The Farm

Our History

The farm has been family-owned and operated since 1797.

Back in 1797 my 6th great grandfather, Isaac Manchester, purchased this property from captain Samuel Teter. This farm has been family owned and operated for over 2 centuries.

About Us

Inspired by our own love

When my wife Meagen and I decided to get married, we thought of no better place then right here, where so many of my ancestors had been wed before. After careful planning and consideration, we decided we wanted to share in this beauty with everyone. For the first time, Bella Vista is opening their doors as a wedding venue!

Beyond The Farm

Tucked away in the rolling hills of southwestern Pennsylvania, Avella feels like a step back in time. It’s the kind of place where tree-lined streets and quiet, rural beauty create a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Neighbors know each other by name, and there’s a sense of warmth and connection that’s hard to find in bigger towns. With its rich history and the surrounding farmland stretching out across gentle hills, Avella has managed to hold on to its small-town charm. The town’s character shines through in its historical landmarks and the stunning vistas that seem to be around every corner. And while it feels like a world apart, it’s just a short 45-minute drive from Pittsburgh, offering the perfect balance of country living with the conveniences of the city nearby.
