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
