As Seen on The Knot

Our Story

Our story is deeply rooted in the land, where tradition and transformation come together. Walt grew up on a farm that had been in his family for generations. The farm was once a thriving apple orchard, a place where the rhythms of the seasons and the hard work of the land shaped the daily life of the family. Over the years, however, the family business shut down, and the orchard was left dormant, its rich history fading with time.

In December of 2019, we had the opportunity to purchase the property from the family—a full-circle moment that felt both nostalgic and full of promise. What was once a beloved family farm now had the chance to be reborn, and we set out with a vision: to transform this beautiful piece of land into a place where new memories could be made, where the spirit of family and celebration would live on.

With a lot of heart and hard work, we completely reimagined the property, turning it into a stunning wedding and gathering venue. From the original orchard to the lush grounds, every corner of the property now serves as a backdrop for unforgettable moments. Whether it's a couple saying "I do" under the shade of an old tree, or families gathering to celebrate life's milestones, we’ve created a space where joy, love, and community can thrive.

This is a place where the past meets the present, where the legacy of the land continues through every event and every celebration. We are proud to share this special space with you and can't wait to be part of the story of your most cherished moments.

Below you will find pictures showcasing the rich history of the fruit farm that we have transformed into a beautiful wedding/gathering venue.
