Set among majestic, hundred-year-old trees, the gardens and grounds at Third Time’s A Farm offer a peaceful countryside escape where nature and graceful hosting come together. For over two centuries, this land has stood as a place of gathering and quiet beauty. Today, it serves as an open-air extension of our home—a living canvas designed for relaxation, celebration, and rural pleasures.
Whether you are stepping outside during one of our immersive weekend stays to cut fresh flowers, enjoying our Sunday morning coffee and pastry bar, or gathering under the stars for an Autumn Harvest Dinner, these grounds are meant to be lived in. From bocce ball and croquet on the lawn to intimate, mild evenings spent dining al fresco, every corner of our outdoor space is thoughtfully curated to help you slow down, connect, and gather.
Our beautiful grounds are styled for effortless enjoyment, connection, and relaxation. With a variety of thoughtfully designed seating setups scattered throughout the property—from intimate tables in the herb garden to cozy couches under the trees—there is always a perfect corner waiting for you.
Enjoy unhurried afternoons with our always-ready putting green, bocce ball court, and croquet lawn—simply grab the equipment and play whenever the mood strikes.
Weather permitting, guests always have a choice. Enjoy your gourmet morning breakfast, an elegant Saturday afternoon ladies' tea, or relaxed dinners and cocktails under the stars
Gather with guests and local neighbors alike for our informal, complimentary morning coffee and pastry bar, set to the relaxing sounds of live acoustic entertainment.
Gather around our dedicated, child-safe spaces featuring youth lounges and tents and a s'mores pit, or retreat to our large, crackling adult hearth on the other side of the estate fencing.
Enrich your stay with our curated afternoon workshops, thoughtfully created for guests of all ages, from children to adults. Designed to inspire both the curious beginner and the passionate enthusiast, these relaxed, hands-on sessions allow you to explore the creative arts at your own pace. While many sessions are hosted by our own team, select workshops feature celebrated local experts and visiting artisans who bring their unique mastery straight to the property.
Our Seasonal rotation of workshops includes:
Master the elements of the perfect gathering with hands-on classes in table styling, floral design, and unique outdoor installations.
Explore your artistic side with guided classes in pottery, custom mosaic design, and traditional seasonal crafting.
Unwind with restorative outdoor sound baths, yoga, mindful wellness afternoons, or a beautifully arranged local disc golf outing.
Spark young imaginations with storybook-style estate scavenger hunts, children's gardening, and organic fairy home building.
