Our Story...

In the spring of 2001, what was previously the LaRosh Egg farm, and at one time a dairy farm was put up for auction. We purchased the farm in the hopes that we can, once again, make it something wonderful.
 
Years of neglect had taken it's toll and the farm was in sad condition. In 1998, an F1 tornado ripped through the property and compounded the repairs that were already many. The massive chicken house, an area used to house chickens and harvest eggs during the LaRosh operation, had been stripped of almost all of it's siding and the side which faced the tornado had been completely blown out. The roof of every building was in need of at least some repair, some of which needed to be completely replaced. One of the grain bins was damaged beyond repair and has since been converted to a banquet space. The most significant structure, the barn, had several large holes in it's roof. Some the size of a small car. Because of someone's creativity, we were able to salvage the barn. After the tornado damage, someone had spread out a tarp over the floor of most of the 4th level. It was used to catch the rain water that made it through the damaged roof. We truly believe that this act saved the barn and for that we are thankful. We haven't been able to determine the exact date of the barn's original construction but it is certain that the building was here long before most of us and has since been a long-standing landmark in our community. So many people remember coming to LaRosh Egg farm to purchase eggs with their family. We hope to make it a place where family and friends can meet again.
