you are able to simply enjoy your wedding day with all your favorite people.

We work with incredible teams of vendors who are all there to ensuring that, rain or shine, your wedding day is even more special than you dreamed. The vendors on our preferred list are people who we trust to give our couples the highest level of service, especially on occasions where we may have to resort to a rain plan.

Sarah & Scott enjoyed a beautiful reception catered by 2 Little Piggys with Chris Marx Events as their DJ, captured beautifully by Stacy Salvatori. This was a fantastic showcase of the vendors on our preferred list, and we can’t recommend them enough!

The Farm Bakery and Events supplied their wedding cake and rustic dessert table.

Sarah and Scott, we are so thankful that you chose us to host your wedding! Your indoor ceremony was so beautiful, and we are truly blessed to have been able to serve you and celebrate with you on your wedding day! We wish you a long and happy life together!
