A Venue For Rustic Celebrations

Finnriver is a 33 acre organic family farm where we grow good food and operate an artisan cidery. We are in earnest pursuit of sustainable agriculture, craft fermentation and community vitality. Come enjoy a taste of life on the land!

Our mission here is to nourish deep-rooted & fruitful connections among people and the land and we are glad to welcome groups that seek an authentic rural setting for their retreats or celebrations.

This is a working farm, with rural charm, but not a manicured event destination. Farm events here are best suited for folks willing to wear boots, talk to chickens and sit on hay bales!

Finnriver can host groups ranging from 1-100 and we can work with you to create an experience that offers a marvelous, memorable rustic adventure.
