A Winter Elopement Styled Two Ways

Archer Farms is proud to have hosted our very first styled photoshoot featuring female and veteran owned businesses from Coos Bay and North Bend. Every single vendor brought their very best to the table to create a winter "elopement" in two styles: traditional holiday, and rustic boho. Angie's vision for Archer Farms is to be a specialty farm, not just for our eclectic collection of animals, but for our products, our food and how we view the dining, wedding, and elopement experience should be. We want to be a part of your discovery for adventure, for something different, new and exciting.

The interior of the 100 year old red barn was completely transformed by the impeccable designs of Robyn from Petal to the Metal Flowers, with a decadent spread of hors d'oeuvres and and an artisanal charcuterie spread that spanned the length of the table by Tara and John from Wildflour Cafe and Catering. Owner, and former carpenter, Angie hand-crafted a bohemian archway that was hung with an macramé masterpiece by Mikayla. At the center of the bar and breezeway was a beautiful naked cake by Jalaika from Sweet Gems Bakery. Directly outside the barn was Natalie, owner of The Tipsy Willow, who was serving "Archer Farms Hippie Mules" out of her mobile bar.

Thank you to the photographers who came and captured our first special event on the farm: H.Koell Photography, Gabrielle Colton Photography, Moore Walter Photo Co., and 9.29.5 Photography. We hope you enjoy the day through their eyes.

Last Words From Angie:

"As a female veteran, business owner and mother to a five year old son, I know the trials we go through to get a business off the ground. It’s not easy, it’s down right exhausting and most people end up quitting. That is why at Archer Farms, we choose to highlight female business owners, new businesses and creatives alike. We are looking for out of the box thinkers, the entrepreneur, a product or idea that sets you, and us apart, from the norm. If you bring me your “A game”, I’ll promote you as best as I can.. because we are in this together."
