The Inn at Fox Briar Farm
This hidden gem is a warm and inviting place to host your wedding. A restored home and barn of the Jamison family in 1960's, who also owned and transformed the 5 minute walk to the then known "chicken farm" into what is now famously known as Peddler's Village. The Jamison family lived and grew up together in this home, until one of the grown children in 2021, Donna, purchased the property with her husband, Jeff.
Tucked away behind Peddler's Village, crossing a stone bridge leading to the 50 acre property, 3 ponds, garden lawns and spring houses. Choice of indoor ceremony location in the fully restored barn or loft side, or outdoor ceremony in the breezeway lawn.

In addition, the Golden Plough Inn with 60 additional rooms is within walking distance in Peddler's Village. Catering access to staging kitchen with 2 large storage areas with easy load in.

As you walk down this lovely pathway, you will be taken through the newly replanted apple orchard and a stone boulder wall.

What I love about The Inn at Fox Briar Farm: This is such a lovely venue with a farm-like quaint atmosphere. The Inn is beautiful inside room after room. The family that own the venue are so friendly and warm. Donna, one of the owners and directing manager of the events, was right there welcoming everyone and giving guidance to help create a smooth set up for the wedding. After I left the set up for the wedding cake, I took a quick tour of the grounds outside for some photo ops, viewing the ponds with swans swimming, the stone walking bridge and the breezeway back to my car.
