Woodlife Farm Market in the Berkshires Experiences Growth and Welcomes Locally Renowned Event Planner

NEW LEBANON, N.Y., Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Woodlife Farm Market has seen sales increase 50% in the past year, and momentum continues to build. With weddings, catering, a concert series, and a full slate of special events ahead, the market expects an even bigger 2026. To support this growth, Woodlife Farm is excited to welcome celebrated local event planner Jillian Schuster, who will lead wedding and special event planning.

"Bringing Jillian on board is a game-changer," said Mike Patten, owner of Woodlife Farm Market. "Her expertise, creativity, and love for the Berkshires will elevate our events to a whole new level."

Jillian will offer her expertise to clients hosting events at the farm, while continuing to run her events company serving the Berkshires, Hudson Valley, and Tri-State Area. With 18 years of experience, she has been featured on The Knot and WeddingWire and planned everything from intimate weddings to large-scale events for brands like HBO, CNN, and Warner Bros., including major productions such as NBA All-Star Weekend and the 2008 Olympics.

For Jillian, it's a dream collaboration. "This is a venue unlike any other," she said. "Between the stunning natural backdrop, the commitment to locally sourced food, and the community spirit here, every event has the potential to be truly unforgettable."

This fall, Woodlife Farm Market is the place to be. The grounds will be alive with autumn color, the scent of barbecue drifts through the air, and visitors can enjoy everything from pumpkin picking to the Annual Land Report Gear Review .

Next up: the 3rd Annual Lobster Fest on Saturday, August 30, from 12 to 6 p.m. Guests can enjoy fresh lobster, BBQ, cold drinks, and live music. Tickets are available now: Register Here.
