Monday-Friday 9-6, Saturday 9-5, Sunday 12-5 RICHMOND STREET NORTH Just 10 Minutes from Masonville at 15 Mile Road 519-666-0286 The Crump Family Farm – Repurposes and Upcycles by Pamma Hubbert Five years ago, Vivian and Chris Crump transformed their family farm into a visitor-friendly space. “We had to clean and change the farm, following our kids’ instructions,” Vivian explains. Chris took wetland courses, and they connected with conservation organizations. Together, they planted 3,000 trees and created wetlands and grass waterways to prevent erosion, attracting over 40 species of birds. She had been looking for a new, unique business venture, and importing Amish-made solid wood furniture to the London area certainly fit the bill. “If I gave you the whole history of the business, you could write a little book,” Marilyn said with a smile. “It’s just been great. People know us and contact us from all over. It’s a great feeling to know customers appreciate the kind of quality we offer.” On their farm, the Crumps are always finding creative ways to repurpose and upcycle. “When you come to the store, you’ll see that we’ve given many objects a new life,” says Vivian. Her passion for sewing shines through in her work, as she’s often altering clothing for her grandchildren or turning thrifted hoodies into farm-themed gifts. The Crumps also renovated one of their barns into a dedicated “kid’s barn.” They turned the top of a wagon into a popular sandbox and set up an art corner where kids could paint and draw. “It’s all about creating memories, just like the petting zoo we chose for our children,” Vivian reflects. As a family-owned Canadian company, Marilyn and her son and partner Dan have prided themselves on offering a large selection of solid wood furniture for the bedroom, office, kitchen, living room, dining room, kids’ rooms, and more. Customers can choose from a variety of pieces showcased throughout the 3,500 sq. ft. showroom, or have a piece made to order by selecting the type of wood, stain colour and hardware. All furniture at This Oak House is finished using the finest stains and catalyzed varnish, which withstands moisture and will continue to protect the surface for years to come.

Teaming up with Sam, a fellow vintage enthusiast, the Crumps hosted a vintage fashion show. “Thank you to the vendors who took a chance with us,” says Vivian. It’s clear that for the Crumps, farm life, creativity, and com- munity go hand-in-hand. The Amish pass down their traditional methods through the generations of furniture makers. It’s those quality methods and principles that ensure the pieces they produce last for decades. What’s more, Marilyn maintains it’s the builders themselves that really set the products sold at This Oak House apart from the crowd. “We do have quite a unique product,” she said. “There are tons of styles to choose from, from elegant to modern to rustic.” It’s that special edge which has continued to bring customers back to This Oak House – now more than ever. Making an investment with This Oak House by Whitney South When Marilyn Moore first opened This Oak House back in 1998 — it was meant to be.
