About us:

Hello!  We are your hosts, Jae & Jodie Starling.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us and what we can offer you at our family farm, The Starling Homestead.
We were married here, under the olive trees on the front lawn in 2022.
Relaxed, joyful and intimate, this simple ceremony sparked the idea which has led us to where we are today, sharing our property with others for small country rustic weddings and elopements. ​
