Driftwood Farms, New York

Experience Driftwood Farms
For centuries the land upon which Driftwood Farms is situated has provided for its inhabitants. They discovered how
to cultivate what would sustain them in this place and how to forage what was already abundant in the field, forest and
sea. Their lives were lived in harmony with this place and as such became part of it. Today, we find ourselves in a
different time than the first settlers. We are not forced to learn to live off the land to survive. However, at Driftwood
Farms, we choose to take the same approach because it links us with this special place that is in the hamlet of Orient,
New York. "Farming provides the means to safeguard the natural beauty of this land and to experience it as it once
was" says Steven Mezynieski, the estate owner, who is passionately driven to maintain the integrity of the property.
"While you are here, you will be transported to a place of old world charm and beauty."

A recent guest put it best "It’s not often that reality matches fantasy, but that’s what you’ll experience at Driftwood
Farms, a new venue for weddings and events. Located in Orient on the tip of Long Island, this is an actual farm for
horses and privets but it feels like a country manor on the coast of Ireland, with vistas, and beauty usually the stuff of
dreams: 140 acres of lush green lawn sweeping right up to 600’ of bluff on Long Island Sound, expansive views of sky
and sea, horses grazing behind fenced lined paddocks, and two enormous barns that are so perfect, anyone would
love to live in them, nonetheless party in them. The barns can easily accommodate a gathering of over 450 guests.
This little bit of magic in Orient is made available by owners Steven and Gretchen Mezynieski who live on the property
and are thrilled to share the land’s beauty with others."
