Locke Falls has added a lot of distinctive features while maintaining the integrity of the farm. The ideal location to exchange vows is defined by our natural wooden arbors, which provide sitting along with rustic tables and benches. A century-old maple slab rests atop whiskey barrels in the patio bar. Even high-top tables made of wire spools exist. The 2,400 square foot event pavilion was recently constructed, and it has large doors leading to a brand-new patio. It features expansive perennial gardens, hand-built stone walls, and breathtaking views of the surrounding pastoral meadows. Locke Falls Farm has so much to love and learn.
