The Blog

Welcome, friends!

Thoughts, musings, and practical tips from our venue owners. This is not a sales pitch! We want to offer you some insights from our experience hosting over 300 weddings here on the farm. Of course, we are proud of our venue and would be honored to host you for your special day, but we hope this blog can prove useful for all couples stopping by, even those that don’t book with us. 

Expect a mix of topics, primarily practical, some geared towards sustainability and budgeting, while others offer advice on preparing yourself for your wedding day. We believe these things are all interconnected, just like the plants we nurture on our organic farm.
