About UsThe Barn at Heritage Farm is a family owned farm business. The farm has been in the family for 6 consecutive generations ranging in use of tobacco, cattle, corn, soybeans and now fresh eggs and social events. We love coming up the drive and seeing the beautiful view of Pilot Mountain, so we wanted to share that with others!
We are one of North Carolina's few centennial farms still operating in the agricultural and agritourism business. Heritage Farm has been an active Surry Co. farm dating back to 1908. We currently use around 20 acres for rotating corn and soybeans, 15 acres for baling hay, a chicken coop where we gather farm fresh eggs for our 1940s Airbnb farmhouse, and a farm pond. You can learn more about our farm by visiting our website and following us on Facebook and Instagram. |
Who We Are |
John and Jessica Jonczak knew from the very beginning that they wanted to create something great - something that would create a fun atmosphere for everyone. John has had years of experience working within a community and organizing town events. In 2011, when John met Jessica, a teacher who also loves giving back to the community and organizing events, it was a match made in Heaven... they just didn't know exactly how in a few years they would each be using their talents.
Jessica spent the first 2 decades of her life in Dobson - attending local tractor pulls, working in her family's chicken houses, bottle feeding baby calves, picking and canning green beans with her grandmother and great grandmother, learning to drive tractors and just being a kid in the country. Now, several years ago, Jessica inherited a part of her family farm that was once her great grandfather's tobacco field. The idea that the community needed something that would bring the town together, while still keeping true to the country lifestyle of Dobson, Jessica and John decided to take a chance, quit their jobs and build a dream....in the shape of a Barn. Goodbye corporate world and hello to a quiet farm life! This barn, located and used on the family owned farm, can be utilized by the community to hold fundraisers, social and school events, and can create more community involvement like Easter Egg hunts, consignment sales, benefit dinners, family celebrations, weddings, parties and SO MUCH MORE. The Barn at Heritage Farm is more than just a barn - it's a connection between family, friends and community - a connection brought together by the love and desire to see agriculture appreciated and shared as it should be. |
Our History |
Construction began on the barn back in September of 2015. The building process started off slowly as wet weather became a major issue. However, things really picked up by early spring of 2016. We have hosted over 1,000 events since we've opened and plan to host several thousand more! Thank you for your support over the years!
