It is prom, shower, and celebration season! Weddings kick off May 18th and we are mulching, trimming, and sprucing up! Now, the important news...how do we get to Sugar Grove with the F-48 construction? As of now, the best way is to take Exit 159 off of I-80 and take F-48 (go around the closed signs) to the barn as usual. The road is a little rough, but actually quite good, with center lines painted!! Google Maps and Map Quest have alternate routes once that exit is no longer open. I will keep you updated here! You can also check out Jasper County Road Department. They are doing a great job updating!

We are giving many private tours these days! We have several dates "penciled in", which means that couples are strongly interested but have not yet made a deposit. This is an old fashioned practice that helps relieve stress for couples. It works! If someone else absolutely wants the "penciled in" date, we contact the first couple to see if they are ready to put down the deposit. The following dates are still absolutely open (not penciled in) for 2024: July 6, all of August, November 9, and November 16. Message us here or email at [email protected] for detailed info and/or to schedule a tour. We are happy to help!
