On Saturday, January 16 at 11 a.m., the second floor and roof beams of the new wine barn at Terhune Orchards will be constructed.

Early in December 2015, the site was cleared and the foundation was laid for the 3,500 square foot barn. Framing for the first story is now complete. The Sylvan Stoltzfus Builders from Lancaster, Pa. are building the barn in the traditional timber frame style. In 2009, they constructed another barn at Terhune that is used for cold storage of crops. This new barn will look similar to the farm’s original red barn that is close to 200 years old. It currently houses the winery tasting room. 

Situated close to the parking area, this new building will be a hub of activity at the farm, housing an expanded wine production facility. While traditional in its construction methods using wooden pegs rather than nails, the new building will also utilize modern elements such as solar panels and other ways to be sustainable in energy and water usage.

Terhune Orchards is located at 330 Cold Soil Road in Princeton. The farm store is open daily, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the winery is open Friday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Learn more at www.terhuneorchards.com.
