Nestled in the heart of Granger Township, The Bauman Barn stands on land rich with history — from Native American hunting grounds to dairy farms, champion ballplayers, and even alpacas.
Today, we’re proud to be the next chapter in the story of 926 Remsen Road — bringing back the spirit of farm animals, gardens, kids, and community that have always been at the heart of this land.
Our dream is simple: to grow, to gather, and to create a place where laughter, love, and farm-fresh goodness are always in season. 🌻🐐
Hi there, and thanks for stopping by!
We’re the Bauman family—just a bunch of dreamers, doers, dirt-diggers, and snack-givers making a life out here on our little patch of Granger.
I’m Cayla—mama to those two blonde cuties in the photo. That’s my husband, Craig. He’s the rational to my dreamer, the “let’s figure this out” to my “let’s just build it and see what happens,” and the brains behind every structure, system, and solution on the farm.
We both grew up right here in Highland Schools—me over in Sharon (class of 2009) and Craig in Granger (class of 2008). Funny enough, we didn’t really cross paths until 2012, but once we did, well… we were like two goats in a pen—inseparable and always cooking up some kind of plan or project (usually involving power tools, garden beds, or baked goods).
We tied the knot in a beautiful barn wedding in 2017 after both graduating from the University of Akron. That same year, we made the move from the city back to Granger, and just three years and one sweet baby later, we moved a mile down the road to this beautiful old farm. At the time, the place had been vacant for two years, and Mother Nature had definitely made herself at home. That first fall was spent knee-deep in vines, brush, and brambles—clearing paths, cutting down dead trees, and dreaming up what our first spring on the farm would look like.
If you’d like to see how far we’ve come, check out our Gallery Page—it’s full of photos from our first three years of animals, adventures, and big ol’ dreams with muddy boots.
Now, as we roll into our fourth full year here at The BB, I’m making sure Craig doesn’t get too comfortable—I’ve got plenty of projects still up my sleeve! This year, I’m expanding the garden into a flower farming venture, adding cut flowers to the fresh goodness we grow right here on the farm.
We’re so grateful to be part of such a wonderful, tight-knit community, and we hope to keep growing together—one bloom, one treat, and one baby goat at a time.
Our goal for the farm stand is to provide the community with a welcoming space to access fresh, local goods from our farm and neighboring small businesses. We hope to offer a chance to connect with others, enjoy the presence of our farm animals (if they’re not too busy causing mischief), and foster meaningful interactions among neighbors. Through this, we aim to bring the community closer—while also teaching our kids the importance of contributing their creativity and energy to something that benefits us all... and maybe even a little lesson in how to wrangle a goat if needed! Our long-term goals for the farm are as big as our love for this community! First off, we’d love to add some Highland cows to the mix—because honestly, what better mascot for our amazing Highland Local Schools than a Highland cow? Next, we’re working on bringing our beautiful barn back to its full glory and turning it into a venue that can host everything from casual weddings and community barn dancing lessons to farm festivals and even the most lavish barn weddings. We also want to become the local go-to for fresh, pasture-raised meat, so you can skip the grocery store and get your goodies straight from us. My husband and I have been a part of this community since we were in diapers, and our goal is to be a staple in the neighborhood until we’re back in diapers again. Here’s to growing and giving back to the place we’ve always called home!
