We built a new 500+ sq ft pavilion (16′ x 32′) to hold our farm camps, cooking demonstrations, host our u-pick flower area and more. When not in use for farm activities, it can be rented for your group.
The Farmview Pavilion is rented and managed by Glade Road Growing, which is separate from Rising Silo Brewery.
Your rental supports farm education activities here at Glade Road Growing.
- The rental fee is $150 for the first 2 hours and $50 each hour thereafter.
- Optional: Add a 45 minute private farm tour for your group for $150.
Our pavilion’s open-air design immerses you in a front-seat view of our farmscape and is conveniently on site with Rising Silo Brewery. We built this structure ourselves using local rough-cut oak lumber.
You’ll love renting the farm pavilion to:
- Have a peaceful covered spot for your family and friends to enjoy an evening beside the farm
- Host a group meeting in a unique “unplugged” outdoor setting
- Support local farm education through your rental contribution
