If you’re hunting for that perfect mix of rustic charm and modern-day convenience in Dayton, then look no further than Polen Farm, nestled sweetly in the heart of Kettering at 5099 Bigger Road—yep, just minutes from everywhere and yet it feels like you're miles away from the hustle. This place is like stepping into a country fairytale, with its classic white farmhouse, vintage red barn, and 20 acres of green, open space that practically begs for photoshoots, sunset walks, and “I do” moments. It's got that quiet, peaceful vibe that makes you want to breathe a little deeper and stay a little longer. Originally a working farm dating back to the 1800s, this gem was scooped up by the city of Kettering and turned into a community treasure. Today, it’s one of Dayton’s go-to spots for events, especially weddings. And it’s easy to see why—between the wraparound porch, wood-paneled barn, charming gazebo, and rolling fields, this place has major cozy-elegant energy. You’ll find the barn equipped with twinkling lights, vaulted ceilings, and space for up to 200 guests—it’s basically every rustic Pinterest wedding board come to life.

🎯Why You’ll Love Polen Farm

• The Barn: Classic, open, warm, and decked out for unforgettable parties

• The Farmhouse: Ideal for bridal suites, baby showers, family reunions, and more

• The Grounds: Beautiful year-round, with fall foliage and spring blooms stealing the show

Now let’s talk surroundings—because when you’re done enjoying Polen Farm itself, there’s plenty more nearby to keep the good vibes going. Just up the road you’ve got Grant Park, a 189-acre wonderland of woods, trails, and creeks—perfect for a hike or a lazy afternoon picnic. If you’re craving caffeine or a sweet treat, Winans Coffee & Chocolate on Far Hills Ave is a local fave (trust us, their buckeyes are ridiculous). You’re also only a hop from The Greene Town Center, where you can grab a bite, do some boutique shopping, or catch a flick if you’re in chill mode. Looking to take some epic photos? Polen Farm is stunning in every season, but that fall foliage in October is straight-up next-level, so bring your camera and thank us later.
