Scene + Heard: Tea and tales at the Bruentrup Heritage Farm in Maplewood

It wasn’t tea for two, it was tea for 125.

That’s the age of the historic Bruentrup Heritage Farm in Maplewood. At the farmhouse, the centerpiece of the 2½-acre family farm, tea was served to celebrate the long-ago lifestyle the farm represents.

Guests also were treated to a five-course meal and a history lesson from Maplewood Area Historical Society volunteers, including several Bruentrup family members. The tales transported guests to a simpler time.
