Weddings in the Meadow
The meadow was developed for quiet country weddings in a woodsy setting. Birds chirp in the surrounding forest, butterflies flitter and the clouds float gently overhead while vows are exchanged.
Receptions in the Pavilion
Then there is our green roofed pavilion, protected from the elements with a wind screen on the west side. (The pavilion is also the alternative location for outdoor weddings on the rare occasion when the weather doesn't cooperate.) It has a raised stage and a concrete floor 30' wide and 60' long. Guests may decorate it.
The farm also has:
peaches, apples. Any childe who has ever wanted to drive a train will have that chance on weekends, when the train is available. The train belongs to Keith. He made it from scratch and it is a work of art. He cannot always be at the farm on fall weekends, but he tries to be. There is a nominal charge to be the engineer. Every year we add more pumpkins. They will be ready in late September through October. It is hard to say which the kids enjoy most: the wagon ride to the patch, or the search for the perfect pumpkin to pick.
