Flower Hill Farm
Bed and Breakfast and Retreat

This Western Massachusetts Eco-Friendly Vegetarian/Vegan B&B and Retreat is a 1790 restored farmhouse with an attached artist/writer studio and barn (flower arranging studio). The buildings are surrounded by rambling organic gardens, marvelous sky and landscapes, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing on a twenty-acre hillside (ten acres are in wildlife conservation) in the foothills of the Berkshires just six miles west of Northampton, Massachusetts.

Flower Hill Farm Bed and Breakfast is unique in its beauty, simplicity, privacy, spacious suites, and earth-friendly philosophy and practices. The suites are excellent for weekend getaways or for longer extended stays.

There are three private, spacious, charming and imaginative guest suites. Accommodations provide all the amenities to make your stay relaxing and comfortable whether you are staying two nights or more than a week. Comfortable large beds, fireplaces, private baths, sitting areas, kitchens and garden views all let you enjoy the Berkshires at a leisurely pace.

For those wanting to retreat from the world, needing to work in the area, or relocating, Flower Hill Farm offers special rates for the entire upstairs or downstairs for extended stays. Enjoy the quiet with places to read, write, paint, or just relax and enjoy nature.

Flower Hill Farm's Continental certified organic vegetarian/vegan breakfast includes fresh baked muffins, which (in season) may be jazzed up with the B&B's own blueberries, currants, or raspberries; fresh fruit salad; juice; fresh ground organic "fair trade" coffee; and tea. Breakfast is ready around 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. in the dining room, which has a fireplace and double French doors leading out to the gardens. Let your hosts know if you want a private breakfast.

Northampton, home to Smith College and the Paradise City Arts Festival, is only 15 minutes away, while Lenox/ Tanglewood, Stockbridge, MOCA, Becket, with Jacobs Pillow and Williamstown/Clarke Museum, are an easy 45 minutes to one-hour drive.

The surrounding hilltowns are filled with great bookstores, excellent restaurants and both famous and unknown writers and artists who have seasonal open studios and sales. Writers' workshops such as Patchwork Farm, yoga, dance and other creative ventures abound in the valley and hilltowns. Snow Farm and the New England Craft Program are five minutes from Flower Hill Farm.
