Timber Hill Farm is a family-operated farm-to-table wedding and event venue in Gilford, New Hampshire, in the heart of the Lakes Region. The farm has been in agricultural production for nearly 250 years, with the Howe family stewarding the land for two generations. Andy Howe established the Beans & Greens Farm Stand on the property in 1989, and in 2015, his son Isaac and wife Jennifer launched the farm's weddings and events program centered around the newly completed Howe Barn. The Howe Barn is a timber-framed structure built from white pine harvested and milled on-site, featuring an open-concept hammer-beam design with no interior posts. It accommodates up to 180 guests and opens to panoramic views of Lake Winnipesaukee and New Hampshire's Presidential Range. The venue hosts one event per week, ensuring each gathering has dedicated access to the property for setup, the event, and breakdown. Farm-to-table catering draws on seasonal meat and produce grown on-site through Forsyth Family Farm. A curated collection of rustic décor — The Wedding Pantry — is available for couples to borrow. The Howe family farmlands are protected by a conservation easement, preserving the working landscape that surrounds every celebration.

Timber Hill Farm is a farm-to-table wedding and event venue on Meetinghouse Hill in Gilford, New Hampshire, in the heart of the Lakes Region.

In 2015, Isaac and Jennifer Howe transformed the working farm into an event venue; the Forsyth Family Farm now manages farming operations through a conservation partnership with Land for Good. At the heart of the property is the Howe Barn, a timber-framed structure built from scratch using mature white pine harvested from the farm's own forests, then milled, fitted, and raised on site by Andy and Isaac Howe alongside master timber framer Trevor Kupetz. The open-concept barn accommodates up to 180 guests and offers sweeping views of Lake Winnipesaukee and New Hampshire's Presidential Range. Timber Hill Farm hosts one event per week, giving each gathering the full attention of the property.
