One of the guiding principals of restoring Rockford Farm has been to preserve as much as possible the architectural history and foundations as we restored the Farmhouse. With every room we asked “how would they have done this 250 years ago? This led us to use low-impact, traditional building methods and materials with local multi-generational craftsman.

We are proud to invite our guests to enjoy our approach to sustainability and wellness with a range of features and products that help preserve the infrastructure and are good for the environment here at the Farm. These all contribute to the luxury, organic and natural experience we offer our guests.
