As a reminder this might take us a little bit to coordinate - so book as soon as you can so we can make this happen for you!

Play board games, work on a puzzle, or gather around the fire for conversation and connection. - 7:00 PM: If you've chosen the Private DIY Raclette Dinner option for this night, enjoy a feast of melted cheese, local vegetables, house-made charcuterie, and all the fixings

- Be sure to book your preferred accommodation and any add-ons (like the Raclette Dinner or in-house massage) in advance.
- Dress warmly and in layers, as Maine winters can be unpredictable.
- Don't forget to leave your stress at home. Be present, take the slower pace this weekend has to offer, stay in bed all day if that is what you need!
- Embrace the opportunity to unplug and recharge in the peaceful mid-coast Maine environment.
Enjoy your "Eat, Rest, Play" winter weekend at Tops'l Farm!
