With the recent events in our country, I feel that it is up to us, all of us, to show that there is light in the world. That people just want to love, be loved and to celebrate life. This is the very driving force in why we work here at the farmstead. It’s what keeps us motivated and why we enjoy our job. It’s also why families come here, as they too want a place to celebrate love and life. We need to create and give that spark that lights up what’s good in our world.

With that intent in mind, we will begin hosting weddings in July. There will of course be some changes in operation as we take guidance from the Ford county health dept. The wedding families will be contacted with these changes so that they can address their guests. None of these changes will be drastic. The nice thing is since this is a barn and activities are outdoors, there is room to spread out and keep our distancing as directed by the Illinois dept of health.

To that, Cheers! We’re having weddings again!!!!

When can we host weddings?

I receive that question in my inbox daily. My answer is I'm hopeful for July, but I really don't know.
Recently, our county (Ford) made a proclamation stating every business in the county can open under the guidance of the county health dept. This is indeed helpful with that we all want to be certain we can operate safely.
But the big question looming is what phase will our governor say we will be at in a month, two months, three months, etc.?How does that phase determine how we can operate? In phase 4 all outdoor activities are allowed. Would activities here be interpreted as an outdoor event? Could we reach phase 4 by July?
I'm hopeful that we can address the above concerns within the upcoming weeks and figure out a plan to be able to host July weddings.

Due to the recommendations from the CDC to not have events or mass gatherings and the order from the Illinois Governor to limit crowds to 50, we will be changing the dates of all events within the next eight weeks. This will not be like the MLB where we shift everyone's date back. Those of you with events beyond the eight weeks will not be affected unless the CDC recommendation or the governor order extends into that time. We are already in communication with those within the eight week time and providing availability to reschedule their dates.

Kyler and Courtney got married!!!!!
I don't know what to write because it's just too awesome. Both of them work or have worked here, they got engaged here, now married here. One thing (and I feel the rest of us that work here would agree), we're all in a sense a family here and it's just overwhelming joy to be part of it. The barn looked spectacular, the weather (albeit cold) really wasn't that bad for Illinois, just a great day.

Woo hoo, Pig Pen and Courtney got married!
