The Northfork History
In 1961 Peter and Mary Pasteris purchased the property from the Gengler family that dates back to President James Polk with the idea of relaxing on a hillside hobby farm. In 2001, son Peter and Laurie Pasteris built their current home on the farm, and in 2005, began breeding high quality thoroughbred horses in Lexington, Kentucky while raising them on this current property. Upon their retirement from the educational field in 2013, they and their daughters, Carly and Emma, were inspired to pursue utilizing the farm as a wedding venue in conjunction with their successful horse breeding and racing business.
