Congrats to the Scotts!! 💍

It was a privilege to host Jenna Scott & Cody Scott surrounded by their friends and family as they tied the knot this past weekend here at Shallowbrook Farm. What a great group of people and I wish you both all the best!

Many thanks to Katie Zumwalt as the wedding planner who pitched in wherever she was needed to ensure the day went smooth! I will definitely be recommending her to couples that inquire with Shallowbrook. There are a lot of details on your big day and having someone like Katie to oversee can make a world of a difference.

Please message me through Facebook or the business line at 309.883.6628 to schedule a tour of the venue and book your special day! This summer only has 1️⃣ open weekend remaining and summer of 2027 is filling up quickly.

‼️📣Homegrown Roots & A New Chapter for Shallowbrook Farm!

Exciting things are happening in Bradford! I am honored to announce that Shallowbrook Farm—the iconic 10-bedroom private estate—is officially under new ownership.

This transition is deeply personal for me. Having grown up in this area, I spent time at Shallowbrook as a kid and carry some of my favorite memories within these walls. It was a true privilege to shake hands with the Welsh family as I took the keys to a place that meant so much to me growing up.🗝️

I want to extend a sincere thank you to Robert Welsh for his trust and the opportunity to carry his family's incredible legacy forward. I also want to recognize Kevin Williams and Martin Beam—the previous property managers whose help and guidance have been invaluable during this transition. To our locals, I am fully committed to making Shallowbrook a premier success while honoring the history that built this estate.

What’s Next? While our private pool, sports courts, and grand manor are ready for guests, we are also beginning a series of exciting renovations to elevate the estate further! 🛠️✨ Stay tuned to follow the journey on YouTube and witness the behind the scenes transformation.🎥

Whether you’re planning a wedding, a family reunion/vacation, or a corporate retreat, the gates are open and we are ready to host you! You can find our listing and book your dates through the below platforms:

Bradford is having town wide yard sales this Saturday, June 7 and the BBQ sale at the fire department. Im going to open up shop out at the barn at Shallowbrook Farm Retreat & Conference Center from 8-12 that day. Feel free to come visit and hopefully you'll come across something that you'd love to take home with you. Right it's just me, but I'm going to hit up a few folks to see if they would like to set up with their items too. Look forward to seeing you out this Saturday, June 7! Back barn on the driveway closest to the railroad tracks.
