Blackberry Farm

Blackberry Farm's list of accolades reads like a novel, and it's no wonder why. This pastoral wonderland has an unmistakable storybook quality.

Upon arrival, city slickers will find a sort of alternate reality, where ad-splattered benches are replaced by wicker rocking chairs, and the only drones in sight are busy making honey. There is no shortage of activities in which to partake - fly fishing, horse riding, clay shooting, and canoeing among them - but you might find quiet contemplation at the top of your list.

The property does indeed house a fully operational farm, where visitors are encouraged to participate in the daily rhythms of rural life. Much of the food you'll eat during your stay is grown, or raised, right here on site - the rest purchased from local farmers. Fresh ingredients, Blackberry's expert cooking staff, and 62 beautifully-appointed rooms and cottages (including your own golf cart and personal concierge) guarantee you'll be well-fed and well-rested.
