Think Holcomb Farm for weddings and events

|

This space is special. The people who are from this area feel it deep in their bones. This is a treasured space. What is even more magical is that even non-locals can feel it. It is no surprise that people choose Holcomb Farm as their legacy event space, not only hosting their wedding here, but later a baby shower, anniversary, graduation, milestone celebration and even celebrations of life.

Prime rib is perfect for the holidays

|

This is one of the simplest recipes I have ever shared. With the holidays upon us and New Year’s around the corner, this makes a very special meal and it always comes out perfectly!
