Julie grew up in a rural area on a horse farm, and so has plenty of experience with rural life, spending over 30 years running premium brand retail in sales, events, and service initiatives. The two met on a mission to Haiti. Eventually, both Julie and Jeff found themselves drawn to country life – they found they had an appreciation for the values that rural and farm life stood for. In turn, these values became core pillars of what Redeemed Farm has incorporated into its operational model. It believes in hard work, artisan production, community, creativity, simplicity, and faith. It considers faith to be one of the most important of these tenants as the founders have drawn strength from their faith throughout the personal challenges they have faced both before and during the setup of the business. In addition, the barn is used for much more than just weddings, becoming a staple venue in the community it is based within. It works with local churches and worship musicians, lending its spectacular interiors and services to them for various shows and services. Also have used the barn and farm in general to host date nights for couples, strengthening marriages and relationships for its clients who can reconnect in the farm’s idyllic setting. Redeemed Farm also hosts women’s and men’s specific events. In terms of the actual venue and its individual areas, it can hold ceremonies in one of three beautiful spaces that can be tailored and individualised for a specific event. The first of these is the historic barn, one of the areas in the farm that has retained its 1930s cathedral grandeur despite the renovations. It is a 2-storey building with a vaulted ceiling and a grand staircase that allows for magnificent entrances that will leave attendees breathless. The second is the vineyard lawn; a beautifully cultivated and designed outdoor area complete with a stone archway, gate, and bridge, nestled in the Itasca vineyard. The final and newest setting is the stable, that was finished in 2020 – this area is a refined, romantic, and completely reimagined chapel inspired space. Separate from all of this is its reception and social hour area that allow guests to wait in comfort between the wedding the reception. In addition, it has a bridal cottage and groom’s quarters for getting ready in luxury and peace as part of the experience. Social hours are held in The Machine Shed, dinner is served in the Historic Barn’s main level, and dance nights are held in the Stable.
