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.

Celebrate your special day amidst some of the most spectacular scenery in the Northeast. The 2,100-acre Crane Estate is an unforgettable destination for your special event with its winding salt marshes, miles of barrier beach, and beautiful hilltop mansion. Chicago industrialist Richard T. Crane, Jr. first purchased the land that would become The Crane Estate in 1910. Crane was captivated by the beautiful landscape, and over the next two decades worked with some of America's leading architects and landscape architects to shape his summer retreat, sited with hilltop vistas of the Atlantic in an area of the property known as Castle Hill. In 1928, Castle Hill was crowned with a 59-room Stuart-style mansion designed by world-renowned architect David Adler. Today, the Crane family mansion is known as The Great House on The Crane Estate and is protected, along with the rest of Castle Hill, as a 165-acre National Historic Landmark.
