The Food
We want our food to be one of the centerpieces of your event.
We work closely with you in creating a seasonal menu based around what we have available
on the farm during the time of year surrounding your wedding.
Any ingredients that can't be sourced from the
farm directly (meat and fish for example) will always be sourced from the
highest quality purveyors, locally and organically if possible.
Menus & Dining Format
The pricing for each dinner format also includes passed appetizers and hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour portion of the wedding.

All package pricing is based on five hours of open bar service.
We stock a selection of locally produced and brand-name products. We can source
specific brands outside of our normal stock, but this may affect your package pricing.
Custom craft cocktails are included in our full bar packages and can be added on to a wine & beer package.

extra time needed for setup and breakdown.
We will coordinate timing for rental and vendor setup prior to the event,

supply drop-off, deocrating and general preparation.
Weddings and all other events must end at 10pm, this time is set by our town code, and unfortunately cannot be extened. A reasonable amount of time for vendor breakdown and guest departure will be provided after your event's conclusion.

A Wedding tent with tent lighting is required for larger groups.
A dance floor and stage are common but not reuqired rentals.
Further rentals to consider would be specialty glassware, specialty linens, specialty
lighting, fans and audio equipment.

The only service we disallow is outside caterers.
