Buhl Barn Event Center

Twin Falls County Farmer Rick Pearson and his wife bought a farm in Buhl, Idaho which had an old barn on it. With innovative thinking, they started using the barn for private events. Here’s Rick: “Obviously in the past it was a milking barn and a hay storage barn. In recent years it was used for a few events.”

Did you guys think that you would be renting it out when you bought this place? “That was the furthest thing from my mind. I was actually sitting in a Farm Bureau meeting one night, the Women’s committee chairman was sitting beside me, and she said I’m getting married and there’s this barn that I want to get married in, but they tell me that it’s tied up in a transaction, it’s being sold. And I said where’s the barn at? And she went on to tell me, and I said give me a couple weeks and I’ll let you know if you can get married there… laughs – So they were actually our first wedding, was the women’s chair for Twin Falls County Farm Bureau. And then it’s just expanded from there.”

“My wife has kind of taken it up and has gotten to where she kind of enjoys it, so it’s her deal.”

“We probably have 10 to 15 a year and I think she’s already got that much booked for next year. Mostly weddings… we’ve had some proms here, high school proms, some 4H - FFA benefit dinners, some quinceaneras, we’ve had a couple of those, a couple birthday parties.”
