Birthday Parties and Private Events
Host your next event at Mary's Land Farm!
Thank you for considering Mary’s Land Farm for your next event. Hosting events helps us accomplish one of the main goals of the farm, which is to teach the community about our sustainable farming practices and their benefits.
Birthday parties on the farm are available with several different party packages and farm experience add-ons options. Each venue has a base hourly rate which includes the space, base amount of guests, and enough tables and chairs to seat your guests. Each birthday party is by default two hours. You may add additional time if you would like. Each venue has its own hourly rate and guest capacities. All events are required to add at least one birthday party package or add-on. You can book your party directly from this page on our scheduler below!
We are happy to host other private events in our venues. We have hosted several company picnics, corporate meetings, baby/bridal showers and more! Please complete our private event request form.

Parties or venue rentals of more than 100 guests must be booked directly with a staff member by contacting [email protected]. Larger events are subject to different rates and regulations.
* We require full payment upon booking. Your credit card information will be saved in case of additional add-ons, damage fees, overtime charges, additional guests, etc.
* Wagon rides are weather dependent. Parties are held rain or shine. However, if the weather is severe, we’re happy to discuss rescheduling or cancellation with you by phone.
* You are welcome to decorate the area as you’d like, but please do not bring any decorations that might get away and be harmful to the animals. Confetti is not recommended. The party host is responsible for cleaning the area up entirely. We will remove trash bags.
* All guests must complete the party waiver before the scheduled event and party hosts must agree to our Venue Rental Terms & Conditions.
Please bring your own table coverings to be placed on the tables.
You are more than welcome to hire outside entertainment talent to assist in your party, like a balloon twister or face painter, but they must send a Certificate of Insurance one week prior to the event to [email protected]
Reservations are made online by selecting your party venue first.

The farm is very large and can be a little bit overwhelming if you are not familiar with the layout before your party. We recommend that you come anytime during our farm store hours to map things out. You can also see our farm map here. Additionally, store or any farm staff would be happy to direct you. For those renting a small wooden pavilion, please check in at the store before proceeding to a pavilion.
You are welcome to use any of our large parking areas around the farm. Please do not park directly in front of the farm store, as those spaces should be used by store visitors only. We recommend that parties in the Event Pavilion park directly in front of it, and Red Barn parties may park in the blacktop next to the Red Barn or in the field across it. Ice house and wooded pavilion parties may park in front of the Inn, near the large event pavilion, or at the Red Barn. All overflow parking is in the field across from the Red Barn or field across from the Inn parking lot.
