The barn is renovated to host all of life’s moments, while preserving much of the historical charm and character, including the large glass stained windows and classic wood frame.. Many elements of the farm, such as the large farm table, is sourced locally. The logo of a “tree” represents growth and life. This is what Rebecca wants to share with the community in honor of her husband and daughter. For life and new memories to be created at this special place.
