We’re OPEN for the 2025 season!
Yesterday we eased in with a soft half-day, and now we’re officially back to regular hours —
10 AM to 7 PM on weekdays,
9 AM to 7 PM on weekends!
The sun is out, the shelves are stocked, and the energy is better than ever.
There’s a fresh season ahead and a big chapter unfolding — not just for the Red Barn, but for me personally.
The new owners are here — seven days a week, side-by-side with us, learning the ropes, opening up in the morning, and greeting every customer with genuine smiles. They’re just as eager to meet you as you are to meet them. And let me tell you — this transition has been emotional, but also incredibly fulfilling. They are everything I hoped for when I started dreaming about what would come next for the Barn.
We’ve got amazing produce sales going on right now, and YES — our famous jumbo Adora black grapes are in stock and flying out the door. There’s already a buzz around here, and it’s clear that the community is ready for the season.
I’ll still be around this spring, helping out and making sure everything runs smoothly as we pass the torch. I know a lot of you will miss seeing me here full-time — and trust me, that feeling’s mutual — but I truly believe I was here to plant the seed, and now it’s time for someone else to help it grow.
Your support through this slow and thoughtful transition means the world. YOU are the reason Red Barn has become what it is. You’ve been our roots, our foundation — and now you’re helping us build something even bigger.
As for me? I’m not disappearing. Once the Barn is standing strong under its new leadership, I’ll be stepping into a new purpose — one that lets me take everything I’ve learned over these past 7 years and help other local businesses grow, too.
I’m launching a merchandising and consulting company, with a long-term goal of getting into commercial real estate. Whether it’s fruit stands, local markets, or even something totally unrelated — I want to help small businesses shine, just like we did here. And if selling is the best move for a business and the community it serves, I want to be the one to find the right people to carry it forward — people like the new Red Barn owners, who lead with passion and purpose.
I believe with everything in me that this is what I’m meant to do next. And the new owners believe just as strongly that this transition is exactly how it’s meant to be.
So come say hi — come shop, catch up, grab your grapes, and meet the next generation of Red Barn leadership.
We’ve got smiling faces, warm hugs, and a whole lot of love waiting for you.
Let’s make this season one to remember.
