With Jenn around, there is never a dull moment, and she is sure to make your wedding day special, memorable, and the MOST FUN EVER.
It all started when…
This crazy (huge!) idea popped into Jenn’s head. And if you know Jenn, when she gets something in her head and shes got a goal - she’s literally unstoppable. We worked tirelessly over the last year and a half to start the rezoning and permitting process. We worked closely with local officials to become legit, and to get shovel ready. The property was in dire need of some of TLC but it was difficult to decide just WHERE to begin. The animals kind of made that call for us. We were pretty over getting calls at 3 am to say the cows were out, so we started with fencing and worked from there! In most areas of life, we adapt the mantra “teamwork makes the dream work” so we’d like to take a minute (just sit right there cue fresh prince sound track ;)) to introduce our team of contractors who are helping bring this beautiful barn to life. Whippletree Timber Framing along with Red Ladder Construction and C.Brown Contracting + a ton of other businesses who will have lent a helping hand in the end (please feel free to ask about everyone involved, we’re happy to share exactly who did what, BECAUSE THESE FELLAS NEED A STANDING OVATION for their hustle and hardwork!
A little more info - if you’re curious! The original farm and homestead has been in Jenns family since 1953. It started with cash crops “the three sisters” as Uncle Billy recalled - barley, wheat and corn. Then the family soon realized that plowing the hilly fields with the walking plow and horses wasn’t the most ideal farming situation. They soon became a dairy farm and then eventually evolved into raising beef cattle. As Uncle Billy aged, he decided pasturing cattle for a neighbor and caring for his African Geese and Jersey Giant Chickens was more than enough to keep his farmer heart busy. When Jenn moved to the farm, she quickly threw on the ‘farmer hat’ and dubbed themselves sheep farmers (another of Jenns wild ideas that basically started with her bringing home a lamb on one random day) and each day has been a education. A tough man to please Uncle Bill was, but the lamb won him over - and he proudly commented whenever he could that it was “DAMN GOOD LAMB” - and it is ;) If you get married in late May you’ll get to see all the fresh babies running about the fields which is pretty frickin’ adorbs too. Jenn was planning the venue since 2018 and dreaming of it for years before then - We’re so thankful that Bill got to experience the very FIRST Farmhill wedding in the fall and believe it not - it was the FIRST wedding he had ever been to in his life! He thought it was crazy haha. Although he suddenly passed shortly after, we know he’s always around in spirit to make sure we’re not “fucking up the place” (his words haha)
