We love the way the barn's lighting changes throughout the day!

If you're dreaming of a spring, summer, or fall wedding this year or next, please reach out to us, we'd be happy to give you a tour.

Exciting news for Roann! In-Laws Catering & Creamery is located just over three miles away. Great local option for Dear John Acres weddings and events!

Big announcement!
Opening Thursday May 18th

I’d like to introduce In-Laws Catering and Creamery, brought to you by June Haecker (Mother-in-law) and Larry McClelland (Son-in-law). We are really looking forward to bringing quality ice cream and catering to a quality town.

The time has finally come and we will be opening our doors this Thursday, May 18th at 11am. We will start with ice cream, baked goods, and whatever other treats pop into our heads. We have a lot of big ideas, but would like to perfect the small things first. Continue to watch for posted specials, like smoked meats and breakfast handhelds. We look forward to serving the town of Roann and the surrounding communities. Feel free to hit us up for any of your catering needs. Graduation parties are right around the corner!
