Patrick’s culinary passion began at a young age. He worked at his uncle’s bakery while learning Culinary Arts in high school and continued his education through culinary school at New England Culinary Institute. He has traveled and worked in many southern restaurants where he has found his niche and developed an eagerness for using food to its highest potential and keeping waste to a minimum. He believes cooking is always evolving and can not wait to see what the future of food will bring.

Will's experience with food began with farming. It was in his time as a grower that he came to appreciate that cooking is more than the sum of constituent ingredients. For Will, the process of designing a menu and preparing a meal is an act of love - for nature, for the farmer, and for the experience of bringing people closer to the land upon which their food is grown.

Months of planning and preparation precede any meal when cooking from seed to plate. It is the happenstance of the season, human labor, and the health of the soil that align to bring food to our tables; and it is in deference to that resilient choreography that Will prepares seasonally sourced menus.

After working in bakeries and kitchens from California to New York in the winter months, Will co-founded Wheelhouse in 2015, which continues its mission of cooking seasonal meals on farms and at private events throughout the Connecticut River Valley. Now you can catch Will foraging in our fields and planning with our local farmers to bring you an incredible farm-to-plate experience here at Valley View Farm.

Suzy grew up in New York City on Park Avenue where she joined her family who have been working in the wedding business for four generations. Her husband, David, grew up down the road from the farm, never knowing that someday that land up on the hill would be his. He is a third generation farmer and maple sugar maker who started boiling sap when he was ten.

Together they have created a secluded wedding destination where his rustic utility and her sophisticated sensibility court one another. They have saved a fallow farm, two historic barns, the original farmhouse, heritage maple and apple trees, and three centuries of farming tradition.

David & Suzy are welcoming, generous, and passionate about the land.

His magnetic personality will keep you calm on wedding day and make your guests feel as if they are in the company of an old friend.
