Spring Open House at The Farm!

The past couple of years have been a whirlwind. God has truly had us all on this amazing journey and I’m so thankful for all that He has done here at our little Farm in Quakertown. Without His strength, guidance, provision and wisdom we would not be where we are today. We opened our Farm on Zion Hill for Weddings in the Spring of 2017 and had no idea what would happen. We are about to enter our 4th Wedding Season. It is with great honor that we will be able to serve so many Wedding Couples and their families on one of the most exciting days as they begin their lives together.

I remember the day that God planted a seed in my heart for this idea. Could we host Weddings in our Barn? Would people actually come here to get married? How would we pay for the renovations? At the time I was working full-time in a very busy position that required quite a bit of travel. How would I manage both and make sure to keep my commitments? Chris and I had always discussed different ideas for businesses, but we never actually acted on them. So I prayed, we prayed- Lord, we are just going to take one step at a time and follow your lead, if this is your will for where you want us to be, I know you will make it happen. To say that God provided is an understatement! I remember reading a verse - “Commit your plans to the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4. He knew I had a heart to serve and all He had to do was plant the seed. “I planted a seed in your hearts, and Apollo watered it, but it was God who made it grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:6. I remember thinking over the course of the last 4 years, as our business grew, how am I going to continue to manage this business and work full-time? I have two young children and while I was blessed with an awesome corporate job, my heart wanted to be a Mom and be closer to them. I never in a million years imagined that this little business at The Farm would allow me to leave my job, but again God provided. I kept hearing His soft whisper- trust me, you are in my hands! My flesh wanted to be filled with fear, the fear of failure, and the fear of all of the what ifs. But, through faith and God’s grace I left my job in February of 2019, only a year ago. Yet again I was humbled by all that God provided and how He has continued to carry me during this time.

I began a new prayer- Lord we need to find good people to help us carry out your mission here at The Farm. He provided more abundantly than I could have every dreamed or imagined. “He said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into the field.’” Mathew 9:37-38. Not only did He send workers, but AMAZING and talented people who have all brought their gifts and talents to serve here at The Farm. Kara, our baker, has been working with us for the past 5 years. She is so talented and we are blessed to have her working with us. Over the next 4 years we have been blessed to hire an amazing team of Wedding Coordinators - Susanna, Jess and Caris. Check out our TEAM, without them we would not be here. At the beginning of February we hired our first full-time role, an Event Operations Manager. We are excited to share that Anna Robinson has accepted this role after interning with us for the past 2 years. She started at the beginning of February and is already doing so many amazing things to support our business here at The Farm. I pinch myself and ask Anna almost every day, are you still enjoying your new job? We are grateful for each member on our TEAM and all that they do to support our mission here!

So… in addition to all these wonderful happenings, we are beyond excited to roll out our first Open House and Grand Opening of our New Harvest Barn on Sunday, April 5th, 2020! We have named our Barns here to honor God for all that He has done. Instead of referring to the barns as the “old barn” and “new barn,” our beautifully restored 1800’s barn is now our “Seed Barn.” We pray that just as God planted the seed in my heart, that God would also plant seeds in the many couples who begin their journeys together here. We continually pray that their lives will be full of love, joy and happiness for many years to come! Our new barn will now be our “Harvest Barn.” “So lets not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9!

We are so thankful for the harvest that God has provided and we would love to have you all join us to celebrate the opening of our new space. Our Harvest Barn will be the home for our on-site bathrooms, new bridal suite and powder room, kitchen for our bakery and a new smaller event space for rehearsals, showers, corporate outings and more! We are in the process of updating all of our bakery menus and will be opening our “Flour Cart Farm Stand.” The stand will have regular retail hours with weekly specials for breads, pies, baked goods and more! See the concept picture below. How cute will this little addition be to our Farm?

Warmly, 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.

Exciting News About Our "Celebrate Life" Fundraising Event!

Wow, I’m really not even sure where to begin. As I sit here and write this blog, so many emotions are running through my mind! One thing I do know for sure is that God is absolutely amazing and once again I’m reminded how much more amazing his plans are than my own!

Thank you to my amazing family who supported this event and helped to carry out every detail!

Wow, I’m really not even sure where to begin. As I sit here and write this blog, so many emotions are running through my mind! One thing I know for sure is that God is absolutely amazing! Again and again I’m reminded how much more perfect His plans are than my own!

For those of you who are reading about this event for the first time, we hosted a concert in our barn in honor of my Mom! “Celebrate Life” featuring Sara Groves took place on Friday, May 10th, 2019. It was a special concert to raise money for a new ultrasound machine for Crossroads Pregnancy Care! This was an organization that was very near and dear to my Mom’s heart. We thought this would be the perfect event to combine her love of worship music with a fundraising event for Crossroads. After sharing this idea with friends and family, I had an amazing group of women come alongside of me to help plan and organize this event. Our goal was to raise $25,000 for Crossroads to make this purchase possible. As we joined together, we continually prayed that God would provide. That He would open hearts to help us in this effort.

I have to say that I did not realize how difficult planning this event would be. I had no idea how people would respond to our requests for donations. During a time when there is such a divide in our nation, my prayer was that people would see beyond that. This event was planned to honor my Mom. To “Celebrate” the amazing life that she led and to help support an organization that supports so many women in need. I am so excited to announce that due to the combined efforts of many people, we were able to raise $26,538.00 for Crossroads. I received an email yesterday from Walt Zamroz the Executive Director at Crossroads and he shared that the board approved the purchase of their new ultrasound machine. They are hoping to have the new machine in place by the middle of June! Praise the Lord!

I’m truly in awe of God’s army that helped pull this event together! The support of the Bergey family has been beyond incredible. Their love of God and their willingness to use their resources to support so many organizations is truly unbelievable. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! We also had the support of so many other local businesses - Lacher Insurance, Weaver, Reckner & Reinhart Dental, Leatherman Plumbing, JET Upholstery as our Precious Sponsors! Lewis Dental, Harleysville Bank, Bracalente Manufacturing, Naugle Funeral Home, Moyer’s Chicks, The Hennessy Team, Horizon Signs, Buxmont CrossFit and Falk Funeral Home as our Thankful Sponsors! This event would not have been possible without each and every one of these businesses contributions!

A special thank you goes out to our Food & Beverage Sponsors - Speakeasy Coffee, OWowCow, Backyard Beans, Buxmont Party Rentals & Black River Farms Winery! Everything was absolutely delicious and there was a line around the room for that amazing ice cream. Thank you to Clearview Nursery for their flower basket donations! A special thank you to Sharon Shipe Photography for capturing all of the special moments that night! All of our basket donors - WOW - Thank you, thank you!

Lastly, I am beyond thankful to all our friends, family and volunteers for their support and love! I also have to thank everyone who purchased tickets to see Sara Groves and support this event. The day was absolutely better than I could have ever imagined. Sara and her band were unbelievable! Her music and story sharing throughout the evening was just beautiful. And I can only describe the weather as a blessing from our Heavenly Father above! For a day predicted with thunderstorms all day it turned out to be AMAZING! Only one hour before guests were arriving, a torrential downpour was happening at The Farm. At that moment, I stopped and said a prayer, “Please God, part the skies and let the evening be beautiful for our guests!” Right after that prayer, not only did the skies clear, but there was a beautiful rainbow that filled the sky all around the farm! The sun came shining down upon us and I knew at that moment God had orchestrated the most amazing night, better than I could have ever dreamed or imagined. Goosebumps filled my body and my eyes welled with tears as I looked at my family and at the sky filled with God’s beautiful promise. It was the first rainbow at The Farm this year. Not only is a rainbow a beautiful reminder of God’s promise, but the week prior to my Moms passing every day we came home from the nursing home, there was a beautiful rainbow over The Farm. What a special moment that night, a night we were remembering her, God sent a beautiful rainbow. I thank God for His continued presence in our lives and for all that He has done here at our Farm! We are forever grateful and are looking forward to seeing the next event He plans here at The Farm!

Again, thank you to so many and God Bless!

Warmly, Becca Lynde
