about the farm

Details about Big spring Farm

Just a short drive from Washington D.C., Charlottesville, and Richmond awaits an oasis in the mountains, perfect for your special event.

Big Spring Farm is a working cattle farm, agrarian community, and event venue in the western mountains of the Shenandoah valley, just 6 miles from Lexington, Virginia. Comprising almost 500 acres, and home to one of Virginia's largest natural springs (our namesake), Big Spring offers a unique balance of modern event facilities in the context of historic barns and homes, pastoral and mountain views, a private 10 acre lake fed by the spring- all convenient to D.C., Richmond, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, and Roanoke. 

Big Spring is the fruition of a dream that started on our own wedding day, in our backyard, at our first farm in the Shanendoah valley. After 11 years as wedding photographers (gah that makes us sound old), all the while running a sustainable livestock farm, we found that our deepest passions lie in caring for the land and celebrating the covenant of marriage. 9 years ago we found Big Spring and moved our life here. It has been a complete joy to see it become a place where both the farm life and beautiful bespoke events happen in harmony. Yes, the farm is our home, but in many ways it's home for all the couples that start the greatest chapter of their life here. We love seeing each unique event come to life at Big Spring and we love that our family gets to play a part in each couples story!
