Historic Taylor Barn is unique limestone barn built in 1879 by Eben Baldwin and German masons that once held stalls for 30 head of horse and a capacity of 80 tons of hay. The farm has been owned by the Taylors since 1947 and is currently a working farm owned by Debi & Charles Taylor. In order to utilize the barn and share its beauty with the community, Historic Taylor Barn hosts an annual event ca

We stand for great service and helpful recommendations from start to finish and providing a stress-free wedding experience.

Fresh, fruity, refreshing Watermelon Lemonade is the ultimate warm weather drink! This pretty pink drink is a fruity beverage that's really pretty simple to make, with only 3 ingredients + water and ice. It's awesome

Restocking and moving the self-serve this morning. Still need to pick a few cantaloupe.
It’s going to be a hot weekend folks. Come get your watermelon early.
Thank you for all of your support. We’re having to restock the self-serve a couple of times a day.
What do we do with the melons that are left over from the day before? The cattle get a tasty treat 🤗

FYI-How do we know when a watermelon is ripe?
We pick when the tendril is dried and shriveled, color is mate, bottom is creamy yellow/white, and the thump sound is right.
We guarantee our melons. If you buy an under-ripe melon, come back and get another one. 😊
We strive to pick only the ripe ones, but it’s not an exact science. We have been in the business for 45 years and we don’t let amateurs in the patch to pick. Picking cantaloupes and Melons is an art for sure. Every day we strive to perfect it. 🤗🍉🍉🍉🍉 but we’re not always perfect, but will always make it good!!

Restocking the self-serve again!!!
