We believe our prices are very reasonable, as having these areas available entails a tremendous amount of work year round.  Our goal is to offer a comfortable, natural and enjoyable environment for your event, at an affordable price.   We spend many hours every day maintaining the gardens and grounds (many flowers need to be pruned frequently for best performance...and we have a large grass areas to maintain!). However, we do believe in conserving our natural resources, so the grounds won't always be looking so neat between events!  We try to reduce fossil fuel usage and improve the health of vegetation by allowing the grass to grow somewhat if an event is not scheduled, so you might arrive to visit a lawn looking a bit overgrown! Be assured that event time will present a neater appearance.  We work hard to be good stewards of the land and practice sustainable methods of farming and gardening. 

We do not have an "estate", we have a "farm".  Our visitors have described us as "country chic"; "upscale country"; "fun and comfortable"; "a dream garden setting"; "the best place for a wedding"! We're happy to have received so many wonderful comments about what we have to share with our visitors, and it is very satisfying to know that others enjoy our farm and appreciate the work it takes!

We try to keep our gardens neat, but they aren't immaculate.  The gardens won't be 'weed free' as we feel a mix of natural grasses and wildflowers is OK!  Mother nature keeps trying to make them a meadow! 

Our facility will be clean and neat, but things are not perfect and uniform.  We celebrate diversity - of many things.  With so many recycled things around, it's an eclectic collection. If you need total uniformity for things such as seating, we aren't the best venue for you.  However, if you share our concerns for resource conservation, share our thoughts of observing and enjoying nature, while also appreciating a few amenities such as an optional comfortable indoor location with kitchen and bathroom facilities, then you might want to take a visit to see what we have to offer! But, a forewarning...99.99% of all potential clients who visit us have selected  Khimaira Farm as the venue for their wedding after they visit!

Ongoing maintenance of facilities requires regular attention and expense, and we're always looking for ways to make improvements and utilize recycled materials from many sources.  Despite these year round costs, we also want to offer our clients and friends an alternative for the high prices of more "traditional" facilities.  We do our best to keep our prices low and protect our environment by using recycled and recyclable products whenever possible.  We also avoid the use of dangerous chemicals and use natural pest controls.   We have been practicing organic farming and sustainable agriculture since we purchased the farm in 1978! We encourage you to consider "green" weddings and events and can help you locate supplies that enable you to do so! 

Since we operate a working farm, we have a variety of animals such as our goats, chickens, cats and dogs in residence!  Folks often want an additional tour of our other facilities.  We will work with you for these arrangements if you want that option as well.
