Established in 1750 as an English land grant in the picturesque White Mountains of Maine (then the “Massachusetts Bay Colony”), Hardy Farm remained in the same family for ten generations prior to being purchased by Greg and Deborah Link in 2001.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brewster Academy was the perfect place to host our wedding. First of all, the views from the spot are absolutely amazing - right on the lake, with a sunset view of the lake and mountains in the background. We loved having our ceremony and taking photos along the waterfront (and there are a bunch of different spots for photos). The use of the boathouse is great - it's a great building for people to hang out, store stuff, use bathrooms, etc. Everyone we worked with at Brewster was super organized, friendly, and communicative. We had nice weather, and our guests loved playing yard games outside of our reception tent. Plenty of room on the field for caterers to set up prep tents, etc. too. Highly recommend!

The barn at ColdSpring Farm was built in 2008-09 and updated as a venue in 2019. It is a true post and beam barn intended originally for our horses but they prefer to be outside no matter what the weather or season! The barn is rustic yet elegant and has many lovely features to facilitate your special day! The downstairs is fully equipped for dining or dancing, cocktails or even your ceremony should rain threaten. The upstairs is bright, open and typically where dinner is served and a great place for dancing into the evening. A sweet Bride's Cottage sits near our ceremony area. It is a magical little cottage meant for the bride and her party. The ceremony area is fully of live edge benches and a beautiful cedar arbor. And finally, the patio has a large fire pit, a bocce court, rustic tables and plenty of spots for s'mores and fun throughout your day and evening.
