Our Story
Woodburn Ridge is an event venue located in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. We are located on a 185 acre farm with fields, ponds, and forests overlooking the Valley below.
The venue is run by Michelle, with support from her husband, Jay. Up until our purchase of the property in September 2015, this farm was handed down through many generations, and we are truly humbled, that we now get to start that tradition all over again, with our family.
The barn is an early 1900’s timber frame structure that sits on the original hand split granite rock foundation. The barn, originally had two haymows with low ceilings. One haymow sat one storey above the main floor and ran the perimeter of the barn. The second haymow was three storeys up, with two separate platforms in the middle of the barn. At one time, they used horses, ropes, and pulleys, to lift the loose hay up into the mows. If you look straight up to the peak, you will see the main ridge beam, with the trolley and pulleys still attached. The barn has seen many generations of farming, with the most recent use, being a dairy barn by the previous owners.
With Jay’s love for carpentry and woodwork, along with Michelle’s passion and background in Architecture and design, they knew that the integrity and overall look of this historical timber frame building needed to be preserved as much as possible.
