Weddings and rehearsal dinners at the farm

White Gates Farm wants to host your wedding, or the wedding of someone you love! We just went live with our wedding page where you can find more details and some event inspiration.

Non-traditional Rehearsal dinner locations are hard to find in the Lakes Region and White Mountains, but the farm is a wonderful place that’s relaxing, PRIVATE, and gorgeous. It allows guests to experience a farm atmosphere as part of the entire wedding celebration, even if you don’t want to have your actual big-day at a farm.

Thinking about the weddings we’ve hosted here, each couple brings their own unique flavor and personality to the occasion and we feel blessed. It’s so special to be able to share our farm with people.

This is such a special setting with some of the most stunning views of New Hampshire’s mountains (including Red Hill, the Ossipee Mountain Range, and the Sandwich Range) and spectacular sunsets. And did we mention that you can actually see the stars at night here?

 

 

Spring is around the corner!

We just posted our Farm to Table dinner events for 2017. Have a look!  What is new on the farm this season?  We will be adding our Pizza Wagon with Weekend Night Sunset Pizzas this Spring.  Our tentative kickoff date is Saturday, July 8th.  Stay tuned for our dedicated page for details.  Also our wedding page just launched on our website.  New this year, an expanded flower garden for cut flowers…………cut your own, or order your bouquet directly from the farm. 

How was your winter?  Ours has been a little long, but was broken up by more local farmer’s markets this year in Tamworth. We also were fortunate enough to participate in the market at Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford from time to time.  Hank and I took a little sojourn to visit dear friends in Florida as well, thanks to Ryan who took care of the farm for us while we were away. Now it’s onto ordering seeds, planting, and finishing up the new greenhouse. 

Don’t forget to order your Fall Pig soon.  A reminder will be going out to all of our past customers.  He who hesitates doesn’t bring home the bacon!!  Until next time………………..
