A Taste of the Farm at The Old Red Barn
How it all started…

After being used for over 20 years as a milking barn for dairy cows, The Old Red Barn was reinvented in 2017 with a new purpose… Providing guests with a one-of-a-kind “taste of the farm” dining experience!

Owners Matt & Melissa Schur started The Old Red Barn Ltd. with a simple vision – for all consumers to trust and prefer Canadian made food products. By combining Melissa’s passion for agriculture and food education, with Matt’s passion for local dining and hospitality, they transformed an old 1950’s barn on Melissa’s parents’ property into something very special. The whole community pitched in – family, friends, and even the local church – to breathe new life back into the barn. The Old Red Barn is located on Glen Park Holstein dairy farm where Melissa grew up, and is owned by Rudy & Karen Gengler.

You really have to see (and taste!) what The Old Red Barn has to offer to fully understand just how incredible this space is. Watch the video to below to hear from the owners themselves as they share how The Old Red Barn came to be…
