Let love grow amidst rolling pastures dotted with happy herds & flocks. Breathe the sweet, sylvan air & feel at home surrounded by your family & friends as you marry your sweetie on Windy Hill Farm.
The farm offers the simplicity of scenic vistas, an historic farmhouse, a quaint red barn framed by flourishing green pastures, beautifully restored farm buildings as backdrops, panoramic views of fields, forest, meadows, and gardens, and an assortment of locations for your ceremony and reception.
Pamper and relax before the ceremony in spacious, private changing suites within the farmhouse. Enjoy a permanent, low-water, vault restroom facility and fully solar-powered amenities; add on-site composting and local favors and rest assured that your day will have a profound impact on your loved ones while having a minimal impact on the environment.
A private entrance and onsite parking ensure peace of mind for guests. Nearby Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Burlington boast comfortable lodging and a wealth of interest for out-of-town visitors.
In addition to the amenities included with each wedding, we offer bespoke, a la carte details that we hope will assist in making your vision seamless and effortless. Items available for an additional cost include butter-soft table runners, simple floral centerpieces (super-local and in-season), handmade and homegrown favors, and more.

"Windy Hill Farm was such a lovely place to get married. The family who owns it is absolutely wonderful to work with -- they were really easy to communicate with, offered us extra opportunities to visit the site, and were constantly making upgrades to the space. Every touch is really thoughtful, and our guests really enjoyed themselves at the farm.
The event barn is somehow both spacious and intimate, and was the perfect size for our wedding (about 95 people) dinner and dancing. We loved being able to have the ceremony outside nestled between the farmhouse and a giant old tree. Everyone enjoyed visiting with the goats, and the view from the barn at sunset was gorgeous. We stayed the night in the honeymoon suite in the farmhouse, and were treated to a delicious breakfast the next day."

"We are so thankful to have found Windy Hill Farm for our wedding ceremony & reception! Chiara made every venue visit and conversation so seamless for us. They were so accommodating with us wanting our husky part of our wedding day - it made our day even more special. The renovated bridal suite and grooms suite are so beautiful, y'all did an amazing job with creating those spaces! We loved everything about our wedding day at Windy Hill Farm!"

"Windy Hill Farm is an absolute dream venue! Everything about the space is wonderful- from the awesome reception area to the various ceremony spot options to the bridal suite/honeymoon suite! They had just renovated that space by the time our wedding rolled around, and it is amazing! Plenty of room for all 8 of my bridesmaids and me to hang out in and get ready in before the event (and the room downstairs was perfect for groomsmen, too!).
Everything about this farm is picturesque, and it’s lovely knowing that it’s a working farm and we got to share in their space for a day! We also did our rehearsal dinner on-site, and it was the perfect space to do so.
The entire team at Windy Hill were a joy to work with, ESPECIALLY Chiara, who we absolutely love. She is such a kind, helpful person and she honestly went above & beyond in answering all of our questions and working closely with us up until the day to make sure everything was truly perfect! We cannot speak highly enough about her. She alleviated so much stress for us and made the entire wedding planning process so smooth. We loved every moment of our time with her and every moment we spent on the farm itself- it was amazing! We love, love, loved our experience at Windy Hill and could talk about it for hours! We highly recommend. :)"
