Our Story
Transformed from the dairy farm it had been for decades before, we are proud to continue the Graver family tradition of Christmas tree farming since 1976. Speckled across the rolling hills and reflecting over our spring fed pond, our 70 acre farm hosts a variety of evergreen trees which drew a loyal group of customers to our farm each Christmas season for over 40 years. It is here where we grew to love sharing the beauty and serenity of our farm with the people of the community. As the tree farm changed, a new generation and season of the farm began.
Our Family Dream Of Something More
Experiencing our own wedding day here brought to life the reality of how special it is to spend such a meaningful day in a setting that reflects the beauty and value of the commitment we made. Seeing our farm not as our own but as a gift for us to steward, our desire to welcome others into its space alongside our own treasured wedding day memories grew in us a dream of hospitality in a foundational way found through one of God's greatest gifts - marriage.
Barn At Gravers Established In 2016
In May of 2016, the first big leap to our wedding dream adventure began. The deteriorating timbers and floors of the old dairy barn on the property were torn down, leaving a foundation of stone that had been first laid in the 1850s. Repointed stone by stone, the integrity of the old barn's foundation was soon restored and ready to remain as the cornerstone of our farm. Completely and authentically Amish built, the new barn now stands tall with its douglas fir beams wrapped in hemlock fir board and batten and held together with solid oak pins.
After hosting our first weddings in 2017, we've quickly grown to enjoy being a part of so many new beginnings. It would be an honor to host you and your cherished family and friends for a wedding celebration designed to mark the start of a lifelong journey of love together.
All our best,
The Gravers
