Our Eco Hotel Series: Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection

Why We Love It!

is a stunning and mindful resort set on 140 quiet acres in New York’s Hudson Valley. Just 90 minutes from New York City, the resort offers a lush escape. It focuses on nature and wellness, surrounded by the area’s natural beauty.

Energy Efficient

Most importantly to us, Wildflower Auberge is one of the greenest hotels in the country. The project earned the ENERGY STAR Certification. It met the tough energy efficiency standards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They also use community solar. This lowers their carbon footprint and helps cut greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, it supports the local economy by providing clean, locally generated electricity.

The Farm

The large grounds feature orchards, animals, heirloom gardens, and a farm. Wildflower fields add beauty. This space offers an oasis for urban visitors who lack access to green areas. Opened in 2022, Wildflower Farms, part of Auberge Resorts Collection, connects guests with nature. Guests can enjoy nature-inspired design, custom guesthouses, top-quality cuisine, and unique outdoor activities.

Warm interiors

The interiors feature warm woods and hand-blown glass fixtures. They also include quilted fabrics and house prints. The colors reflect the seasons, like sage, goldenrod, burnt umber, and aubergine. The property includes sustainable design measures and materials. It features vintage pieces that have been carefully sourced.

Farm-to-fork dining

Here, it’s easy to eat well with harvest-led, farm-to-fork dining. Wildflower Farms offers three unique dining spots, an on-site cooking school, and a farm education center. It also features a diverse schedule of weekly events. This makes it a true culinary destination that celebrates the land and its ability to nourish the body inside and out. The cuisine here changes with the seasons. It focuses on produce grown onsite or sourced from local suppliers who use sustainable farming practices. Guests can enjoy culinary-themed experiences. For example, in the fall, guests can learn to grow wild leeks sustainably.
