The mission of King Cole Farm is to offer families and friends a place to come together to make unforgettable memories in the property’s stunning spaces.  Joy has always come from sharing the farm. The farm was originally owned by Audrey Owens Draper and Harry Draper of Milton, Delaware.  Harry was an owner of the King Cole Canning Company.  In 2003, the main residence was built and, in 2006, the pole barn was completed by Sally Draper Dickerson and Chester T. Dickerson Jr., as their residence and farming operation. Throughout the years, they often celebrated weddings, anniversaries, reunions, birthdays, and holidays there with many friends and family members!   It was their wish upon passing to keep the property operational and maintained for generations to come.  Jim and Annemarie relocated to Delaware to continue that legacy of gathering and celebration.  
Specializing in weddings, the team at King Cole Farm can create an event that is the perfect start to customers’ “happily ever after.”  In addition, King Cole Farm is a great venue for family reunions, meetings, small group getaways, corporate events, fundraisers, charity events and more!  Property tours are available by appointment.  With everything from tables, linens, and chairs to wedding planning services, ample parking, dance floor bridal suite and more, King Cole Farm offers two options on the weekends: day of event only pricing and full weekend pricing, reduced daily prices are offered during the week.
King Cole Farm is a proud member of the Central Delaware community and is eager to give back by continuing their family’s tradition and offering a beautiful event venue to the surrounding community.   They are interested in assisting nonprofits and other local agencies by helping to create a space for their events.  In addition, they are excited to be part of the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce so that they can be engaged in the community.
