The ground thawed and just like that, spring projects were off to the races! Our beloved antique 16’ mahogany farmhouse table is getting a new life courtesy of our very own Pat (who you’ll also find in the kitchen and out in the gardens), the side entrance and barn surroundings are being reworked, and there are two BIG additions to our offerings taking shape that we can’t wait to share more about soon ☺️…!

The hammers are out and sawdust is flying, as we continually tend to and reimagine this special, special place.

With the property about to burst into bloom again, now is the season for 2027 wedding tours! Our website offers a thorough look at each of our three wedding packages, but there is nothing quite like experiencing the space in person.

If you’re considering a 2027 wedding here, we would love to welcome you for a tour. Each of our packages include thoughtfully sourced fare from our kitchen, so we always recommend visiting on a day the restaurant is open to get a full sense of what we’re about.

Tours are available Wednesday through Saturday until weddings begin later this month, and then Wednesday through Friday through the summer. Submit an inquiry to get on the calendar, link in bio.

See you soon 💕
