A Close Encounter with Farm Life: Our Cattle

One of the highlights of our venue is the opportunity to connect with the heart of farm life. Our cattle graze peacefully in their pastures. Guests may even have the chance to feed the cattle, creating a fun and memorable experience for all ages. We’ve noticed that children especially love to pet and interact with the animals. Every late spring, during calving season, you’ll get to glimpse some of our baby cows and they romp around and nap in the grass.


The cattle also provide a stunning natural backdrop for photos. As you can see, Ross and Kayle took full advantage in their shoot, capturing some adorable candids.

Fields of Beauty and Bounty


Surrounding the venue are expansive fields that transform with the seasons, making every wedding unique. Depending on the year, these fields may be filled with rows of golden corn, lush soybeans, or picturesque hay bales. Each setting offers its own charm and serves as a breathtaking setting for your ceremony, reception, or wedding photos.

You will want to keep the seasons in mind when choosing a wedding date. Each season has its benefits. In the spring, the corn or soybeans will be just starting to grow. The earth is coming alive, and the colors may be a bit softer. During the summer, the flowers should be in full bloom. This time is the most green, which can contrast nicely with a white dress. The hay bales start to appear later in the summer. Of course, in the fall, the landscape will take on more oranges and browns. This makes for a lovely golden hour sunset. Though not usually the most popular, I love to see the farm in the winter. There is an openness and barren beauty not found any other time of the year. When there’s snow covering the ground, the fields take on a new pure aesthetic.

Thoughtfully Designed Flowers and Landscaping


Our venue’s flowers and landscaping are meticulously planned to complement the natural beauty of the farm. Vibrant blooms, rustic planters, and carefully curated greenery create a harmonious blend of elegance and rural charm. If you visit our venue in the summer, you’ll see an isle of wildflowers leading you toward the great sycamore tree alongside Dry Run. A mix of rocks and foliage around the pond and windmill create a blend between the industrial and natural elements of the farm.

Secluded and Serene Location


One of the most common comments that we get from visiting couples is about how quiet it is on the farm. Its seclusion is one of the greatest advantages of our venue. Situated off the beaten path, the venue offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here, you won’t be distracted by the sounds of traffic or the glare of city lights. Instead, you’ll be surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature—chirping birds, rustling leaves, and the occasional moo from our cattle.
