History
The Stone Barn has been owned and operated by the Thomforde family for four generations. In 1922, Charles Thomforde established a working farm, planted an apple orchard, and kept honey bees. In 1958, his son Harold Thomforde began a catering service specializing in chicken barbeques. The business grew, and in 1962, Harold and his wife Elinor began the conversion of the old barn structure (c. 1800s) into a restaurant. Renovations were made using reclaimed antique brick, weathered cypress boards, and native fieldstone from old building ruins in the nearby countryside.
