Red Cedar Farms: The Greatest Community on Earth! (Just Ask Frank)

By Schell Brothers, in Beachfront Banter
October 9, 2026 | Comments Off on Red Cedar Farms: The Greatest Community on Earth! (Just Ask Frank)

This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam are heading to the greatest community on Earth! Well, at least according to Frank. Welcome to Red Cedar Farms, one of Schell Brothers’ newest communities, located in Milford, Delaware, just north of the beaches, south of Dover, and smack dab in the middle of an exciting and growing area! Join us as we explore the community, check out the floor plans, discover some incredible homesites, and share what makes Red Cedar Farms such a unique place to call home. Of course, it wouldn’t be Beachfront Banter without a few laughs, some friendly jabs, and a little unscripted fun along the way. And apparently, this community is SO captivating that Adam can’t take his eyes off the screen! Seriously, Adam, we’re filming a podcast here! Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and come see what all the excitement is about at Red Cedar Farms. No script. Just stories… Maybe a little shameless self-promotion from Frank. Cheers!

Beachfront Banter podcast explores the unique culture of Delaware’s coastal towns, local hotspots, nonprofits, and the beach lifestyle that makes the area special. With a mix of humor, local insight, and Schell Brothers’ signature energy, each episode offers stories from the community and behind-the-scenes moments from the region’s top homebuilder and 2023 Pro Builder of the Year. Catch it on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podbean and iHeart Radio, and enjoy a laid-back, slightly chaotic journey through beach life—one episode at a time.

It’s a great conversation with an amazing woman and one of Delaware’s biggest advocates for the arts. Pull up a chair… this is Beachfront Banter!

This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam are talking about something that has never been done before in Delaware—a Schell Brothers Parade of Homes! We’re opening the doors to four one-of-a-kind model homes, but trust us, this is going to be about a whole lot more than countertops and Frank pretending he understands interior design. Throughout the Parade, three special ticketed events will bring together local food, live music, beer, spirits, and plenty of reasons to stick around after the home tours are over. Even better, 100% of the proceeds from the ticketed events will go to charity, so you can eat, drink, have a great time, and actually feel good about all of it.

Think you need to own a boat to enjoy life on the Delaware and Rehoboth Bays? Think again! This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam are joined by Rob Sweeney from Freedom Boat Club to talk about one of the best-kept secrets of coastal living—getting all the fun of boating without the maintenance, storage, or surprise repair bills. If you’re moving to the Delaware beaches (or already call them home), this episode is packed with great information on another incredible way to enjoy everything our coast has to offer. And as always, we’ll leave you with one important boating tip: if you see Adam behind the wheel of a boat… it’s probably safer to wave from shore… or RUN!

This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam sit down with Chris Cordrey from RSC Landscaping/East Coast Garden Center to talk about the art of turning a new house into a home… one plant at a time. If you’ve ever walked through a Schell Brothers model and thought, “I want my yard to look like this,” this episode is for you.

Pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for another episode of Beachfront Banter—cheers!

Adam’s back in the hot seat this week as Frank and Adam dive into one of Schell Brothers’ newest and most exciting communities… Monarch! Located in Middletown, Delaware, Monarch has Adam suddenly claiming ownership of the self-proclaimed “Northern Delaware Division” (not officially recognized… Yet 😉). From the exciting upcoming models and the rolling hills of the moors (yes… apparently that’s a thing) to the vision behind the community itself, there’s plenty of buzz surrounding Monarch. Expect laughs, a little friendly ego inflation, and a fun behind-the-scenes look at what makes this community such a big deal. Tune in and see why the Monarch excitement is very real… Especially for Adam.

Schell Brothers Launches “Schell Circle” to Strengthen Community Connections Beyond the Home

By Schell Brothers, in NEWS
May 19, 2026 | Comments Off on Schell Brothers Launches “Schell Circle” to Strengthen Community Connections Beyond the Home

Schell Brothers is proud to announce the launch of Schell Circle, a new social connection platform designed to bring homeowners together in meaningful ways. Within the first five days of launch, more than 600 members have already joined this free platform, signaling strong excitement for this next chapter of the Schell Brothers experience.

Building a new home is often the start of something exciting but it can also mean leaving behind familiar routines, favorite places, and the relationships that once made a community feel like home. While Schell Brothers is known for building thoughtfully designed homes, the team has always believed that feeling connected is just as important as the home itself.

That belief is at the heart of The Schell Difference.

“For years, we’ve looked for ways to help our homeowners connect from neighborhood happy hours to community events. Schell Circle is a natural next step. It gives people an easy way to meet others, share interests, and build real relationships.”
– Chris Schell, Founder & CEO

Schell Circle is available to homeowners across all Schell Brothers communities. It offers both virtual and in-person opportunities to connect through interest-based groups and activities. From book clubs and walking groups to pickleball meetups, game nights, and casual gatherings, homeowners can explore shared interests or create their own clubs within the platform.

Designed to be simple and easy to navigate, Schell Circle allows members to chat, plan events, and discover new ways to engage with their neighbors. The goal is to create connections that feel natural, lasting, and rooted in shared experiences.

Schell Circle reflects the company’s continued commitment to its Culture of Happiness by helping homeowners build friendships, create memories, and feel a true sense of belonging long after move-in day.

Schell Brothers is a Delaware-based homebuilder known for creating energy-efficient homes and vibrant communities across Delaware, Idaho, Virginia, and Tennessee. Focused on happiness, innovation, and exceptional customer experience, Schell Brothers combines thoughtful design with high-performance construction to help homeowners live better every day.
