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.

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.
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
