If you walk around the front of the "Big House" you will come across a tennis court with additional pickleball lines. We plan on playing Saturday before the wedding! A mixed doubles tournament may be in the cards if we get enough interest.
We have all sorts of lawn games for Saturday before the ceremony and Sunday. Including but not limited to spike ball, horse shoes, kubb, whiffle ball, volley ball, ping pong, and croquet.
Bring your swim stuff! It's always a lovely time down at the lake to swim, canoe, and kayak. Bring your binoculars too, lots of loons and eagles to watch.
- Check out our cute town of Lancaster, NH! - Farmer's market is on Saturday morning and only a 7 minute drive from the farm! - Stop in at the Polish Princess for breakfast & pastries - Granite Grind for coffee or lunch (homemade bread too) - Taproot Marketplace for awesome produce from local farmers to enjoy or bring home! -Copper pig for some local beer!

If cruising around a cute New England town interests you, Littleton should be high on your list! Around a 30 minute drive from the farm, we particularly love: - The farmer's market on Sunday - Schillings (great beer and pizza) -The co-op for local groceries -Just L Modern (our favorite vintage shop) - Crumb Bar (amazing bakery) the duck fat biscuit sandwiches are really good - Bella Funk (fun boutique)!
Our Welcome party location is also a nice morning activity! This 1.2 mile walk to the top of Mt. Prospect is an easy hike and a great use of a couple hours on a beautiful day. There's a museum at the top for those interested. It's also a nice place to bring a picnic. Once you reach the top of Mt. Prospect, the grounds provide a 360-degree panorama of mountain splendor, including the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, the Green Mountains of Vermont, the Kilkenny Range, the Percy Peaks, and the upper Connecticut River Valley. For those less eager to walk, there is parking available at the top.
