“National Barn of the Year”
The design of our main barn (made specifically to house our honey and herb-drying operations and to mimic the nostalgic look of a traditional red barn with white crossbucks) was recently selected nationally for a "Barn of the Year" award. Thank you Wicks, the manufacturer, for selecting Mockingbird Meadows at its national meeting and a great thanks to local builder EvCo Structures in Mechanicsburg, Ohio, for making our vision a reality.
