Stork’s Rest Farm is a 65 acre farm tucked away in the North Carolina country side in the small town of Sims. Just a quick 20 minute drive away from the nearest city of Wilson and a 40 minute drive from the state’s capital, Raleigh.

Stork’s Rest Farm began to emerge in the early 90’s and has slowly grown into what you will see today. Manner House was completed in 2005 when owners, Dr. John and Joan Larsen, took full residency in 2017.

What’s in a name? The name Stork’s Rest Farm was coined after Dr. John Larsen. Dr. Larsen is a decorated OB/GYN and has spent the majority of his life delivering babies. As old tales have it, storks delivered babies. Dr. Larsen, in delivering babies, became the stork and he comes to this magnificent farm to rest, “Stork’s Rest Farm”.

Manner House, the main house on Stork’s Rest Farm was aptly named as a play on words based on the School of Etiquette and Protocol.

When planning for Stork’s Rest Farm, Joan Larsen, the matriarch and driving force behind all things SRF always knew it was destined to be shared. It is a magical place that you immediately feel when you arrive. She felt that and with each new phase she had sharing it with the public in mind. Now she has opened the doors to the public after almost 15 years and couldn’t be more excited!

Here at Stork’s Rest Farm the sky is the limit. There are a multitude of things offered and for anything thats not, it’s just a phone call away to see if there is a way to make it happen.

Stork’s Rest Farm is a magical place that is meant to be shared, a place meant for special moments, a place that can turn seemingly ordinary moments into remarkable ones! Stork’s Rest Farm welcomes you with open arms, we are here for you!

T H E P E R F E C T V E N U E Make your special day even more special while surrounding yourself and your guests with breathtaking views at Stork's Rest Farm. Stork's Rest Farm makes the perfect outdoor venue for Weddings, Class Reunions, Business Meetings, Club or Organization Meetings, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, and Gender Reveals.
