Beech Springs Farm - Orrtanna
If you are planning a unique non-traditional wedding, Beech Springs Farm provides a wedding venue for both an outdoor garden wedding atmosphere as well as an indoor rustic barn wedding in the event of inclement weather. The farm is also available as a backdrop for photographing some of life's special moments, graduation and engagement photos to name a few, or anyone looking for a special background for memorable photos.
Beech Springs Farm is also the home of our chemical-free, Certified Naturally Grown heirloom produce filled with vegetables, herbs and flowers for members of the farm's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. In addition, Beech Springs Farm hosts Farm to Table Dinners where a fresh seasonal fare is served family style on rustic harvest tables.
Each dinner features local entertainment, making the experience truly unique, and the guests are served a five course creation prepared by guest chefs (highlighting Adams County's unique local culture) along with local beverages which are paired with each course. Who wouldn't want to enjoy a spectacular view of the farm's garden and fields while slowly sipping delicious local wines and ciders.

Product and Services
Wedding Venue, Rustic Barn Wedding Venue, CSA Programs, Farm to Table Dinners, Photography Venue (engagement, graduation).In the simplest terms, CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a partnership between a farm and the community - a direct link between the farm and the table. When farms establish CSA programs, members of the community have the opportunity to purchase a share of the farm’s harvest prior to the start of the growing season. They support the farm and provide the revenue the farmer needs to begin the season.
Farmers typically go into debt to purchase the seeds and supplies to plant their crops and do not receive any return until crops are harvested. Income is dependent on a host of conditions, which could affect the farm’s livelihood. However, with the financial security provided by CSA members, farmers can concentrate on doing what they do best – growing crops.
At the same time, when CSA members agree to support the farm financially, they also agree to share the risks of farming as well as the rewards. Members become directly involved with the production of the food they consume by using their dollars to vote for a more sustainable food system.
