CASSIDY MERCANTILE, OPENING TO THE PUBLIC BEGINNING OF DECEMBER

Hello friends, Hollie and I are coming to you today to finally announce what is next for Cassidy Station. We have been working on restoring the historic farmstead of Cassidy Station since early 2022 and will be opening it to the public at the beginning of December. Cassidy Station sits on one of two farmsteads on our family farm, which is a century farm passed down for generations within the Estes family. We began working on this heritage project to celebrate the 150 year anniversary of Estes Farms by preserving the rich history it holds and maintaining the rural lifestyle Christian County was founded upon.

The first phase of Cassidy Station will be Cassidy Mercantile and will be open to the public at the beginning of December. While the Mercantile will begin the opening phase of Cassidy Station, there are additional, exciting phases coming in the Spring. The Mercantile will offer housewares, home decor, gifts, and a curated collection of items that are hard to find and of good quality— including lots of handmade and local products. Future phases of the project will include a boutique Airbnb, flower shop, meat shop, garden shop, and multiple event spaces. The coming phases will allow the community experiences at the farm consisting of special events, indoor and outdoor venues, markets, animals, and more. The concept will be interactive with activities for everyone, perfect for creating memories with loved ones on the farm.

This farm is my heritage. Growing up on the farm was a different way of life. It has been my life’s passion to ensure others can share in these farm-life experiences. Everything we’ve done leading up until now has been to ensure that Estes Farms continues on for generations to come. We want it to feel like you are coming to visit grandma's house upon each and every visit; since Cassidy Station sits on Estes Farms— a true working farm.

Cassidy Station is located on the south side of State Highway CC in Christian County. This area was originally settled in the 1870’s when our family came from Kentucky to the Cassidy area. The town of Cassidy has since faded as surrounding areas continue to develop. With major developments happening around the area now known as Ozark, Hollie and I wanted to preserve as much of the farm and original identity of the community as possible while providing impactful experiences for all who visit.

Attention Nixa Community Leaders and Local Media: You’re invited to attend either/both of these upcoming open houses. These are public events and we appreciate you helping to get the word out and encouraging the public to attend. As the City of Nixa tries to determine how to address some of the city’s most expensive unfunded needs, we are hosting these open houses as a way to explain and educate the public about those needs and to engage the public in discussions about how best to address these challenges and growing pains. Our city’s population doubled from the year 2000 (pop. 12,000) to 2021 (pop. 24,000), and that means there’s more demand than ever for police and parks services.

PARKS OPEN HOUSE: We love Nixa Parks! Come explore and share ideas on how we can improve our parks and facilities to meet the future needs and demands of our growing community.
You’re invited to join us for an open house at The X Center on Thursday August 4, 2022 from 6pm-8pm.
Presentation at 6:30pm to be followed by guided tours of The X Center. Snacks and light refreshments provided.
Join us as we discuss the future of the Nixa Parks & Recreation Department, learn more about exciting projects in the works, and share ideas for how to overcome challenges to make Nixa a great parks and recreation destination.

POLICE OPEN HOUSE: We are grateful for the Nixa Police Department and all they do to serve and protect our community. Our department does a great job, but they are in need of more staff and facility space to accommodate the existing staff, not to mention the staff we need to add to keep up with our community growth.
Come explore our police department headquarters to see first-hand how we have outgrown our space. Hear from Chief Campbell as he explains what the department needs in order to meet the demands of our growing community.
You’re invited to join us for an open house at the Nixa Police Department on Tuesday August 16, 2022 from 6pm-8pm.
Presentation at 6:30pm to be followed by guided tours of the Police Department. Snacks and light refreshments provided.
