Originally built to be a homestead, it boasts a spring fed pond, creek, several species of nut trees and a history of all natural fruits, vegetables, pork, free-range chicken and grass-fed beef and lamb. A once private property owned by the Strack family, Rusted Route Farms opened to the public for the first time with Jones Heritage Farm and Market. Heritage Farms brought the community to feast with its delectable brunch and a wide variety of all natural goods.
This Beautiful Home has one of the most amazing picturesque settings, with its spring fed pond with water fountain to its 1900s Sears Barn Kit that now is used as a wedding and events space, this property truly is one of a kind! It also is home to many out door setting spaces to enjoy. Please ask for more details about our options for charcuterie boards, appetizer platters, wine and world famous goat cheese that can be added to your stay.
The Farmhouse has a large island with barstools in the center of the kitchen with all the amenities to cook a large family dinner and host it in its even larger floor to ceiling brick dining room with plenty of seating and a beautiful wood table! The Living room is nestled right in the heart of the home and has a wood fireplace and view of the existing historic buildings out its bay window.
