Yes you can pick flowers from the farm for your wedding! From July onward the selection is quite stunning.

Yes, cell reception is limited in this area (unless you have AT&T), and no, people don't find this a challenge - they enjoy the break from "connectivity" and use the house fiber optic wifi for their phone and email/text needs.  

 

You will oriented to the site, and be provided with 24-7 facilities assistance as needed during the event and check the group in. 

 

We include nice lighting and beautiful wide slab wooden benches for about 125 people (as shown in our website photos) and some rustic tables that half the groups choose to use. Table and chairs, flatware, etc. is rented usually from Celebration Rentals in Brandon VT. They drop everything off 2-3 days before the event and know the area well. Same with portable toilet and all other vendors. Most good vendors in central VT (and there are many given the popularity of weddings in VT) have been to the site and know where everything goes. The party does not need to be present for the drop offs. Due to Vermont being so wedding-oriented, people can successfully arrange weddings without coordinators . I am happy to provide information and guidance during planning. 

 

At check-in the group will receive orientation to the site and review property, rules and regulations. Owner is available by cell 24-7. 

 

We look forward to hearing from you and welcome you to arrange a tour in the future.

We are a carbon-negative, organic farm, and medicinal plant botanical sanctuary. We host 10-day permaculture design workshops on site, yoga retreats, natural movement workshops and other health-focused programs. Weddings here help support our larger mission.
