St Joe Farm is steeped in local history. Since 1867, its roots have been firmly attached to the University of Notre Dame and surrounding communities. It was Father Edward Sorin who sought out a new venue for producing food for the rapidly growing Notre Dame. Since establishing the site, Holy Cross Brothers and Sisters farmed alongside generations of laypeople raising fruit, vegetables, and livestock; carrying on the tradition that started more than 120 years ago.

Today the 1,200-acre farm is privately owned and includes 29 buildings. It’s our beautifully restored Saint Joseph’s Barn that is our showstopper. Its elegant wood beams and high lofted peaks are the perfect backdrops for formal weddings and informal gatherings.

The pastoral grounds surrounding the barn and the historic setting provide wonderful opportunities for photos. Personalize your experience with vast indoor and outdoor options. We understand that it’s the little things that will make your event truly unforgettable. That’s why St Joe Farm is the perfect choice for your special day.
