Interior Spaces

Architectural and interior design are paramount to the Clearing Farm experience. The structures that make up our environment encompass a range of design styles from farmhouse to cabin but all are unified in their durable craftsmanship and premium aesthetic.

Food & Drink

At Clearing Farm, we have a variety of cuisine options for economy, luxury and ultra-lux budgets. For us dinning is an experience and we prepare epicurean feasts that are as memorable in the presentation as they are in taste.

Our approach is always to use locally grown ingredients, often from our own farm and incorporate seasonality into our food and drink design. For all retreats, we’ll work with you to create a custom food schedule based on your budget.
