Ken & Jo Anne Gerry

Ken and Jo-Anne share a deep love for farming and landscaping, having both grown up in families with strong agricultural roots. Ken's passion for cultivating the land began in his childhood, and he has lived on the farm his entire life, except for his time at the University of Arizona, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Horticulture.

 

He and Jo-Anne met in Tucson and have been married for 50 years. Over the years, Ken’s dedication to growing has only deepened, now reflected in the meticulous care he devotes to his orchards and blueberry fields.

Ken and Jo-Anne wanted to share the beauty of their property with the public, and in 2014, they obtained a permit through Ventura County to host weddings on their land. Alongside their youngest daughter, Jaclyn, who serves as the venue manager, they have had the privilege of hosting over 500 weddings in the past 11 years.

If I could go back and do it all over again, I would and I would do it exactly the same. Everything about our entire wedding day was perfect. The coordinators worked their magic to make every minute of our wedding perfect. We had NO hiccups!

I loved being in a beautiful venue with mountain scenery.

You feel at home with all the gorgeous views of California.
