Organic Farm and Premier Wedding Destination | Janet Mckee

In this week’s episode of The Venue Rx podcast, our host Jonathan Aymin welcomes Janet Mckee owner of Sanaview Farms, a 52-acre Historic Landmark farm located in the heart of the Laurel Mountains of Pennsylvania. Janet shares her story of transforming a historic farm into the beloved wedding venue. From her corporate background to her journey into holistic health and farm ownership, Janet reflects on the challenges and triumphs along the way. Initially envisioned as a space for teaching natural living, the farm encountered financial struggles until weddings emerged as a key source of stability. Janet highlights the significance of energy, mindset, and gratitude in navigating both her personal evolution and business success. Over time, Sanaview Farms has expanded its offerings, introducing amenities such as a cafe, winery, lodging and a space for workshops and retreats. Janet's unwavering commitment to delivering value and fostering positive experiences for clients is what drives her to show up day in and day out.
