  • Indoor Barn Seating: Comfortably seats 14 around a single long table (up to 20 for casual gatherings)

  • Indoor-Outdoor Flow: With use of existing tables, chairs, and open-air areas, we can accommodate 20–30 guests for seated meals

The best layout depends on your goals: whether you need everyone at the same table, want to create moments of flow and exploration, or envision a day that unfolds across different areas of the land.
