Welcome to The Rural Society at Warwick Farm
The Rural Society at Warwick Farm serves as a wedding venue, annual antique sales, and special events that are all designed to indulge in the true heart of the rural Midwest and hosted on a working farm in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Owner Page Price and her team's unique style, from floral designs to cultivating the coziness of a weekend stay, makes The Rural Society a destination for an unforgettable experience.
About the Farm:
The Farm. Warwick Farm is a family farm of Page Price’s husband, Greg. He and his twin brother grew up at the farm milking Brown Swiss dairy cows and helping to work the family crop ground. Page, a garden/floral designer and stylist, and Greg, a veterinarian, bought the family farm and began restoring it in 1998. Warwick Farm is made up of 40 acres of pasture ground that is home to a flock of over 75 head of sheep and four adorable corgis! The farm is also home to a flock of heritage-bred poultry, french hens, peacocoks and many friendly cats that roam the grounds.
The Houses and Barn. The pre-Civil War farmhouse and main barn were restored first and then work began on saving the other outbuildings. The Milk House was completely gutted and rehabbed to become a full industrial caterers kitchen, sitting room, bath and large dormitory style, loft bedroom that does double duty - serving as our catering teams kitchen and a Groom’s space. Outside and attached to the milkhouse is our outdoor kitchen complete with an argentinian inspired grill, wood fired pizza oven, a bar with all amenities needed for service and three restrooms. A small, fully appointed one bedroom Cottage serves as our Bridal preparation home that offers coziness and privacy as you get ready for your big day. The Cottage is also available for overnight and weekend rental. The abandoned maple syrup house was converted to Page’s floral design studio and an office. Two greenhouses were also added to extend the growing season for the large kitchen garden and numerous flower borders on the farm
The Glass House. The Glass House came from an architectural dealer in Philadelphia in 2019. The structure is 75 years old and is a Lord & Bernham Glass House that was salvaged from a DuPont Estates near Philadelphia. We found out about the house online and decided it needed a home at Warwick Farm. We purchased it, relocated it, and reconstructed it; the whole process took about six months. We now have 1800 square feet of gorgeous event space to be used for weddings, receptions, classes, workshops, private parties, day retreats and other special events.
The Garden House. At one time used as a space to house chickens this beautiful small space is nestled in a potager garden with an outdoor pergola, water feature and fire-pit surrounded by adirondack chairs. A perfect space for a smaller private party or event, cocktail hour, or just to relax in as you enjoy your event at The Rural Society.
The Mobile Bar. We noticed a need for additional bar space around the property, and so was born the mobile bar! An old produce stand from Mifflin, Ohio, we revamped the building as a secondary bar option for larger events. The mobile bar stays on the property and cannot be used for off-site events.
Antique Sale:
The farm was photographed by Country Living Magazine in 2011 after one of the editors discovered some posts of the farm on a design blog. This was also when Page and a group of creative friends decided that the farm would be the ideal location to host a curated antique and garden sale; and so the first Rural Society Antique and Garden Sale was held. The sale is held the first Saturday in May, October and December each year and has become popular with many dealers, decorators and collectors across the state and beyond. The Spring & Fall sale features over 25 dealers and a farm market showcasing local produce and products - the Holiday sale is a smaller event that is perfect for checking off your gift lists!
Weddings & More:
After the feature in Country Living and the first two sales, one of the Rural Society dealers thought that Warwick Farm would be the perfect place to host a romantic, farm wedding for her daughter, so The Rural Society at Warwick Farm Weddings were born. The farm has now become a desirable venue for outdoor weddings and other corporate and private events, able to host up to 350 people. The grounds and buildings are also available for photo and video shoots.
Styling and antique prop rental are available from Page’s collection of vintage furniture and decorator items. Unique farm-grown flowers are also available for events as well as floral design by appointment.
