Regenerative Stewardship. Boutique Venue. We don’t “turn and burn” weddings; we intentionally book fewer than 20 per year. You'll be one of the few to say you got married at Hawk & Hawthorne. Community-Powered. We are an intentional community of artists and entrepreneurs. Each crew member calls the Hawk “home.” Practicing Permaculture. The Hawk is both a professional event venue, residential community and working food & flowers farm. This barn is not just for show!
