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

Holiday Season "Farm Bakery" Menu

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe that Christmas Season is here!  This has always been my favorite time of the year.  Growing up in the restaurant business holiday's were always one of our busiest times, except for Christmas.  We always closed the restaurant on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, which gave us quality time to spend together!  

This season, I'm even more thankful for all that God continues to do in our lives.  I pray that despite the hustle and bustle this season can bring that I'm not too busy to see those who need an extra smile or a "Thank You" or just someone to listen to in a time of need.  I pray that I give more than I receive.  I pray that God allows his light to shine through me to spread the wonder of his love and the joy he brings to my heart.   

As this special time of the year approaches I also pray that we all take time to slow down, connect with family and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of baby Jesus.   We are so thankful that God sent his one and only Son so we could be saved and are forever grateful.  

We hope that we can serve you this Holiday Season with some of our great new baked goods to add sparkle to all of your celebrations.  Check out our menu items below!  We have great new Gift Boxes that make wonderful, thoughtful gifts as well as some of our favorites from the Meyers Restaurant Days!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  May God bless you and guide you closer to him this Holiday Season!

Warmly, Becca
