THE 1812 FARM

The 1812 Farm crowns the highest spot in the picturesque Maine village of Bristol Mills. The classic white New England Cape Cod farmhouse, home to the 1812 Farm and Stone Cove Catering offices, was the home of Joshua Bradford, great-grandson of Governor Bradford, the Puritan Governor of Massachusetts. The centerpiece of the 1812 Farm is the restored antique New England barn. Owners Todd and Sarah Maurer are driven by a desire to provide an elegant space where gatherings, large and small, formal or relaxed, are always warm and inviting. They welcome anyone looking to experience authentic Midcoast Maine hospitality.
