Celebrate love on any day of the week!
Weekends don’t have to have all of the fun..
A couple of weeks ago, we had the honor of hosting Abby & Ian for a lovely Week Day Wedding. The two of them had designed a gorgeous day, including all of the fun you might see on a weekend and brought The Farm to life on a Wednesday afternoon. As they were blessed with perfect weather, worked with an amazing florist, Side Yard Stems, who is actually Abby’s brother and of course, had The Farm’s delicious desserts, it was truly a night to remember.
You can clearly see the love between Abby & Ian in these stunning photos, captured by Ashely Plante from Analog Wedding. Abby & Ian gave the love right back to their guests with thoughtful touches, such as a cigar bar for the groomsmen to enjoy, a candy bar for the kiddos & of course, elegant dresses for the bridesmaids. We also had the yard games out for even more fun! The final touch was to make sure to have one of our fire pits going with a deluxe s’mores bar for everyone to enjoy! Every detail was carefully thought of which made for a truly magical week day evening here at The Farm.
As an exceptional example of how truly special a Week Day Wedding can be, don’t just take it from us, take it from Abby & Ian. So, when it comes time to plan your big day, don’t count out Wednesdays or Thursdays or even Tuesdays! Love deserves to be celebrated, no matter the day of the week.
Thank you to our vendor team!

Spring at The Farm...
It’s so hard to believe that Spring is here. We have been super busy planning for our first Wedding of 2023 which is right around the corner. As we move from the Winter months into our warmer Spring season, it’a always such a beautiful reminder of how Jesus brings beauty and light to the darkness.
Our bulbs are popping up to bring color and beauty to the dark gray backdrop we have seen over the last few months. Seeds have been planted that then have sprouted which will one day transform into beautiful flowers that will make even the darkest days seem bright. The birds are singing louder than ever, reminding us that in just a few short weeks, warmth and sunshine will be here.
Spring is definitely one of my favorite seasons here at The Farm. It always makes me pause; to remind myself that everything here is temporary and only through Jesus do we have life. It’s by His design that there is so much beauty every where I look.
My prayer is that I have eyes to see the light even when everything looks dark in front of me. That I remember to look-up and thank the one who gave His life, so I could have mine. I’m beyond humbled, for how much He has given us here at The Farm and we are so excited to see our Farm used in so many new ways this year.
We have been busy working on plans to expand our flower gardens, as well as add a kitchen garden for edible flowers and herbs for our dessert tables. Our Groom's Suite is getting a re-fresh this year too. More details are coming soon on both of these projects.
As we head into Spring we are thankful for the opportunity for another year to serve our couples, our community, and our team of amazing people here at The Farm.
In closing, check out our new Calendar of Events page for some of our upcoming exciting events here at The Farm. We have awesome workshops with Flowers from 12th, a few upcoming Nights of Worship you will not want to miss. Don't forget , Easter is right around the corner too, but you can always order our baked goods now too! We have some great specials for the month of March for Moms & St. Patty's Day too! :-)
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support of our little Farm on Zion Hill Rd.
Warmly, Becca Lynde

Every table tells a story....
As I sit here a few weeks before Thanksgiving, I was taken back to November of 2016 to 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. This table here, is filled with history. My Mom and Grandmothers china, apple dumplings that my Grandmother Meyers made back in the day and a beautiful table made by my Father-in-Law from the old 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.

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
