Please contact us for directions to our farm as Google Maps is incorrect. Also, we ask that you have registered for an event, tour or stay before coming. This is not a public drop-in place. Thank you!
We offer an exquisite backdrop for day retreats, conferences, business meetings, seminars and workshops. Our venue has access to a kitchen, dining room and studio, and an overnight rental as well. There are forests and multiple gardens on the farm to admire and inspire.
We offer both ongoing and one-time events and learning opportunities and would also like to host those events you’d like to offer, that are closely linked with the natural world! See our line-up of workshops, personalized tours, bodywork and more!
