What People Are Saying

Discover what our community thinks about MADhouse Farms.

I hosted our February bookclub meeting at MADhouse farm and it was amazing. They set up comfortable seating for us under the overhang of the stables overlooking the pastures. We walked through the greenhouses, toured the property and watched the sunset. It was more than we could have asked for and then some. Book your next event here, you won’t regret it!
