In this episode, Jenny Leigh sits down with Gen Shaut and her daughter Natalia, the heart and soul behind Whitewall Farm Events in Honeybrook, PA. What started as a lifelong dream of owning an equestrian farm has blossomed into one of Chester County's most unique and charming event spaces — all set inside a stunning 285-year-old bank barn built in 1741.
Gen and Natalia share the full story: how a dinner conversation changed everything, what it really takes to run a 34-acre working horse farm, and how Whitewall Farm Events is opening its doors for weddings, corporate leadership retreats, birthday parties, fall festivals, and so much more.
They also open up about:
The Fairview Equestrian lesson and IEA program serving Coatesville, Shanahan, Twin Valley, Downingtown & more
The powerful bond between Natalia and her thoroughbred, Archie
Their equine-assisted corporate leadership program
A singles event with paranormal investigators (yes, really!)
Future dreams including Iron Horse whiskey made right on the farm
And why Gen feels like a curator — not an owner — of this historic property
Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind event venue, a place for your child to ride, or just a feel-good Chester County story, this episode is for you.
