Black Sheep Shelter provides a rustic venue with modern and minimalist tones and connects its guests to a hyper local food experience and a zero waste business. The venue rests adjacent to a two-acre farm which is framed by a trellis for hardy kiwi, grapes, and flowering vines that doubles as our deer fence. Unadorned and vintage, they have favored natural building materials and ancient environmental truths. Warmth runs through the patina and the time worn brick and wood.
As a wedding and event venue, Black Sheep Shelter offers a space unlike the typical barn wedding and different from a traditional outdoor wedding. The skeleton of an existing barn was renovated into a new creation-a uniquely open-sided shelter with an understory that welcomes the outdoors by structurally extending into a large cottage garden area. These dry bones are waking with new life, supporting native woodbine, clematis and hydrangea vines.
