Sweet Home Spun at the Dutch Meeting House
Pleasureville
Sweet Home Spun is a fiber art studio located in the historic Low Dutch Meetinghouse near Pleasureville, Ky. In 2005 Sam and JoAnn Adams acquired the original timbers of the Six Mile Meetinghouse, built by the early Dutch settlers in the region. The Meetinghouse was rebuilt on their farm and opened as a unique art and craft venue in November of 2005.
JoAnn, Sam and Samuel Adams are the fourth and fifth generation of Kentuckians to live on the family farm. Sam and JoAnn Adams moved to Sam’s family farm in 1979. Preserving the rural and historic nature of the farm has been their passion. Sam, JoAnn and their son Samuel live in the family farm house circa 1890. The friendly flock of Sweet Home Natural Longwool sheep graze the nearby pasture. Lambs are born each spring in the lambing barn behind the house.
Trackside Butcher Shoppe
Campbellsburg
Chris Wright and John Edwards grew up together in Trimble County, Kentucky. They both grew up on their grandfathers’ farms, acquiring a love for agriculture and valuing the life lessons it taught them. They graduated from Trimble County High School in 1998 and both began careers at AT&T, where they have worked together for 15 years.
Despite full-time jobs and growing families, both continued to farm part-time with hopes for a career in the field of agriculture. In October of 2013 a feasibility study was conducted by Kentucky Center for Agricultural and Rural Development. It revealed a great need for a meat processing facility in our area. Chris and John saw this as an opportunity, and two years and a lot of thanks to a lot of people later, Trackside Butcher Shoppe is becoming a reality.
