Originally, Zekiah Ridge was a 120-acre tobacco farm, with a barn that was built in the 1930s, with doors on all four sides and ventilation panels to allow the tobacco to cure before sending to market. Bliss\u2019s father\u2019s wish for the property was to keep it as a farm, and in order to do that, the farm was placed in a Rural Legacy so the property cannot be subdivided and built upon. Currently, Bliss and a nephew live on the farm.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Bliss\u2019s dad called her asking about using the barn for her niece\u2019s wedding, but the barn needed a lot of work. Bliss recalled, \u201cI said, Dad, we can\u2019t do that unless we\u2019re willing to put some money into it.\u201d So, as a wedding gift, her dad helped with some of the cost to renovate the barn, and Bliss covered the rest, with the agreement that she would open up a wedding venue.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In 2015, they went before the Special Exception Board to open an event venue in a farm building. The permit process took 6 years, as Charles County didn\u2019t have a definition for agritourism at the time. The event venue was submitted under \u201cclubs\u201d. Bliss said, \u201cToday, I believe we\u2019re the first legally licensed, permitted tobacco barn in Charles County.\u201d The event venue was fully licensed in 2021.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BLISS_IN_THE_BARN\"><\/span><strong>BLISS IN THE BARN<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"206\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/espacestudio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1659468530_165_It-started-with-a-Tobacco-Barn-The-Southern-Maryland.png?resize=206%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234095\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bliss in the Barn is a rustic, quiet, and welcoming choice for a wedding and reception, family gathering, or corporate event. The barn is over 1,700 square feet in space with an additional 1,000 square feet of a covered portico. The tables and benches are handmade from barn beams and reclaimed wood fencing. There is a true sense of open space and natural elements, yet the soaring ceilings provide protection from the elements. The Barn can be decorated in any way one\u2019s imagination allows. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The adjacent field can accommodate any size tent and is perfect for a reception or after-party. There are acres of land available for lawn games, parking, and watching the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>They have a micro wedding package, where they pretty much do everything\u2014the catering, flowers, decorations, and set up and clean up. Bliss said, \u201cYou just show up with your officiant and photographer. We handle everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HAND-PICKED_CUT_FLOWERS\"><\/span><strong>HAND-PICKED CUT FLOWERS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>In 2020, Bliss and her niece and nephew decided to see what they could grow on the farm. They added cut flowers to their crops, which brings the entire family together to till, plant, maintain, cut, and package the cut flowers, which include peonies, dahlias, ranunculus, coneflowers, lavender, sunflowers, phlox, lisianthus, delphinium, asters, zinnias. and more.<\/p>\n<p>Bliss sells bouquets at the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LaPlataFarmersMarket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">La Plata Farmers Market<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HFFMeats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hancock Family Farms<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in La Plata, and\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicksofclinton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Nicks Of Clinton<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicksofcalvert.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Nicks Of Calvert<\/a><\/strong>, \u00a0and she takes orders online at\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/southernmarylandchronicle.com\/2022\/08\/01\/it-started-with-a-tobacco-barn\/mailto:zekiahridgefarm@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">zekiahridgefarm@gmail.com<\/a><\/strong>.

I think we have a very unique situation here with our farm because it provides income for more than just our family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, they\u2019re going to open a nonprofit to help veterans with rehabilitation. \u201cThey can have their own flower patch, or we can invite people in to make their own bouquets, things like that,\u201d said Bliss. \u00a0They also host a Bottles and Blooms event with a local winery and have two rental houses on the farm. \u00a0\u201cSo, we\u2019re creating multiple sources of income as well as taking care of the public,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>This September, Bliss in the Barn will host a\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blissinthebarn.com\/event-details\/dining-at-zekiah-ridge-farm-to-table-event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dining at Zekiah Ridge Farm to Table event<\/a><\/strong>, with the goal of supporting farmers and what they contribute locally.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a true farm-to-table event where all the farms are contributing,\u201d said Bliss. \u201cThe reason I want to do that is, I think a lot of people think they don\u2019t need to worry about vegetables\u2013they come from Safeway. Or, they can always get meat. But, no, you can\u2019t always get meat. Farms are declining, but we really need farms. With the situation with the gas prices and transporting goods, it makes more sense to go to the farmers market and buy your vegetables for the week than go to the grocery store where they\u2019ve been trucked in from Florida. You need to support where you live.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"COMING_BACK_TO_THE_FARM\"><\/span><strong>COMING BACK TO THE FARM<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Coming back to the farm and making a life on it wasn\u2019t exactly what Bliss always had in mind as a successful career woman. Trained as a pipefitter, she worked in commercial construction until she was 42 and her business was bought out. She and her husband thought they\u2019d move close to the water, but at 54, he was diagnosed with dementia and lived 5 years. \u201cThat really was life-changing,\u201d said Bliss. \u201cAll of our plans changed. I really had to reinvent myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, if my husband hadn\u2019t passed away, I wouldn\u2019t be here,\u201d she said. \u00a0\u201cSometimes God just gives you a different direction, and you have to get on board. Our farm will benefit people through our work, the flowers, and even opening up our farm so that people can make experiences with their families. Because we have a lot of memories here. People should have memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;appId=249643311490&version=v2.3\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/southernmarylandchronicle.com\/2022\/08\/01\/it-started-with-a-tobacco-barn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barn wedding venues have grown in popularity over the past several years, and when Cindy Bliss found herself back on the family farm, as well as the owner of a spacious, authentic tobacco barn, she made it a source of income as the only permitted tobacco barn for events and weddings in Charles County.
