The Throne Room: How Stuckey Farm Built Bathroom Trailers Worth Talking About

Angie Day •  September  30, 2025

When guests rave about your… bathrooms, you know you’re onto something. At Stuckey Farm, what started as one dad’s firm “no” to porta-potties has grown into Agritourism Solutions—a build shop that designs and customizes luxury bathroom trailers purpose-built for farms. We caught up with Jordan Pierce to talk origin story, design choices, build timelines, guest reactions, and what’s next.


“My dad said, ‘Build me a bathroom trailer—and make it nice enough that guests leave surprised they just had a great bathroom experience… on a farm.’” — Jordan Pierce

Origin Story & Inspiration

What inspired you to build bathroom trailers on the farm?
Like many farms, we felt stuck with porta-potties—and my dad hated them. One day he came to me and said, “Build me a bathroom trailer and make it nice so guests are pleasantly surprised they had a good bathroom experience at a farm.” That was the spark.


Any unusual inspirations that shaped the concept?
Our family has some background in remodeling and house flipping, so we asked, what would a bathroom feel like if it were in your home? That residential mindset drives our choices.


Design & Functionality

Walk us through the designs.
We currently offer three base layouts for 32' trailers and two for 18', and then we customize from there. Recently we built a trailer with 8 women’s stalls and 2 men’s stalls plus a removable wall so it can convert to women-only in the future. Beyond layout, clients chose flooring, light fixtures, vanities, sink styles, and colors—down to the details. These are truly built to order.


Standard features you won’t compromise on?
All trailers are fully insulated with luxury vinyl plank flooring, and we spec extended tongues (so if someone jackknifes the trailer, they won’t slam into the fresh corner you just paid for). We only use high-quality materials. These are luxury bathroom trailers—we want buyers to feel a touch of the same luxury their guests will feel.


How do you decide on finishes—lighting, sinks, stalls?
We sit down with each farm and pick everything together so the trailer matches their brand. Exterior colors can be customized too—and if nothing fits, we can vinyl wrap the trailer.


These are basically made to exact order for other farms.


Building & Logistics

What does the build process look like—from concept to completion?
Once the deposit lands, it’s about 9 weeks for the shell and 3 weeks for our interior build-out.


Any challenges—weather, budget, permitting, technical issues?
Our workshop fits two 32-footers side-by-side, so weather’s not a problem. Permitting hasn’t been an issue because the units are portable.


How long did the very first build take—and how about now?
Our first farm trailer took about 5 weeks to finish out. Now that we’ve got our rhythm, it’s about 3 weeks to complete interiors once the shell arrives.


Function & Farm Fit

How do the trailers change the flow at events?
Porta-potties can feel like a “negative” guests tolerate. With our trailers, people come out smiling—and talking about how nice the bathroom was. Five years ago I wouldn’t have believed I’d hear guests discussing bathrooms at Stuckey Farm… yet here we are.


Permanent or mobile?

Best case, you tie into an existing septic field. But there are options: we can pump into fertilizer tanks that your septic service empties, and we can build onboard tanks when needed.


Capacity & maintenance?
An optimized 32' trailer with 8 women’s stalls, 3 urinals, and 1 men’s stall can comfortably move ~6,500 people in a weekend with little to no wait. Maintenance is surprisingly light—sweep occasionally, restock TP. Because the space feels upscale, guests tend to keep it clean. We also include toiletry containers to cut down on clogs.


Guest Experience & Reactions

What are you hearing from guests and staff?
Our staff bathrooms are permanent… and staff still choose the trailer. Guests tell friends in line they have to “go in there and try it.”


Any surprises?
We overbuild and oversize the plumbing, and maintenance has stayed much lower than expected.


Design Philosophy & Vision

What principles guide your design?
Luxury. A luxury buying experience for the farm and a luxury using experience for the guest. We want to help farms elevate the standard and finally say goodbye to the—pardon me—“green plastic poop saunas.”


How do you want guests to feel inside?
As close to home as possible. Going to the bathroom away from home is vulnerable; we design to reduce that discomfort.


Does this align with your broader brand?
Yes—my dad and I built out a larger offering called Agritourism Solutions to provide practical, guest-experience-forward solutions for farms.


We want to help farms elevate their guest experience and set a new standard for bathrooms on farms.


Special Features & Stories

Any special touches to highlight?
Lots. Every door and divider are hand-built, and most elements are custom. The craftsmanship is a point of pride.


Memorable build moments?
We run a tight ship in the shop—fun happens out on the farm. Check our Facebook for the lighter side.


Future Plans & Reflections

What’s next on the product roadmap?
We’re designing three modular trailers:

  • Baby-changing / nursing-mom trailer
  • Mobile office
  • Bride or groom getting-ready suite


What did you learn that you’ll carry forward?
Every trailer sparks new ideas. I wish I could turn my brain off, but I'm always coming up with better ways to do things and new features to add.


What’s next for Stuckey Farm itself?
We’ll refine existing offerings and keep improving.


Practical Advice for Other Farms

Advice for farms considering something similar?
Even if you’re staying with porta-potties, mitigate the experience—dress them up, increase cleaning on busy weekends. But if you get a bathroom trailer, there’s no going back—your guests will thank you.


Anything you wish you’d known earlier?
Rental demand. Off-season rentals can generate real revenue. I talked with a farm that rented a bathroom trailer for two months for $30,000.

From Memories to New Traditions: A Family’s Return to Quinn Farm

By angie • September 29, 2025
At La Ferme Quinn (Quinn Farm), every season brings something fresh and exciting—apple picking in the fall, baby animals in the spring, pumpkins and hayrides that make memories last a lifetime. But sometimes, the most meaningful harvest is not found in a basket, but in the stories and traditions that families carry with them. Recently, Phil and Stephanie Quinn received a heartfelt message from a family who has been visiting the farm for over a decade. Along with their note, they shared two photos—one taken 12 years ago, and one recreated this year in the very same spot. “We really enjoyed visiting your farm, meeting your animals and picking apples. Thank you for all that you do! I’m from a rural area and grew up around farms, and really miss the farm life. So it was lovely to visit your farm again (we haven’t gone in over a decade as a family—our kids have gone with their elementary schools). Our 4 kids recreated a photo we took of them 12 years ago at your farm, I thought you might like to see! We can’t wait to come back and go pumpkin picking!” The Power of Farm Experiences This simple act—recreating a photo—reminds us why agritourism is so much more than a fun day out. Farms like Quinn’s provide a place where families can reconnect not only with each other, but also with the land, the animals, and traditions that anchor them. When children return to a farm they visited years ago, they’re not just seeing fields of pumpkins or rows of apple trees. They’re stepping back into moments of laughter, learning, and togetherness. The familiar barn, the tractor rides, and even the scent of fresh apples create a bridge between past and present. Memories that Grow with Us As this family shared, visiting Quinn Farm wasn’t just about picking apples—it was about reliving a piece of their own story. For parents who grew up in rural areas, farms can feel like homecoming. For kids, it’s a chance to build their own library of memories, ones they’ll carry into adulthood. And for Phil and Stephanie, these stories are the heart of their work. Every pumpkin picked, every animal petted, every photo snapped represents another thread woven into the fabric of family tradition. Looking Ahead As autumn arrives, Quinn Farm welcomes thousands of visitors eager to make memories of their own. For some, it will be their first taste of farm life. For others, it’s the continuation of a tradition that has spanned years—or even generations. And for one family, the story continues this fall, as they return once more—this time to pick pumpkins, pose for photos, and keep building a tradition that is uniquely theirs. At Quinn Farm, it’s not just about what you harvest in the fields—it’s about the memories that last long after the season ends.

From Connections to Growth: Why Networking at NAFDMA Convention & Expo Matters

By angie • September 22, 2025
At NAFDMA Convention & Expo, something special happens the moment you arrive. Yes, you’ll find world-class educational sessions, inspiring keynotes, and plenty of innovative ideas to bring home. But ask any past attendee what really sticks with them, and you’ll hear the same thing again and again: the relationships. Networking at Convention isn’t just small talk over coffee—it’s conversations that can change the trajectory of your farm, your business, and your future. Here's some thoughts from current board members about the power of NAFDMA Networking. The Power of Peers Farming and agritourism can be lonely work. Few people truly understand the challenges of balancing crops, customers, and community. At NAFDMA, you’re surrounded by peers who not only understand but respect the unique path you’re walking. “Your peers at NAFDMA are the only people in the world who never call in sick! They respect your business as much as they respect theirs.” — Olivia Telschow, Helene’s Hilltop Orchard, Merrill, WI That mutual respect is the foundation for lasting connections. It’s what turns a quick introduction into a trusted friendship—and sometimes, into a future business breakthrough. Conversations that Open Doors Networking here isn’t about swapping business cards—it’s about discovering solutions you didn’t even know you needed. Every workshop, farm tour, and Expo booth creates space for conversations that spark ideas and build confidence. “Convention networking has been a tremendous asset in building our business. The knowledge we’ve gained from our peers has opened opportunities we never knew existed. Success becomes easier when we invest in the relationships we build through NAFDMA—these relationships will continue to open new doors!!” — Scott DeBuck, DeBuck’s Family Farms, Belleville, MI From Ideas to Inspiration The best part? Those conversations don’t stop when the Convention ends. They travel home with you, fueling creativity, problem-solving, and inspiration long after the event. “Networking at Convention has been invaluable for us. The chance to connect with peers who truly understand our industry has not only sparked new ideas but also created lasting relationships. Every conversation opens a door to fresh opportunities, and those connections continue to support and inspire long after Convention ends.” — Andrea DeJesus, A&H Farms, Manhattan, KS Every Handshake Matters Whether it’s a quick hallway chat, a roundtable discussion, or a shared meal, every moment is an opportunity to learn from someone who has walked the same rows you do. “At NAFDMA, every handshake carries the potential to change your farm, your business, and your future—the power of networking here is unmatched, and it isn’t just about sharing experiences; it’s about discovering solutions you never knew you needed from people who’ve walked the same rows you do.” — Alma Galloway, Galloway Farm, Hallsboro, NC Why NAFDMA Convention & Expo? Because in addition to the educational sessions, the Expo floor, and the farm tours—you gain something you can’t put a price on: a community. A network of peers who will answer the phone when you’re stuck, celebrate with you when you succeed, and inspire you to keep going when times are tough. That’s the heart of NAFDMA Convention & Expo. And it’s why year after year, attendees come back—not just for the content, but for the connections. ✨ Ready to open new doors for your farm and your future? Join us at the next NAFDMA Convention & Expo and experience firsthand the power of networking with peers who truly get it.
