Welcome Winter ❄️
An enormous moment of gratitude goes to all the couples who got married here at Compass Acres. It would amaze us after every event how each union would bring their own special touch to make this space unique. We absolutely adore celebrating LOVE, and our couples make this worth it 🤍

It takes a whole lot of man power, creativity, and hard work to pull off what we did in 3 short months. It was round the clock work and many hands that helped bring a vision into reality. Sometimes (and I’m sure Shane agrees 😅) I can’t believe we did what we did and a huge THANK YOU goes out to our favorite renovation team! We literally brought home a baby memorial weekend, and this team showed up day after day to make sure it got done.

Today is also Shane’s 26th birthday 🥳 Happy Birthday 🎉
You know we are passionate about our sunflowers and we want to give back to our followers!
We wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for you 🫵🏻 and we would like to yell from the top of our lungs THANK YOU for your continued support. The shares, likes, comments, mean so much for a small business, so seriously Thank you for the love!
We would like to give our fans with the “top badge” status (on Facebook) some of our sunflower seeds, we will ship them to you! To claim, leave a comment and if a top badge appears, send us a direct message. 🌻
We will do a giveaway on instagram as well! Tag a sunflower lover and we will do a drawing next Wednesday 11/22.
We seriously appreciate you! 🧡
****Please note we are not responsible for the growth of sunflowers, or lack of. Sunflowers have most likely been cross pollinated, so will not be true to their original form.
Our next step of gratitude goes to a group of people who inspire me to take those big leaps of faith and embrace the challenges. Their unconditional love and support help keep us showing up everyday. Running a business is HARD somedays, but with the right people in your corner, it makes it worth while and fun!
All these wonderful ladies are so talented in their own passions and great role models (and cheerleaders) to others betting on themselves. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you for answering the teary worrisome phone calls, laughing with me on wedding days as we pull off the perfect day, or showing up to help get stuff done. Your friendship is immeasurable ❤️
Give their accounts a follow, I truly believe they are some of the best in the industry

A huge shout out to Dennis Van from Top Shelf Entertainment, he is a great friend and wonderful DJ. Thanks for being able to read my mind better than I can sometimes😂
And Thank you Kevin Adams for being a fantastic officiant. Best of wishes with your next adventure as Mayor!
We’d like to start our season of gratitude saying a big HUGE Thank you to my Dad, Brian! He is our gardening consult, sunflower planter, pumpkin grower, and parking master.
My Dad got us into gardening when we were young and would have us grow, harvest, and enter garlic into the local county fair. This went on for years, until one year, where I swear, they switched the ribbons on Shane and mine (I definitely should have taken first 🤣).
It feels so great to be back in the gardens with him, and we needed a lot of help this year! Especially when the deer kept eating the sunflowers!! We also appreciate his help with parking, that’s the first experience people have when entering the venue, and he starts everyone’s visit with a warm welcome.
He didn’t know retirement was going to have him busier than ever, and we appreciate all you do for us!
If you enjoyed seeing him, or the sunflowers he helped grow, please leave him some nice words or a round of applause 👏🏻 Thanks Dad!
My gratitude knows no bounds…
Do you know what if feels like to stand in front of a business you started, wearing your own logo you created, watching all your hard work come together like a dance in harmony?
The joy is overwhelming, in the most beautiful ways.
This was all a dream for years, thinking “maybe someday that would be fun.” And look at us now! BUT this is only possible because of the wonderful support system we have, that I have, to make this become a reality.
Since our wedding season has wrapped up, and the frost has officially put our gardens to rest, I am so excited to share the people my heart has such appreciation for. During this time of gratitude, I hope you can practice sharing the same with me, I promise it will bring some happiness to your day. 💛
Also, Thank you to Pastrick's Sporting Goods & Uniform Shop for the wonderful shirts! They are the best for all your printing needs!
Fun fact- when I say I created the logo, I actually designed and created it! I used to dabble in graphic design and was going to go to college for GD before I decided to be an Art Educator 🎨
During this series, leave some love, an emoji, or introduce yourself! We wouldn’t be here without your constant support. Here’s to a grateful November 💛

Cool drinks down fast with this hack! Thanks to my time sitting around bon fires and laughing with friends, there have been times we needed to get the drinks cooled down FAST! Some might call it a little bit of redneck ingenuity, but all you need is a cooler, ice and salt. The more ice and more salt, the cooler they will get! But seriously, all this takes it about 15 minutes for you to enjoy some ice cold drinks! DISCLAIMER— ONLY USE FOOD SAFE SALT, YOU WILL BE PUTTING THESE CANS ON YOUR LIPS!!!!

Thank the lord I had gloves on 🐍 I would just like to say, this is called growth 😅I reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyy really don’t like snakes, but before if I knew they were even in an area I wouldn’t go near it. If I would have done this a couple years ago I would have went inside, crawled into a corner, and cried. I’m forcing myself to understand and coexist with nature better and that’s why I stood there and shook it off and got back to work. I am getting better about snakes, but I still don’t really want to be near them, but as long as I can see them I am better. But touching it by surprise did send me, and It was too good not to share 🤣🤣So! How would you have handled this situation?🐍#snake #ringsnake #gartersnake #gardeningproblems #gardening #gardeninglife #flowersmakemehappy #flowerproblems #digginginthedirt #compassacres
Dream big, and keep moving forward ❤️🙌🏻It’s been a journey, and I’m still managing my mental wellness and it’s something I am intentional about everyday. Everyday is not rainbows and butterflies, there are still some really dark days, but all in all I am absolutely a different person from a couple years ago, from my 20’s.I will say this with all the love in my heart, if your brain is being brutal to you, it’s not supposed to be that way. You don’t need to live with your brain bullying you everyday. It doesn’t need to be loud and anxious. There is so much I could go on about this, but for now:Love yourselfTake care of yourselfBe kind to yourselfDream big for yourselfWhatever stands in the way of that, change it, seek help to change it. Dig deep, and keep moving forward. I’m here to chat, the hardest part for me was to admit I needed help. 🫶🏻#flowersmakemehappy #gardensmakemehappy #gardendesign #flowers #mentalhealth #mentalheathawareness #ptsd #ptsdrecovery #ptsdawareness #cbt #cbttherapy #nicumom #birthtraumarecovery #cancer #fcancer

Is this a beer garden or patio? 🤔When the warm months are here, people love being outside at the barn! So when we were adding renovations, I just dreamed of a space people could be outside dancing, drinking, and having a great time. This is such a beautiful space especially once the flowers went into bloom. I would love to answer any questions you have about our beer garden addition! #beergarden #barnvenue #barnwedding #thisisupstate #fingerlakes #outdoorwedding #compassacres #dancinginthemoonlight #patio #outdoorpatio

Take things off your list. Memories made with loved ones will last longer than any store bought thing.
