Our Eco Hotel Series: Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection

Why We Love It!

Wildflower Farms is a beautiful and incredibly conscious resort nestled on 140 secluded acres in New York’s Hudson Valley. Located just 90 minutes from New York City and set amongst the storied region’s natural beauty, the resort will be a verdant escape focused on nature and wellness in all senses.

Most importantly to us, Wildflower Auberge is one of the greenest hotels in the country. The project was awarded the Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR Certification for meeting strict US Environmental Protection Agency criteria for energy efficiency. They also subscribe to community solar, lowering its carbon footprint, helping to prevent and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting the local economy with clean, locally generated electricity.

The expansive grounds include orchards, animals, heirloom gardens, a namesake farm and fields of wildflowers throughout, offering an oasis within reach for urban visitors with limited access to green space. Upon opening in autumn 2022, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection will provide a meaningful encounter with nature at every step through nature-framing design, bespoke guesthouses, world-class, source-origin cuisine and unique outdoor experiences.

The interiors highlight warm woods and hand-blown glass fixtures along with quilted fabrics and fabric house prints in colors reflecting the seasons, such as sage and goldenrod and burnt umber and aubergine. Sustainable design measures and materials, including the sourcing of vintage pieces, have been incorporated throughout the property.

Here, it’s easy to eat well with harvest-led, farm-to-fork dining. With three unique dining destinations, an on-site cooking school and farm education center, and a diverse calendar of weekly events, Wildflower Farms is a true culinary destination, celebrating the land and its ability to nourish the body, inside and out. Driven by the seasons, the cuisine here revolves around produce that has either been grown onsite or sourced from local suppliers, all of whom use sustainable agricultural practices. There are also culinary-themed experiences – in the autumn, for example, guests can learn how to cultivate wild leeks in an environmentally conscious way.
