About this venue

Come celebrate in nature on a developing organic farm on the one-of-a-kind Smith Forbes Historic Site. There are several large fields and a barn that is available for your event. Also on the site is a working farm with a small number of friendly goats, chickens, and pigs. Access to acres of private forest land with route to Rappahannock River. We are a DIY venue with limited capacity, so it's best for small and intimate ceremonies. We are open to all faiths. LGBTQ+/420 friendly. Visit us on the web or find us on IG for more information!
