Farmesilla Sold to Icebox Brewing
I saw the post, didn’t read it all and totally missed that Farmesilla has been sold to Icebox Brewing.
As the new year rolls around, there will be some big changes at FARMesilla! As many of you have already heard, Icebox Brewing Co. has acquired FARMesilla. Icebox is a great local company that has the team to lead FARMesilla into the future. While there will be some changes, our customers can expect many of the same friendly staff. Most importantly, Chef Becky will continue running the kitchen and will continue to offer her amazing creations. On behalf of myself and our staff it has been a pleasure bringing you the best local product and cuisine for 7 years. What started as a crazy idea turned into a great place for friends and family to gather. This place is filled with many memories.
We will be open for business this coming Monday and Tuesday and will maintain normal business hours from December 17th through December 23rd, at which time the store will be closing, as we have completed the sale of the property to Icebox Brewing Company. Starting in early 2026, FARMesilla will reopen under the Icebox banner; the reopening will feature fresh updates and an exciting future.
Happy Holidays,
TJ Runyan
