Overlooking the rolling hills of Teetering Rocks is The Yellow Rock Barn.

Truman. Today, the property consists of three event space barns and the Messner Bee Farm, where husband-and-wife duo Rachael and Erik Messner keep bees and use the honey to make beeswax candles, beard oil and lip balm, all for sale at the farm store located on-site.

For over 25 years, the two local businesses have offered customers top-of-the-line printing services and a cup of coffee or specialty latte while they wait.
