Our Pure Michigan event barn rests along the Kalamazoo River and is surrounded by cropland and woods.
We are centrally located between Battle Creek and Jackson and serve all of South Central Michigan.
It is the perfect natural setting for any gathering.
Weddings
The open and wooded spaces around our farm are picturesque places to hold your wedding ceremony and reception! Our big red barn has theater-style seating capacity for 150 people and it has quiet ceiling fans to keep your guests comfortable during the summer months. The river bank, wooded trails, and the rustic grain bin provide countless picture backdrops to reflect the unique style of every couple. And with the option of on-site lodging in the farm house, your wedding planning to-do list just got a lot shorter!
