Host an Event at the Farm

Elm Farm is a working flower farm and event venue for small conferences, workshops, women’s gatherings, homeschool days, creative retreats, coffee conversations, family celebrations, and seasonal farm events.

The farmhouse is arranged so groups can move naturally between coffee, teaching, conversation, creating, porch breaks, and outdoor time. Some gatherings use only one room. Others use the whole main level, porch, and farm areas.

The Perfect Fit for Elm Gatherings

Small Conferences + Planning Days
Use the conference room for round-table teaching, planning sessions, nonprofit meetings, homeschool parent gatherings, board-style conversations, and small group trainings.

Creative Workshops
Use the art room, coffee bar, tea room, and porch for paint-and-sip gatherings, floral classes, journaling circles, maker workshops, art nights, and friend-group creative time.

Women’s Gatherings + Retreat Mornings
Use the lounge, coffee bar, art room, porch, and farm walk for women’s circles, prayer mornings, self-care gatherings, quiet retreats, and coffee-and-conversation events.

Homeschool + Learning Days
Use the conference room, art room, porch, farm areas, and seasonal growing spaces for parent meetings, student workshops, nature days, farm lessons, and small educational gatherings.

Family + Seasonal Celebrations
Use the farmhouse, porch, tea room, kitchen, yard, and firepit area when conditions allow for birthdays, showers, family meals, graduation gatherings, holiday events, and simple seasonal celebrations.

Bridal Prep + Small Wedding Support
Use the lounge, porch, coffee bar, tea room, and photo areas for bridal prep mornings, small wedding-adjacent gatherings, portraits, brunches, showers, and quiet pre-ceremony space.

Elm is best suited for small, intentional gatherings rather than large banquet-style events. Room access, outdoor access, firepit use, and setup options depend on group size, season, staffing, weather, and farm readiness.


Gathering Spaces at Elm

Conference + Planning Days
Round-table setups in the main gathering room support huddles, teaching, planning, nonprofit meetings, homeschool parent gatherings, board-style conversations, and small conferences.

Creative Workshops
The art room is prepared for painting, floral classes, journaling circles, maker workshops, and friend-group creative time.

Coffee + Conversation
Coffee and tea service in the kitchen helps every gathering feel received before the formal part of the event begins.

Women’s Gatherings + Retreat Mornings
Softer rooms support women’s circles, retreat breaks, prayer mornings, self-care gatherings, and quiet conversation.

Host Table + Refreshments
The dining room works as a support room for refreshments, catered food, desserts, workshop packets, tea service, speaker resources, or event materials.

Porch Breaks
The covered porch gives guests a place for coffee breaks, waiting, portraits, conversation, and a slower moment between sessions.

Farm Walk + Outdoor Time
Seasonal outdoor spaces allow gatherings to move from the farmhouse into the flower farm, lawn, firepit area, or simple farm walk when conditions allow.

Bridal Prep + Small Celebration Support
The lounge, porch, coffee kitchen, host room, and photo areas can support bridal prep mornings, showers, portraits, brunches, and small wedding-adjacent gatherings.

Welcome our new farm members! Welcome our new farm members!
Planting week has landed on my birthday since the Planting week has landed on my birthday since the first year we lived here and Marshall asked me how he could make my birthday special for me. I replied that I wanted to garden, so we did. And we haven’t stopped since. 

But this year, we didn’t do much planting. We harvested some flowers and enjoyed picnics and walked around viewing our different growing areas. We talked about perennials and dreamt up new gardens and slowly, gently, peacefully came to terms with the fact that we needed to press pause on the CSA for a season. 

I’ve never loved doing anything as much as I love growing green things. Except being a wife and mother.

A few days after Marshall’s fall down some steps, he started walking funny. A few days later, he was forgetful and slow to answer questions. It’s been almost a month since he fell, and he’s still substituting the wrong words in his sentences, still wincing when he bends over, still pausing before walking with the baby. He’s working with an incredible doctor and I see so many wonderful things ahead for him. But right now, caring for my family has to eclipse my efforts in keeping green things alive. Perhaps someone else could do both, but that’s okay. My garden will be there waiting for me, just as it always has. 

We’ll still grow the things, we just won’t do it at the pace we were expecting of ourselves before. We’ll still harvest and preserve and share our abundance. We just won’t do it with a pre-determined timeframe. We’ll still spend our summer outside amongst the green things. We’ll just do it more slowly, more gently, and with more naps.
