In 2020, Sarah Marshall opened Lucille with a simple mission: to bring restaurant-caliber hospitality and sommelier-level knowledge to a friendly, neighborhood wine shop. Visitors will find a broad selection of wines from old-world growers at all price points, plus some other fun surprises. Sarah grew up learning how to cook with her mom. She continued that love of cooking (and cookbooks and wine) throughout college and beyond. After graduating, she landed a job at the legendary Boston restaurant, l’Espalier. There, Sarah learned to pair her homegrown senses of flavor and warmth with a refined appreciation of taste, hospitality, and finesse. Her education continued though other Boston food-and-wine destinations: Central Bottle, BRIX, The Butcher Shop, Stir, The Boston Harbor Hotel, and as Wine Director at Oleanna and Sarma. Sarah is a graduate of Boston University’s Elizabeth Bishop Wine Program, and is a certified sommelier through The Court of Master Sommeliers. Lucille is named after Sarah’s maternal grandmother, whose life was about community, travel, and building a home away from home. Growing up in a military family meant being part of a big neighborhood, which meant cookouts with the entire block of the military base. Lucille relished her role as the community chef, and was always happiest when she was cooking. Soups, casseroles, cookies and pies, hamburgers and homemade French fries years before the fast food boom made them daily staples. In her retirement, Lucille cooked for a fraternity at the University of Tennessee, and boy did she shine! She would tell stories to her daughter, Brenda, about the boys who called her “Mom.” She planned and cooked three meals for fifty boys seven days a week. That’s high math for a woman with only an 8th grade education. Lucille passed on her stories, recipes, and knowledge to Sarah’s mom, Brenda, who in turn gave Sarah her start as a food lover.

The Meadow is a place where people go to relax and unwind after a long day of work. Differences between the two epochs A family-owned and operated cattle farm for more than 40 years, Red Ridge Farm has been producing quality beef. We have more than 50 acres of pasture that is lovely, peaceful, and natural. This land has been cultivated, cared for, and cherished by two generations of my family members. It's quiet, tranquil, and far away from the hectic, chaotic lives that we all lead today. Our daughter came to us in the winter of 2011 and said, "I want my wedding here, at home, in the cow field." This was the beginning of a long journey. We thought she was insane at first, but then we realized that it was the ideal location for her, our nature-loving daughter, and for all of the couples who want to celebrate one of the most significant days of their lives in the midst of all that nature has to offer on their special day. So, on one of the rainiest days of June 2012, she and her love were united in marriage in what turned out to be the most beautiful and memorable wedding any of us had ever witnessed. With character, charm, and beauty...and cows...we provide a one-of-a-kind rustic country setting. It's a field brimming with love from the couples who have made the commitment of a lifetime to one other here in the midst of nature, and from the guy, the farmer, who has tended to and loved the land for the better part of his life. This is where love lives, according to the family and children who live and play here, as well as the animals who roam freely and calmly throughout the day. We would be happy to share this place with you on your special day. As a result, we are conveniently placed in the seaside town of Salisbury, Massachusetts, just minutes from major highways 95 and US-1 and a few miles south of the New Hampshire border.

The mansion's exquisite interiors capture the drama of each day in ever-changing conditions of sunlight and shade, with a slogan of "art for the sake of art, beauty for the sake of beauty." The best backdrop for any event is lush landscaping, gardens, and forest walks. Each of the estate's red-brick and riverstone structures is distinct and intriguing, embracing their natural environment as they did over a century ago. The Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill is one of the best preserved examples of the late-nineteenth-century Aesthetic Design Movement.

The Town of North Andover now owns the Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill, which is maintained by Fireside Catering. A part of the proceeds from our events is re-invested in the estate to help restore and maintain the mansion, estate buildings, and grounds. Five bathrooms have just been restored to their former glory, with magnificent rich colors, antique fixtures, and many original features. By booking The Stevens Estate for your wedding, social event, or meeting, you are assisting in the preservation of this magnificent estate for future generations.
