When Stephanie McCulley, and her husband, Drew McCulley, bought their property at Valhalla Farms, formerly the Siders Bluberry Farm located at 6254 W. 200 North outside of Rochester, they knew they wanted to do more than just sell blueberries.
From selling their farm fresh beef and steaks, jam, honey, salsa, mustard and more, the farm owners also had spirituality on their minds.
For the fourth year, Valhalla Farms have made Blueberry Church a reality, welcoming people to worship in nature again this Sunday, June 30.
Church starts on Sunday at the farm at 8 a.m. and will be headed by pastor Brian Sewell of Whippoorwill Church from rural Rochester.
McCulley said anyone is welcome to the service, whether they be church members, or not.
McCulley did ask that those attend this Sunday to bring their own chairs.
Despite being in the middle of the rainy season, McCulley said the past few years have always seemed to have dry weather for their Sunday event at the farm.
Hoping to be blessed this Sunday as well, McCulley said that this Sunday's weather seems to be holding the same pattern as the previous years.
