A hickory canopy, a long table, no Wi-Fi.
The lower hollow will have a fire pit, a long table that seats forty, and the kind of quiet that only happens twenty miles from any major town. Starting spring 2028 we'll host weddings, retreats, milestone birthdays, and small gatherings that want to be in a forest.
The space
The lower hollow sits below the orchard, ringed by mature hardwood canopy and the year-round stream that runs the southern edge of the property. The long table will seat forty under string lights, and the fire pit can take another twenty around it. Bring lawn chairs and blankets if you want to spread out.
On the farm we're building an outdoor kitchen with a propane range and a sink, a composting toilet, and a hand-washing station. We'll be able to recommend caterers who already know the property if you'd rather not bring your own.
What will work here
- WeddingsUp to about 80 for the ceremony, about 40 for a seated dinner. Outdoor ceremony in the orchard, dinner in the hollow, dancing under the canopy. We'll hold rain dates and keep a small barn for emergencies.
- RetreatsDay or weekend. Yoga on the lawn. Foraging walks with Abigail. Quiet rooms in the main house if you want lodging for 6 to 8 (book ahead).
- Family ReunionsBring three generations. There's room for kids to run, a creek for them to fall into, and enough land that the introverts can find a quiet spot.
- Milestone GatheringsBirthdays, anniversaries, life events. The farm is good at holding the kind of evening that's mostly about being together outside.
Reserve a date early
Private events will be quoted by the day and depend on guest count and season. Add your email below with the kind of gathering you have in mind, and we'll reach out with availability and a quote as spring 2028 gets closer. You can also write [email protected] directly.
