There are several airports you can use to get to Lewistown, PA. State College University Park Airport (SCE) is 45 minutes away and Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) is 1 hour away. Altoona-Blair County (AOO) is 1.5 hours away, but the State College University Park and Altoona airports are smaller and do not have many direct flight options. Harrisburg International Airport has several non-stop flights from major airports such as Fort Lauderdale, Boston, Charlotte, Newark, and Philadelphia. Lewistown is 2.5 hours from the Baltimore (BWI) airport and 3 hours from the Philadelphia (PHL) airport, both larger cities/airports with more flight options. We also recommend traveling via Amtrak train with drop-off at The Lewistown, PA - Amtrak Station (LEW) as another method of travel. Many of our guests will likely be driving up or down the East coast as well. Please refer to the "Travel" page for more details on getting to the Farm.

Shade Mountain Farm has been in Janie's family for generations. Her great-grandparents purchased the land in 1927, when it was a working dairy farm. The Kauffman family now leases the land to a local farmer. Growing up, Janie flew from Georgia to Pennsylvania to visit her grandparents, play with Darla (the farmer's daughter) feeding the barn cats and baby cows, and spend time with all of her extended family. The farm is no longer an active dairy farm, but is still farmed for corn, soy beans, wheat, and other crops. It remains a staple of the Kauffman family and is used for holidays, celebrations, and most importantly, weddings. It is an amazing and nostalgic location. The family has done a phenomenal job keeping the farm up to date and beautiful. Major additions have been made to keep up with the growing family. We are both thrilled for you to experience this wonderful place and hope you love it as much as we do.

The weather in Lewistown in September is pleasantly warm, humid but cool, with average highs of 73-77°F and lows in the 50s. It is overcast approximately 36% of the time. No matter rain, shine or unexpected cold front, we will have shade, heat, and fans available.

Janie's Uncle J.B. has been brewing beer for decades, and it has become a rite of passage to have some home-brewed kegs at your wedding. Enjoy a flight during cocktail hour of J.B.'s home-brewed English Mild, Belgian Wit, and IPA.

The wedding will take place in 100% grass, so please leave your pointy heels at home! Attire is semi-formal, so clothing such as dresses, dressy separates or a coat and tie are all appropriate.

Janie's friend, Molly Jennings, is a talented graphic designer and agreed to gift Janie and William a wedding logo for all of their wedding festivities. The logo is featured on the save-the-dates, wedding invitations, cocktail napkins and more to come! Molly creatively incorporated the Furman University bell tower between the J and W as a symbol of how Janie and William met!
