ABOUT EVERGREEN LANE

Where connection, clarity, and community take root.

Evergreen Lane began as a space for our own family gatherings — simple moments filled with joy, conversation, and the people we love. Those early celebrations showed us how meaningful it is to have a place where everyone feels welcome, grounded, and connected.

Over time, we realized our rural community needed a peaceful, intentional gathering space like this too.

A place to come together.
A place to slow down.
A place to feel supported and inspired.

What started as private family moments has grown into something bigger — a cozy event space and community hub for celebrations, wellness, creativity, and the simple beauty of people gathering with purpose.

Who We Are

We’re Jason and Cara — the husband-and-wife team behind Evergreen Lane Events.

Jason takes care of the land, the projects, the improvements, and the behind-the-scenes details that keep Evergreen Lane running smoothly. He also prepares and cuts the wood for our outdoor wood-burning sauna, keeping that cozy experience ready for our guests.

Cara manages the events, scheduling, community gatherings, entrepreneur meetups, and the creative vision behind the space.

Together, we’ve built a place that reflects both of us — practical, peaceful, welcoming, and rooted in purpose.

A Piece of Our Story

Inside the event center you’ll see two vintage DIVCO milk trucks — a 1944 and a 1957. They’re here as a tribute to Jason’s dad, who had a dairy farm on this farm in the late 1950s and 60s. They’re a meaningful nod to our family’s roots and a unique part of Evergreen Lane.

Evergreen Lane is a space we’ve poured our hearts into — a place for celebrations, community, creativity, and connection. We’re grateful to share it with others, and we hope it feels as warm and welcoming to you as it does to our family.

We’re honored you’re here.
