In addition to Pizza Nights and events, Bill and Julie rent out the farm for weddings from May to November. “We offer a lot of perks, from tables and chairs for 200, access to our commercial kitchen for light prep, a lovely room for brides and attendants, yard games, the cute farm store, manicured grounds, and even some farm animals,” said Julie. There are six different locations on the farm for wedding ceremonies, and the grounds boast abundant natural light, as well as fire pits, plenty of parking, and even optional hay rides. “Some weddings are small, some weddings welcome over 300 guests,” said Julie. “And there’s a perfect place for your rented tent, if you like that vibe.” The couple is committed to the growth of their employees, helping them
master many different roles of service. The Rosses will soon host an Enneagram personality training. “We love people, and we love playing a role in helping them create wonderful memories,” said Julie. For Bill and Julie, it’s all about community. “We aspire to create an atmosphere for family and friends to grow, celebrate, and build quality relationships—as well as contributing to building our Brookings community,” revealed Julie.
