He said their excitement for the project fulfilled him with joy during a difficult time. “At same time we want to inform our customers and be as transparent as possible, so that they know where our heart is and what we’re trying to do for them, but also it may not be here for them to enjoy the season like we intended,” said Dull.ĭull said he is not only grateful for the immense support from friends, community members and even strangers, but also his own family, including his children. “We were super excited about it because it had turned out really well and we had really high hopes for what it was going to add to the experience for people who come out to the farm during the fall season,” said Dull.ĭull said they are hoping for a “miraculous way to reassemble and rebuild,” but he knows that could depend on a variety of factors. Dull said he couldn’t wait to show the farm’s visitors the new activity that allows for not only children, but the entire family to join in on the fun together. He estimates that the entire project was at least 1,000 hours worth of manpower - something that was well worth it for the joy it could bring to countless people. We love watching people enjoy these things when they come visit the farm.” “We really enjoy the long hours spent on projects like this because we know the fruitfulness of it. “Being a family business and the size of the business that we are, we don’t just come up with an idea and pass it off to someone to make it a reality, we get to participate in that,” said Dull. They were brought out in the spring and put into place, and throughout the summer, the different elements connecting the buildings were assembled. Starting this past January, Dull said he worked alongside his dad and a family friend who works on the farm, to begin putting buildings together.

Not only was it highly anticipated, but it was built from a labor of love.
