We're incredibly excited to announce that Shipshewana Trading Place has earned a 2026 International MarCom GOLD Award for our Farmstead Inn Signature Experiences in the Special Event category! 💛

With more than 6,000 entries from around the world, this recognition celebrates the creativity, collaboration, and vision behind something truly special.

What began as an idea from our Farmstead Inn team—to create more meaningful guest experiences—has grown into a collection of thoughtfully designed retreats, workshops, getaways, and gatherings that offer more than just a stay.

And the best part? We're just getting started!
