The Soule House & Carriage Barn

Anyone else feel like this summer is flying by? 🙋🏻‍♀️ While August creeped up on us rather quickly, we feel like we are FALL-ing behind with getting this announcement out!! 🍁

Mark your calendar folks for our 4th Annual Outdoor Market & Fall Gathering planned for Sunday, September 29th from 11am-4pm.

We have 40+ vendors lined up again for this year and some new ones too! Per usual, we will be squeezing the juice out of our very own Honey Crisp Apples from our private orchard (crop is looking good!) to satisfy your apple cider needs along with pumping out as many apple cider donuts we can make.

NEW this year we will be serving up Apple Cider Slushies! 😯🍎 Yum!!! 🤤

Can’t forget the🐴 pulled wagon rides and face painting 🎨 for the kiddos! We are currently rounding up face painters now so hopefully we can pull this off. Please message us if you are interested in volunteering your time to offer this activity - The Soule House provides all supplies and provides goodie bags to our volunteers as well.

FREE PARKING, FREE ADMISSION, BRING CASH.

Meet Jess & Kody! This beautiful couple graced us with their presence at the Summer Barn Party this past Sat 7/27 hosted by .

This couple holds a special spot in our heart as they were the very first couple to book their wedding with us under our ownership of The Soule House. They toured the property in Feb 2021, when we were not looking our best, and booked later that same day for their 9/3/2022 wedding. They took a complete leap of faith in us and saw the vision we had to bring this beauty to life!

At the Summer Barn Party they were spotted lounging under the same maple tree where they said their “I-do’s.” It was so lovely seeing them get to relive all the warm fuzzies! 🥰

Peep the new roof! 👀

While we didn’t put a 💍 on it, we did put a new tin roof on it. We love the new roof that Giroux’s Construction did on the 1880 Carriage Barn last summer (2023). This ol’ girl sure has come a long way in the few short years since she’s been in our care. Swipe 👈🏻 for the before photo!

This couple's micro wedding at The Soule House was planned in just 4 weeks! See all the sweet details in this latest blogpost.

Earlier this month we held a very special ceremony and gathering for these two lovebirds, Jessica ODell and Jeremy O'Dell. It was our first Microwedding! They made use of both our formal living and formal dining room.

The beautiful fireplace served as their backdrop for their “I-Do’s.” There was toasting. There was dancing. And, most importantly, there was love! 💕

Cheers to Jess and Jeremy! 🥂🍾

Our September Bride took DIY to the next level. She cut down a pine tree behind her parent’s house where she grew up. Her dad then used an Alaskan sawmill to cut boards from it in order to make the arbor. Now she will have this piece in her own backyard with all the lasting memories to go with it.

Congrats to Nick and Nicole! 🥂

About last weekend!! What a fantastic turnout we had at our 3rd Annual Outdoor Market & Fall Gathering. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and we even had a surprise guest visitor, a SKUNK!! Luckily no one got sprayed! 🦨

We want to thank all of our guests for attending and showing your support to us and our 35 vendors. Thank you to our wonderful vendors for being part of the festivities! A big shout out to our 3 lovely ladies that offered complimentary face paintings; Jessica A. Pelkey of Salon Elixir, Meagan Van Woert of Paint and Sip VT, and Blake Getchell a local artist who created the new graphic for the St.Albans downtown t-shirts. We appreciate you gals for giving your time and talent!

Thank you to Gary Cherrier and Tim Corey for providing us with horse pulled wagon rides! 🐴 Thank you Peoples Trust Company for your partial sponsorship towards the rides. And thanks to Tim Corey for letting us borrow hay bales to decorate the property with.

To the community of Fairfield, your unwavering support means so much to us. You keep showing up for us time and time again! Many thanks! 🙏🏻

Lastly, a big, heartfelt thank you to our 11 wonderful volunteers, both family and friends! You all know who you are and we are so grateful for you guys as we couldn’t have pulled off this event without you all!

Until next year friends!

Just a little note left behind this past Sunday at the property! Sorry we missed you Jess and Vivian McDonnell. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your memories with us and your daughter! We are thrilled that our upkeep of the property is keeping your grandmother Betty smiling! 🥰

Things have been quiet here at The Soule House and we have been slow to start our projects this season. But earlier this month we finally got around to adding some fresh top soil to the silo so we can plant sunflower seeds - last year we over-seeded 🤪. This year we also rototilled our ditch that separates the field from the side lawn in hopes of throwing down some All Annual Wildflower Seed Mix to add a pop of color!

Lastly, we FINALLY found someone who was able to throw the few roof panels back on the front of the Dairy Barn as they came off about 2yrs ago from strong winds! Now she’s picture worthy again!

Looks like it’s going to be a good apple crop this year for our 3rd Annual Outdoor Market & Fall Gathering (Sun 9/24). These photos are from our private apple orchard located in Franklin.

More info to come about the Fall Gathering come August.

Come hungry as we will also be selling hotdogs and Michigan dogs from 11am on. Cash only.

Be sure to go show your support!
