FAQ

  • What is the difference between a room reservation and an All-Inclusive booking?

    A room reservation is best when you need one specific space, such as the Conference Room, Recording Studio, Library, Lounge, or Tea Room.

    An All-Inclusive Venue booking is best when you want the main level arranged as one coordinated gathering space instead of choosing rooms one by one. “All-Inclusive” means the farmhouse is reserved as a coordinated booking; food, art supplies, recording equipment, specialty styling, firepit use, and extended kitchen use may still need to be added or approved separately.

  • Can we use the kitchen?

    Some bookings include arranged kitchen access for coffee, tea, water, refreshments, serving, or simple food staging.

    The kitchen is not rented as a commercial kitchen. Full meal preparation, outside catering, warming food, refrigeration needs, or special kitchen use must be discussed before your booking is confirmed.

  • Can we bring our own food or drinks?

    Yes, guests may bring their own food, snacks, desserts, nonalcoholic drinks, or catered items, depending on the booking type.

    Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring food so we can prepare the Tea Room,  kitchen buffet, trash plan, serving surfaces, and cleanup expectations properly.

  • Can we book Elm for podcast recording, interviews, or brand content?

    Yes. The Recording Studio is being prepared for podcasts, interviews, coaching videos, author sessions, course content, local business media, and brand storytelling.

    Guests should bring their own recording equipment unless equipment or room styling has been specifically arranged in advance. Other rooms, including the Coffee Bar and Kitchen, Libray/Art Room, Tea Room, Lounge, porch, and outdoor areas, may also be useful for photo and content sessions.

  • Can photographers book Elm for client sessions?

    Yes. Photographers may book Elm for portraits, brand sessions, product photography, seasonal farm imagery, bridal details, family photos, senior photos, maternity sessions, and creative content.

    Available scenes change by season. Some weeks may include flowers, garden rows, mature trees, and styled outdoor gathering spaces. Other weeks may show more active weeding, planting, mowing, or farm work.

  • Can I get married on the farm?

    We would love to help you say I do among the flowers!

    Elm is the perfect place to host a micro-wedding or intimate ceremony. Reach out so we can discuss group size, available indoor venue space, restrooms, setup, and what you can expect for the bloom season.

    Elm is not a large banquet-style wedding venue, but with 16 acres and thousands of square feet of flowers, there is absolutely space for your wedding dreams.

    If you’re looking for a reception area, bridal prep, portraits, showers, brunches, small celebrations, family gatherings, or simple seasonal events, Elm is available year-round.

  • What parts of the property are unavailable to guests?

    Elm is a working farm with personal living areas for our farm manager. Guest spaces will be marked by booking type. Private steward areas, basement, attic, family living spaces, work/storage areas, and any marked “No Guest Access” spaces are not included unless specifically arranged.

    Thank you for helping us keep Elm usable as both a working farm and a hosted gathering place by staying within the guest-ready areas for your booking.

  • Can more than one group book Elm at the same time?

    During this opening season, Elm accepts one booking at a time. This allows the farmhouse, steward schedule, guest areas, parking, and room setup to be prepared well.

  • What rooms can be used during a booking?

    Room access depends on the booking type. Elm may include use of the Welcome Entry, Coffee Bar, Tea Room, Conference Room, Recording Studio, Lounge, Library, Front Porch, and approved outdoor areas.

    Not every booking includes every room. Some spaces may be reserved, reset, unavailable, or still being prepared depending on the season and event needs.

  • How many people can Elm Farm host?

    Elm is best for small, intentional gatherings. The indoor venue work best for groups of about 10–25, depending on the setup. Outdoor gatherings may be able to host more when the season, weather, parking, mowing, staffing, and farm readiness allow.

    Groups of up to 200 can comfortably use the field and beautiful outside spaces.

Since the day I pulled into the drive at Elm, this Since the day I pulled into the drive at Elm, this property has had a special place in my heart. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God orchestrated a unique set of circumstances so that I could have this home for healing. 

And now it’s time for a new set of unique circumstances that I know God is orchestrating for our good and His glory. 

The Mitchell family will be leaving Elm at the end of November. We’ll miss it fiercely, but we see God working out a special ending to our time here. He has been so gracious these last eight years at Elm. It’s time for someone else to receive the blessing that is this beautiful property. 

I don’t have a lot of details to offer, as they are all still falling into place daily. But I stand on the forever fact that His will is always, always the best version of the story. 

So as we pack our belongings and say goodbye to our sweet little farm, I hope you join me over at @cherithmitchell to continue the adventure God started with the birth of our son, Teddy. A story of redemption and wholeness and taking back what the enemy stole.
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.
