Egyptian Cotton, Out. Burlap, So In.

It’s that time of year again when we fantasize about giving it all up and moving to a farm in Upstate New York. And it turns out, we’re not the only ones.

Travelers are increasingly swapping hotels for serene farm stays with agritourism on the rise in a big way and showing no signs of slowing down. Here are five of our favorite hotels where you can get your hands dirty. Now we just need to remember where we stashed our gardening shoes.

The Crossroads Inn at Pippin Hill  

The Crossroads Inn is a renovated tavern house in the Blue Ridge mountains that we really love. Only 10 minutes from downtown Charlottesville in nearby North Garden, VA, the Inn is set on Pippin Hill’s Vineyard where guests have breakfast each day with eggs, honey, fruits and vegetables sourced from the on-site bee apiary, vegetable garden and chicken coop. You can also book cooking classes and creative workshops that utilize flowers and produce from the property. Rates start at $199, book here.

Southall Farm & Inn

Nestled on 325 acres in Franklin, TN, Southall evokes the feeling of an old farmstead and offers farm tours (free with stay,) orchard tours, beekeeping activities, seed saving workshops and more. It’s also pet friendly, has a spa and is less than an hour from Nashville. Rates start at $499, book here.

Dawn Ranch

On the Russian River in Guernville, CA, Dawn Ranch has a whole host of luxe accommodations from cabins to chalets to tents. Home to one of California’s unique microclimates at the foothills of the redwood forest, Guernville and Dawn Ranch provide a little something different when it comes to the agri-vibe.  Guests can sign-up for birdwatching, redwood tours, make their own perfume or learn how to hand sew their own mini journals. Rates start at $159, book here.

Inn the Ground

The Ground, based in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, was founded with the mission to provide loving hospitality to all species, which is the foundation of every guest experience. Inn the Ground is their new, Oregon wine country bed & breakfast, where guests can either check into the Inn, set atop a working, regenerative farm, or The Farmhouse, a homestead set atop the hillside facing The Inn. Check out the market farm, learn about permaculture on a guided tour, hike on wooded trails and watch cattle graze, all while sipping a perfect glass of pinot from a local vineyard. Rates start at $298, book here.‍

Quercus

Opening later this year, Quercus is an all-inclusive property in Gay, Georgia that highlights working ranch culture. Activity options include garden tours, foraging, equestrian experiences and cooking classes using ingredients from the on-site farm and garden. Get updates on the property here.
