A Mother’s Day Tribute
It seems so hard to believe that we are already in our 2022 Wedding Season. This year marks our 5 year Anniversary on May 20th, 2022. We hosted our first Wedding here at The Farm on Saturday, May 20th, 2017. We have been blessed beyond measure here at The Farm and I truly could have never dreamed or imagined all that the Farm is today. God has guided us, brought amazing people to work alongside of us, all the while sending so many great couples and their families to get married here. I will never forget when I met one of the most special Moms; her name was Nancy! She came to tour The Farm in November of 2016.

The Farm was a complete mess! There was mud everywhere and the Barn was almost done, but not quite. We had to walk up planks to get into the Barn, because it was a mud slide. I showed her our vision board of what we hoped The Farm would look like, and she said my daughter will love it, its absolutely perfect. I truly almost fell over and was in complete shock. She asked if May 20th, 2017 was open, I paused for a moment and said yes (… only to think, yikes, that is only 6 months away). I’m glad Nancy was confident in our abilities, but I knew how much we still had to do. By the grace of God, we were able to get everything finished. We worked tirelessly and sodded the entire area around the Barn and the back ceremony area the week before the wedding. The Farm was finally ready for our first big day!
My entire family dressed up that day. We watched in amazement how this family set everything up just perfectly. They completely transformed the Barn into everything that I knew it could be, but when I saw it for the first time I was awe-struck. Everything was just beautiful. As I watched everything come together, I was a little taken aback. I had no idea what the future would hold, but I knew at that moment, that God was going to do something special at this Farm!
Here we are, fast forward 5 years later, and to say we have the best job in the world is truly an understatement. God has surely provided. Over the past 5 years, we have witnessed so many amazing couples get married here at The Farm. With each passing year, we grow and learn more. We continuously look for ways to improve, ways to serve better and more abundantly. We praise God and pray more fervently than ever not only to thank Him for all that He has done, but to also give us wisdom to love just like He has done.
In closing, I have to say “thank you” to Nancy, one of the most special Moms I know! She was not only the first person to book a wedding here at the Farm, but her daughter’s wedding was also the first one we ever hosted. She embodied what it means to serve your daughter on her wedding day, and she continues to do so. She brings me a beautiful potted flower every year on their anniversary, and it means so much to me. I will never forget this sweet family and that special day.
Nolan & Kendra had such a beautiful day; my girls watched their wedding video about 500 times. We noticed several months later that little Charlie, who was only 4 at the time, was trying to catch the bouquet in the video. We all almost died. Our first order of business was to teach our girls that the weddings at the Farm were not for us, but for other families. Ha! Check out their video and pictures below from that glorious day!

To all of the Moms out there: I hope you have the most amazing Mother’s Day. While I hope that you are being served on this special day, I have to say that being a Mom myself, I have more joy in my heart when serving others, than when being served. Maybe it’s just a Mom thing, or maybe I’m crazy, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve couples and their families almost every weekend here at The Farm!
Lastly, We are having a special Mother’s Day Flour Cart here at The Farm on Saturday, May 7th, 2022 from 10am to 1pm. Click on our pre-order menu below and check out all of the details below. We hope you will come and join us for Brunch at The Farm, as well as bring a little something special home for all of the special Mom’s in your life!
With much Love & Gratitude,
Becca Lynde
