Rediscovering the
Art of the Public House
Our barn is meant to be a third space for our rural community.
Like public houses of yore, The Farmhouse barn is meant to be everyone’s barn — a place to gather, connect, and be present in the world with one another.
What Happens at the Public House:
Food and Drink — available from our kitchen and local vendors.
Open Lounge — whether tables or couches, the space is like a cafe with ways for kids to have their own space, as well.
Event Styles:
Farmhouse Sabbath — a specific rendition of the public house on Friday or Saturday nights.
Sunday Mornings — workshops, church services, and special events in one room, a public house in the other.
Special Events — the barn is open with a formal event occurring simultaneously.
General Open Times — Sundays from 9:00am-12:00pm. The barn is open to be used for sanctuary, meetings, or hanging out.
Community Events — hosted by the public and open to the public.
Private Events — by individuals renting the barn for their own use.

GENERAL OPEN SPACES
Our dream is for this barn to be a third, common space that is open for general, public usage.
Can folks in our rural community have a place to 'go out' without having to go very far?
Can a space exist that gives individuals and families a conducive space for sanctuary, meetings, or generally hanging out? We hope so.
PUBLIC HOUSE: OUR DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
Our space would be open to the public more than our current option of Sunday Morning.
This would include spaces for folks to meet and network, for entrepreneurs to work, for students to gather, for tutoring to take place, & for our community to have access to Place Economy food & drink. We would offer WiFi to the community, especially for students to utilize their school technology.
