In 2014, on their beloved tree farm, Bill Badgley built a post and beam barn (styled after 18th century Dutch architecture) for his wife, Christa. Since her passing, he has opened the property for events of all kinds, from weddings, bachelorette, and graduation parties, to community gatherings, concerts, and fundraisers.

Beyond the beauty of their natural surroundings, what couples here love is the versatility of this secluded spot - where their dreams become a reality.

Rustic and Refined

Beloved Farm’s main barn, graced with a balcony and three gorgeous vintage chandeliers, has been constructed with hand-hewn beams from wood harvested on-site; a testament to Bill’s dedication and the builder’s careful craftsmanship. A former wedding photographer, who still lives on, and cares for, the property, Bill has an eye for picture-perfect vistas, so there is an abundance of them on this beautiful property.

In such an artful landscape, there are a seemingly unlimited number of outdoor ceremony spaces, and Bill’s hand-built pergola can be moved almost anywhere on-site for a backdrop.

Winding through serene meadows, the expansive field stone walls (a defining feature of New England’s agricultural heritage) imbue guests with a visceral connection to the past. While the property’s four ponds, secret garden, gazebo, and half-acre orchard (with 300 bushes producing delicious, ripe, pick-your-own blueberries each summer) add to its charm.

There For You

Whether they are wandering along the crushed stone paths or gathered for cocktails in the courtyard, guests will delight in the tranquility of this remote, but accessible and WIFI-equipped, locale, just 12 minutes from Bennington, VT and 40 minutes east of Saratoga.

The three-season Beloved Farm event barn accommodates 120 people in an open space blessed with a nice cross-breeze when the windows are open. When heaters are brought in during the cooler weather, it’s warm enough for even brisk spring and fall evenings. There are separate entrances for caterers and the Beloved Farm’s Venue Representative, MaryBeth Hynick, can provide a list of preferred local vendors for you to work with. She also offers both rehearsal dinner and day-of coordination services. For 2025 bookings, their pricing structure includes tables and chairs. With a party per-hour rate, having even smaller get-togethers here is affordable, allowing your creativity to really come to life.

“We are there for couples from start to finish,” said MaryBeth.

Just Around the Bend

Always open to new ideas, whether its dancing under the stars, a pig roast, tent camping on-site, a horse and carriage, or food trucks, this space can adapt to rustic, casual, intimate events, or more formal soirees.

A bridal suite and three handicap accessible restrooms are located in another post and beam structure nearby, and in a small tower by the main barn’s entrance, a quaint church bell is rung to celebrate a couple’s nuptials.

During the fall, as the summer’s greens turn to autumn’s golds and reds, Beloved Farm invites you to take it all in amid a landscape dotted with covered bridges, where sweet shops offering unique antiques, artisan baked goods, and crafts, await nearby.

My great grandfather, a hotelier, started it all when he purchased the 111 South Broadway property. Shortly after, he invited my grandmother, grandfather and their first child to live in the north building. As the story goes, a dozen or so people had driven up the hill and knocked on the front door asking if they had any vacant rooms. My grandparents took it as a sign and started renovating the once hospital into a hotel. They began hosting guests in overnight rooms in 1944.

They celebrated family events at the property over the years and heard from friends how idyllic the location was for these festivities. But it wasn’t until my parents took over the business in the ‘90s that the event arm of the Inn was officially created.

They renovated what was once my grandparent’s living room, bedroom, and sewing room into the dining room space that is used for our indoor events today. They made design decisions that have withstood the test of time, opting for many bright windows and beautiful hardwood floors.

Wedding couples and event clients loved the new space, but some noted how they wished they could host more guests than the space’s 100-person capacity allowed.

A few years later, my parents moved our iconic gazebo from the south end of the hill to a more central location, creating an optimal space for larger tented events.

I grew up watching - and working - special events at the Inn. I celebrated many of my own there too, including birthdays, my high school graduation party, holidays with family, and more! So it was incredibly special for my entire family when my husband and I chose to celebrate our wedding reception at the Inn.

During our wedding planning process, I came across a list of the traditional symbols that mark each anniversary. You may have heard of the 25th year being your silver anniversary, 40th being ruby, and so forth. When we started talking about our 80th year festivities for the Inn, I revisited that list and scrolled pretty far down to find which symbol represents the start of the eighth decade. Eighty is the oak anniversary, symbolizing strength and wisdom, like that of a mighty oak tree.

In our 80th year, we are reflecting on the strength we’ve had as a family, passing the Inn’s keys generation to generation, working together, weathering small business storms, all while celebrating our successes, learning from mistakes and continuing to grow.

But most importantly, we have so much appreciation for the support from our guests and clients and for all they have taught us over the years. Our strength and wisdom is really… Thanks to You! 

We are grateful to be the location of so many special Saratoga memories throughout our 80 years and beyond.
