I asked ChatGPT to decorate our event restrooms so I could get some inspo. Everything it did was highly impractical, particularly the suggestion of adding a “Get Naked” sign for some “cheeky humor”. Guests…. Please do not get naked at an event. No cheeks allowed. 0/10 stars for ChatGPT today. I’m looking for help with decor/design/layout for interior and exterior spaces so if anyone is experienced in hospitality spaces and could be interested in a trade, let’s connect 😊

The farmhouse is officially BOOKED for guests during Thanksgiving and Christmas AND New Years ✨

But if you're looking for a little getaway (or someplace to stay in the Bangor area while visiting family this holiday season), I just opened the calendar for our sweet little cabin 🌲

Sleeps 4-7 with one private bedroom and two loft areas.

Also, a question for you: When traveling, does having a hot tub impact whether or not you book a space? Convince us (or not) 🙃

**Update: it's booked!**

🍂🦃 Hosting Thanksgiving but don’t have quite enough space?

BYOT to the Farmhouse at Meadow Ridge Farm! It's the perfect solution. With space for up to 18 overnight guests (and plenty of room around the table), you can gather the whole crew without squeezing everyone into your own dining room.

✨ What you’ll love:

A fully equipped kitchen for your feast
Cozy farmhouse vibes with modern comforts
Room for the whole family to stay overnight
Just 15 minutes from Bangor

Make this year’s Thanksgiving stress-free and extra special. Book the farmhouse and focus on what matters most: family, food, and that post-turkey nap.

You bring the turkey, we handle cleanup!

📅 Now booking for November. Link in comments.

New brides! Past brides! Or grooms 🙃 We need your help!

We’re scheming up a micro-wedding package and want to know: if you were planning something simple and stress-free, what would be your “must-haves”?

Here’s what we’re thinking so far:
💍 One-day rental (8am–10pm)
🪩 Max 50 guests
🖤 Venue: The Loft (tables + chairs included, with AC/heat)
📖 Officiant (plus help writing your ceremony)
🍹 Two bartenders + setup for a cash bar (beer, wine, champagne, + 2 signature cocktails - you can pick up the tab if you want to turn it into an open bar!)
🌲 Ceremony by the pond (weather permitting) or indoors in winter
💄 Use of the farmhouse for getting ready (no overnight stay, but you can add a night in the bridal suite or log cabin if you want a cozy newlywed spot)
📸 Photographer for 4 hours (add more if you want)
🎶 DJ for 6 hours (ceremony + reception)
🍴 Full catering with a pre-set menu you can customize (“pick 3” style, with adjustments for dietary needs)
📋 Day-of coordinator for 7 hours (this is necessary, don't questions us here!)

This would be valid for Wednesdays during peak season and weekends in off-season (Dec–April).

👉 Yay or nay? What would you add (or cut) to make this your dream micro-wedding package? Would anyone actually be brave enough to go for a Wednesday wedding?

💬 And here’s the part we really need your feedback on… if you saw all of this bundled together, what would you EXPECT a package like this to cost, and what would you WANT it to cost? There's a difference 🙃

✨ Calling all local makers + small businesses ✨

We’ve officially opened the Wintergreen Loft at Meadow Ridge Farm in Winterport for off-season workshops + events! 🖤

Think:
🌲Wreath making
📸 Photography classes
🕯 Candle making workshops
🌱 Terrarium design
🧘 Yoga + wellness classes
🎨 Creative trainings + more

The Loft seats up to 75 indoors (110 mixed seating/standing). BYOB permitted. Weekday rates are lower, weekends a little higher... we’re keeping it fair + accessible while covering costs. (If you’re a fellow entrepreneur, I’d love your feedback on pricing too!)

Here’s how it works:
✔️ You handle ticketing + teaching
✔️ We provide the welcoming space + help promote your event to our own audience

If you’ve been looking for a beautiful, unique space to host your next gathering, let’s chat!

Here's the problem we are running into...

Nobody knows we are here 😥

PLEASE HELP US get the word out and TAG your favorite local small business that you'd love to see host a class/workshop/gathering in this space. We will love you even more if you take it a step further and share this to your own page (or your business page!).

Let’s fill the Loft with creativity this season ✨

🌾 When we opened Meadow Ridge Farm back in 2018, we were the first venue with on-site lodging in this part of Maine.

Now? Venues are everywhere. From busy tourist hotspots along the coast to areas so remote you'll see more moose than cell phone bars.

Still, even with all those options, our dates book up 18–24 months in advance... usually by couples who aren't from Maine at all.

So… why?

We started asking. And the answers were beautifully consistent:

✨ It’s quiet. Really quiet. No honking. No sirens. Just you, your favorite people, and the wind through the trees.
🌌 You can see the stars. (Personally, I've never lived in a city, so I didn't realize many people go long stretches without a clear view of the sky) Bonus: we have a lot fireflies... which adds to the magic.
🚗 There’s no traffic. Everyone moves a bit slower out here, but that's okay.
🦌 The wildlife. Sit by the pond and you're bound to watch an osprey and eagle battle over a fish. We have a mama deer that takes her baby out around 7pm every evening. And kids always get a kick out of the mega bullfrogs in the pond.
💛 But most of all… it feels like a bubble. One of those rare places where time slows down, everyone’s present, and core memories are made. Our couples love the beauty of the farm, but they positively cherish the way it feels to be here.

No, we’re not *that* remote. Winterport, Maine, is 15 min from Bangor’s airport (along with major hotel chains), 30 to Belfast, and an hour to Acadia. But when you’re here, it feels like the middle of nowhere... in the best possible way.

And what makes it magic ✨

☀️ Anyone else feel like Maine summers are getting hotter?! If you love hazy summer nights but hate the idea of dancing in 98% humidity... we get it.

Come tour the new Wintergreen Loft at Meadow Ridge Farm - a year-round space with A/C + heat, space for up to 75 guests, and on-site lodging options... all just 15 minutes from Bangor. Off-season pricing starts at $6,000 (Nov–May).

🚨 Website down. Emotions up. 🚨

Raise your hand if you think our IT department should be fired. 🙋‍♀️

(It’s me. I’m the IT department. I also do landscaping, marketing, construction, and chicken tending.)

Here’s the deal:
🌐 Our website is currently down because the card on file for our hosting expired. Oops.
📧 Our email is also down, because apparently when it rains, it monsoons.
📶 We’ve had internet issues for the last two weeks and finally switched providers today. New equipment is en route, but in the meantime, we’re over here holding it all together with hopes and dreams.
🥸 Meta thought I was an imposter, so I got locked out for a bit.

We know this is the busiest time of year for couples booking 2026 weddings, and the timing could not be worse. So if you've been trying to reach us - you're not being ignored! We're just pretending it's 1998 over here.

In the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous photo of one of our couples to remind you:
✨ We’re still here. The farm is still magic. And we’ll be back online very soon.

Need us right now? Send a message or carrier pigeon.

And since we are already back in the 90's, I'd like to leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Ross Geller: "I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, because really, I'm fine."

🌧️ Rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck across many cultures... it's a symbol of cleansing, renewal, and lasting love. After all, a wet knot is harder to untie!

Even on a misty Maine day, Meadow Ridge Farm is magical. The air smells like pine and lavender, the barn glows a little warmer, and love feels cozier than ever 🖤

A little (or a lot) of rain won't ruin your wedding day... it will make it unforgettable ✨

It’s more than a wedding. Your family, your traditions, and your love deserve to be celebrated 🪩 We’re here for the couples who understand that this is the one moment in time when everyone they love is together... surrounded by nature + creating memories that will last a lifetime 🖤

If you think painting 20+ chairs (by hand) on the first warm + sunny day of spring sounds like a good time, you’d be wrong 😂 But here we are. Getting closer! 💪🏻☀️🖤
