The History of The Hayshed

Can you see the old hayshed filled to the roof with sweet smelling cured bales of fodder?

Imagine the sweat and grit of those men who toiled in summer heat lumping each hay bale ever higher.

A yearly chore to provide sustenance to sheep and cattle during droughts and snowy winters.

The hayshed was constructed in the 1920’s by Bill Blunt and his team of workers. The huge yellow box posts were cut locally and dragged into position, stood by tractor, horse and manpower.

The roof timbers are Oregon – imported by ship from North America.

Not in his wildest dreams would Bill have imagined his construction, born out of agricultural necessity, re-birthed to celebrate love and commitment, promised by two, for life.

The Hayshed Weddings and Events is run by Bill’s great-grandson Nick and his wife Bec.
