    Beautiful atmosphere

    Days after my mom passed, I was searching for a venue for her memorial service. Thank God I found Urban Adamah. Tyler and Libby were so kind, responsive, and supportive while I was navigating logistical details in the middle of grief. The location is truly an oasis. There is so much love and care poured into maintaining the space, and you can feel it both physically and emotionally. On the day of the service, they were helpful with setup and helped everything run smoothly. Our family and my mom's friends were able to enjoy the beauty and welcoming atmosphere while sharing loving stories and memories of her. I am truly grateful to have found Urban Adamah during such an important and difficult chapter of my life.

    Amazing venue for all occasions

    Urban Adamah was the perfect fit for our needs. From our first conversation through the final details, their team stayed in touch and answered every question we had without delay. The staff was friendly and genuinely excited to help us plan, and they really made us feel taken care of. The farm setting is absolutely gorgeous, the food delicious, and the accommodations were quality and fun with private and bunk style rooms. Everything came together seamlessly for our big weekend, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful space and delicious meal. Highly recommend Urban Adamah!!

    A Serene and Beautiful Event Space

    If you’re looking for a nature-inspired setting for a ceremony or reception, Urban Adamah is truly a special place to consider. We recently hosted an event there and were so impressed—not only by the beauty of the space, but by how supportive and knowledgeable the staff were throughout the entire process. The setting itself is stunning. Every detail—from the landscaping to the thoughtfully designed architecture and interiors—feels intentional and welcoming. It creates a peaceful, grounded atmosphere that’s perfect for meaningful gatherings. What really stood out, though, was the team onsite. The event manager we worked with was incredibly attentive, responsive, and able to answer all of our questions with ease. Their warmth and deep familiarity with the space made everything run smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the event rather than worrying about logistics. It was such a positive experience, and I would happily return to host another event there in the future.

    Extraordinary team!

    We hosted a welcome dinner for 130 guests at our son's wedding. The year of planning with Tyler and team was a delight. Their attention to detail and the final execution at the beautiful event were beyond our expectations! And the food is still being raved about!

    Lovely joyous wedding at Urban Adamah

    Urban Adamah was an exceptionally wonderful venue for our wedding. All the staff were very helpful and enjoyable to work with. The setting itself - with the flowers, fruiting trees, vegetation, goats ... adding so much - had all the spaces we needed for ceremony, gathering, meals. We highly recommend!

Urban Adamah is committed to operating our campus with as little negative environmental impact as possible. This 3% fee helps cover the cost of environmental projects on site and is added to the final rental fee. Using funds collected from our rental program, we installed enough solar panels on site to cover 100% of our annual electricity needs. We also completed a site-wide grey water system that diverts used shower and laundry water from the Camp Street Residence to our perennial plants. This system saves us more than 20,000 gallons of water per year. Thank you for helping us make a difference.
Glitter and confetti are not allowed at UA events due to the difficulty to clean up properly. Candles may be used for ceremonial purposes, only for the duration of those services and not for decorative purposes. No push-pins, thumbtacks, or nails are allowed. Any damage to site from non-approved adhesive methods will be deducted from security deposit.
Site hosts are available to help with the execution and flow of your event. They may set up and break down furniture, maintain restrooms, greet guests, answer questions and act as a resource should a last minute need arise. They also ensure safe enjoyment of the site, provide direction in case of emergency, and make sure the site is properly closed at the conclusion of each event.
You are welcome to self-cater, work with a caterer of your choice, or use one of Urban Adamah’s preferred caterers. If UA’s kitchen will be used, there is a kitchen use and cleaning fee, which varies depending on the usage details. Please note that UA’s kitchen is vegetarian kosher, so it NOT available for use if meat is being served other than kosher fish.

The farm is a special place, full of non-human life. The plants and animals on here are our friends, and they require delicate handling to be healthy. Please do not feed our farm friends or enter animal enclosures unless accompanied by an Urban Adamah staff member. Please do not pick from the fields or trees, as nearly everything we grow here on the farm is donated to people in our community who don’t have access to fresh food. In general, please remind your guests to be kind to our living friends on the farm, and don’t hesitate to send any specific questions our way!
Yes. When serving alcohol, we require the rental group to be fully responsible for ensuring that no alcohol is consumed by any guests younger than 21. You may not sell alcohol as part of your event.
