Fern Valley Farms LLC

Fern Valley Farms LLC is a family-owned apple orchard and wedding venue in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, with roots dating back to 1894. Originally established by the Rice Family as a wholesale apple supplier, the orchard became a community gathering place over generations. Dan Fernandes and his father Bill revitalized the property in 2016, opening it to the public for pick-your-own experiences. Since Dan's purchase in 2017, the Fernandes family has transformed the working orchard into a wedding and event venue. The venue offers outdoor ceremony and reception spaces overlooking the Pioneer Valley, surrounded by mature apple trees and varied landscape. Wedding ceremonies take place in the scenic orchard with valley views as a backdrop. Receptions are held in a tented area that can be configured with string lighting, round tables, and floral arrangements. The natural orchard setting provides opportunities for wedding photography throughout the property. Fern Valley Farms hosts weddings, receptions, graduations, and birthday parties. The venue works with local vendor partnerships to coordinate events. The team welcomes inquiries for couples interested in booking the orchard for their celebration.
