Celebrating its bicentennial in 2012, Shady Lane Farm boasts 60 plus acres of woods and walking paths, making it a uniquely expansive and peaceful rural landscape perfect for your barn wedding. In addition to its abundance of preserved farmland, the historic district of New Gloucester boasts a charming village center: the town hall, library and church are all within half a mile from Shady Lane Farm. The recently revitalized Village Store, with gourmet foods, fine wines, and dining area, is a stone's throw away, as is a lovely bed and breakfast.

On the grounds, there is a pond, gardens, and a spacious lawn ready to accommodate a large tent. The Federal style house has a first floor parlor room designated as a bride's dressing room, and other rooms can be made available upon request.

Shady Lane Farm can host 200 plus, and is pet-friendly. The barn is unheated, so is appropriate for use from June through October.
