Bill and Judie both grew up in farming families with the lifestyle deeply ingrained in their upbringing. As children, they assisted with farm duties — milking cows, feeding animals, collecting eggs, building and mending fences, checking cows and calves, shucking corn, and looking after sheep during lambing season in the harsh January winters. Bill grew up on his family’s farm which dates back to the mid 1700s.
In 2013, restoration began on a two-story, hand-hewn log cabin that stood on the property dating back to 1820. Shortly after starting the renovation, Bill and Judie purchased a 1795 two-story log cabin in nearby Middlebrook, with intentions on creating a bed and breakfast. They dismantled the original log cabin, log by log, and had it transported to Swoope. As Judie anxiously watched every exterior board being removed, she thought, “If only these walls could talk!”
The renovations and updates to the adjoining cabins were completed in 2018. The Inn at MeadowCroft opened to delight guests with this beautiful, historic property.
Sadly Judie passed in 2023. Bill continues the Pickle Factory and The Inn as her legacies.
