Couples that have reserved their event are welcome to take their engagement pictures any place on the farm or in the barn. In the summer we will have sunflowers , wildflowers, crops and blooming apple trees at different times and will try to let the brides know thru our facebook page when things are starting to bloom so you can set up your photo shoot. In the winter, there are a few really wonderful places like in the middle of the pine tree clearing to snap your save the date pics.
Are children allowed on the premises?
We welcome children, but all children under the age of 16 should be supervised at all times by an adult due to the nature of the property and because it is a working farm.
Is the barn air-conditioned or heated?
Our historic barn was built in the early 1900’s – We have 3 types of heating that can be used. We are installing a whole barn fan on the 2nd floor of the barn that will work to pull all the heat out of the barn for your event. We also have a portable air conditioner in the kitchen/bar area and one in the brides room. You are welcome to bring in fans if you wish.
Can we add additional decorations to the barn?
Yes, we love to see how each couple transforms the barn to fit their own unique style. In an effort to keep a natural rustic atmosphere the following items cannot be thrown, released or scattered outside or in the barn: balloons, fireworks, party poppers, potpourri, silly string, sequins, glitter, artificial flower petals or artificial leaves. Options to consider for outside would be bird seed, real flower petals, sparklers, eco friendly wedding confetti, bubbles or dried lavender or other type of dried flowers,

We also do have a plug in for a food truck so that they don’t have to use their generator.
