About the host: The Barns at Lang Farm
The Lang property was a fully operational dairy farm until 1986. The first venture outside of dairy farming was the garden shop, which was opened in 1990. Following the garden shop, Jon Lang and his wife, Debbie, decided to creatively restore the English style post and beam structures (which date from the late 1890's) as a way to share the beauty of the location with the public while also meeting contemporary needs.
The first wedding
barn opened in September of 2008 and they have hosted over 130 weddings to date (approximately 25 to 30 events a year). The antique shop opened in the spring of 2009. It is a multi-dealer shop that sources from state auctions, private sales, and antique shows, to name a few. In addition to the nursery and even facilities, Jon and Debbie now also manage an antique shop and an 18-hole golf course.
In the spring of 2015 they opened their latest venture, The Garden
Barn, the
August 18th location of the Chamber's Summer Garden Party. Check out the Great Room with its post and beam ceilings that was built with magnificent views of the mountains for indoor ceremonies, cocktails or any other uses you could imagine. The exterior is wrapped with a massive Great Camp wide porch with massive cedar post logs for outside entertainment and socializing. The Garden
Barn seats 125 in the Main Room and is open year round. Plan your cooking classes, fund raisers, corporate events, parties, and any other type of entertainment for this one of a kind event space conveniently located in Essex.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: TRANSITION II
|
Transition II, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization that has provided the Chittenden County business community with quality employees for 35 years. Employment consultants are dedicated to matching workforce needs with an individual's skills and interests, while providing both parties with consultation, information, and ongoing support. We are able to save businesses time and money by prescreening potential candidates and helping to assure a successful, long-term match. Employees with disabilities demonstrate above-average punctuality and attendance on the job, remain in jobs longer than their peers and often meet or exceed them in job performance, motivation, and job satisfaction. This results in reduced turn-over and greater retention of experienced, well-trained employees
