Winterberry Farm, is the “Farm that Feeds the Soul.” Purchased at auction three years ago, Sabrina Schnappet has a vision of adaptive reuse for this farmstead, which dates back to the 1830s. One of the oldest farms in Seneca County, it was a land grant from President James Monroe in 1924. The main barn was the first to be built in the 1830s, but received a Greek Revival update in the 1920s to “match” the Greek Revival House. Outbuildings were added over the years, including a chapel in the 1880s. The property is now in the process of being listed on the National Register.
Its new life will be an event center, allowing thousands of people to enjoy the tranquility of the farmstead while attending weddings, workshops, retreats, or craft fairs. Founder Sabrina Schneppat is committed nurturing every visitor to the farm.
