The Barn Yard Blog

Winter is fast approaching and the crew at The Barn Yard is not ready to slow down anytime soon. It will be a busy winter season as the crew continues to build custom barns and garages all throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts. On the list are post and beam barns, hybrid timber framed garages, conventionally framed buildings, and commercial projects.

We sure had fun carving the brand into our pumpkins and hope you did too! Read more to see all the pumpkins that were "branded" with quality. Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Our 2nd annual Fall Festival was a glowing success! Thanks to all who visited and got a free pumpkin, carving template, and Hummel hot dog. It was fun to see everyone and we hope to see many of the pumpkins glowing on doorsteps this season, and maybe even some with the brand carved in them!

Our display at the Big E is just about ready for Friday's opening day. Just take a look at these photos and be amazed. It's our 30th year at the Big E and we intend to make it the best yet!

Barn Yard co-owner Chris Skinner looks forward all year to setting up for the Big E. It's his favorite time of year. Even though technically Assistant Vice President of the company, you'll still find Chris backing up the trucks and using the forklift to position the sheds just right.

As this year will be our 30th year at the Big E, we're looking through the archives and remembering years past. Let's take a quick look at The Barn Yard at the Big E, circa 2005, when we were joined by Kara Wolters.

We had a team building and company outing on Friday. It was great to enjoy everyone's company without the usual distractions of...well, work! We talked about the current state of The Barn Yard, thought of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, & threats, listened to a motivational speaker, and worked together on a creative cover story contest. Of course, we also took group photos. Here is the entire TBY team, all proud to be working for the brand!
