Monday Menu: Food Truck Trend & Construction Update

 UPDATE: THE CELEBRATION BARN 
UNDER CONSTRUCTION 
We have started working on the interior of the Celebration Barn. The walls are tongue and grove panels that have been painted a "barely" color. The natural color creates a nice backdrop for our beams. The beams were originally part of a 1871 Amish barn from Lancaster County, PA and after 142 years they have found a new home at Cloudland Station.

We will have beautiful iron chandeliers suspended from the ceilings and elegant sconces on the walls. The barn will also be filled with lots of natural light from our numerous windows on all sides of the barn.  We will have a lofted space on one end of the barn to allow for extra seating or a great place to toss the bouquet and garter.If you are interested in touring the property please contact us at homesteadcloudlandstation@gmail.com.

Monday Menu: Food Truck Trend.
The history of food trucks dates back to about the time our barn was first built (1866). The original food truck was called a chuckwagon and it was used as a mobile kitchen on the prairies of the US.

The modern day chuckwagon is referred to as a "food truck".   Recently food trucks have gone from "festival food" to "gourmet food". Food trucks have also become a big trend at weddings and are a fun way to serve your guests at your reception.

Offer the food truck as a station at the wedding and serve tacos, mini hamburgers, barbeque, etc. Do you love sweets? Replace the dessert bar with a food truck serving soft serve, donuts, cupcakes, etc. 

Surprise your guests with a unique reception experience. Do you still want a traditional dinner reception? Offer a food truck as a late night snack option and have them arrive close to the end of the reception.
