Your Stay at the farmhouse
The tastefully renovated 1860s farmhouse is for a two night stay as part of the special celebration. The wish is for you and your extended family to arrive on Friday and depart on Sunday for a true weekend wedding celebration with an outdoor Friday welcome dinner with lawn games and a Sunday goodbye brunch hosted at the farm. The farmhouse comfortably sleeps up to a 12 guests and provides the wedding party and family members a backdrop for an intimate bonding experience that always becomes a cherished part of events at our venue. Originally a working dairy farm and stagecoach stop on the road to Stamford. Built in the 1860’s by the Smith family from Scotland much of the original detail remains. Story has it that the Smith’s brought their working dogs with them. This historic property has been carefully renovated to retain much of the original detail in the farmhouse like the handblown glass windows, wide plank pine flooring, double front door. The claw foot tub has made its way out to the bar in the barn for chilling beverages. Bluestone walls have been carefully rebuilt. Historic heirloom irises, hydrangea and peonies abound in the perennial gardens surrounding the farmhouse and barn in June. The flower farm is a natural extension to the wedding venue, the specialty is in growng inique flowers that don’t tranpsort well. The flowers from our gardens are one of the many gifts we share with our couples.
One of the many highlights of the week is curating a unique collection of flowers, ferns and fillers for the wedding that week. Each week something new is blooming. Everything that is used in the table arrangements, bouquets and buttonieres is grown on the farm fromn seed to flower. Hyper-local flowers! It doesn’t get any better. Additioanlly the flowers grown on the farm are pesticide free and don’t use copious amounts of resources to be transported 1000’s of miles. Lowest carbon foot print possible. And the flowers are bursting forth with vibrance. Some of the specialty cut flowers we grow specifically for our couple’s are double tulips, dafodils, ranunculus, snapdragons, zinnias, cosmos, delphinium, yarrow, stock, larkspur, calendula, scabiosa, armaranth, celosias, and dahlias to name a few. By creating florals with and for our dear couples we get to know them a little better.
