Snowy days were made for gallery organization. ❄️☃️

Viewing wedding galleries is one of our favorite things to do. The behind the scenes look at a wedding day from start to finish. Those first details of the day to the dance floor shots and everything in between.

If you were a 2025 Centennial Farm bride, we’d love to see + share your wedding photos.🤍

As Thanksgiving comes to a close and we wrap up a weekend of shopping and supporting small businesses, we find ourselves reflecting on our first year in operation with so much gratitude.

Our first wedding season officially ends next weekend, and as business owners, we can’t help but feel incredibly thankful-thankful for this opportunity, for our family and friends, for the businesses that helped bring Centennial Farm to life, and for every couple and guest who has shared their special moments with us.

Small Business Saturday always makes me a bit sentimental. So many small business owners pour their hearts and souls into the holiday season-providing services and goods for their communities while supporting their own families. This holiday season, help keep your favorite small businesses thriving by choosing to shop small whenever you can. Remember, you’re supporting someone’s dream!

Enjoy this blast from the past from when the farm was purchased. Centennial Farm has come a long way and has a long way to go and we couldn’t do it without all of you. 🫶🏻

Thanks to Phyllis from FarmWeek for coming out to chat about Centennial Farm! We loved sharing how we got here, where we’re headed, and how we plan to stay involved in the ag community.

Throughout the year, we've introduced FarmWeek readers to Illinois Farm Bureau Young Leaders from across the state.

Our final installment of the series features Austin and Kelsey Granby, who fell in love with the wedding industry while planning their own event in the turbulent days of the COVID pandemic in the fall of 2020.

Now they've turned that passion into a business, running Centennial Farm on the Ridge, a wedding venue in Grand Ridge near Streator in LaSalle County. The two Young Leaders envision the idyllic setting becoming a center of their community and hosting a variety of gatherings, including farm meetings.

Their next venture is planning an event for FFA members in the region — including LaSalle and Kendall-Grundy counties — at the wedding venue to learn more about Young Leader opportunities with fun activities.

“We want to be a community center,” Austin Granby tells FarmWeek's Phyllis Coulter. “We’re just getting started.”
