A place where history and landscape come together to welcome new stories.

Nestled in the quiet hills of Northumberland County, Fogorig Mill has stood since 1834 as both a place of gathering and a symbol of resilience. Built by Scottish settler Captain Thomas Allan, its name ties back to his homeland “Fogo” for the village he left behind, and “rig” for the ridge that rises just beyond the mill. In its early days, the mill’s steam-driven wheels turned grain into flour for neighbouring farms, filling the valley with the hum of work and the scent of fresh harvests. Today, though the stones are weathered and the wheels long stilled, the mill’s spirit remains: rustic, enduring, and quietly romantic, a place where history and landscape come together to welcome new stories.

Miranda de Vries

I’m Miranda, the planner, designer, and host behind Fogorig Grange. I run the property day to day and will be your main point of contact, guiding your event from first email to final farewell.

Once you’ve booked your event at Fogorig if you require planning or design services or floral design, I’m your gal. Let’s chat about it!

I’m drawn to gatherings that feel warm and intentional, where hospitality comes first and guests feel genuinely cared for. I love the flow of a well-planned day, beautiful tables, good food and drink, and the quiet magic that happens when people settle in and feel at home.

When I’m not planning or hosting, you’ll find me walking the property with my husky puppy, experimenting with new cocktails and recipes, planning for the next show to see or playing the piano.

Fogorig is built on the belief that the best events don’t feel overproduced, they feel welcoming, thoughtful, and so good you forget to check the time.
