Company Description

Sprung from the site of a fallow tree nursery, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection is a 140-acre retreat in New York’s Hudson Valley, just 90 minutes from New York City. Rooted in meaningful encounters with nature, the property sways with the seasons, surrounded by meadows of native flowers and woodlands. Anchored by its namesake farm with orchards, heirloom gardens, and animals, the retreat offers immersive seasonal experiences like foraging walks, cooking workshops, and healing sessions. A three-mile walking trail links 65 stand-alone cabins, cottages, and suites with the Movement Studio and Maplehouse, a lofty barn home to a dynamic cooking school. Accommodations are immersed in the ever-changing landscape, offering a deep sense of place. Guests are welcomed at The Shop, reminiscent of a well-curated potting shed, and the open-air Great Porch. Dining at Clay, the centerpiece restaurant, features source-origin cuisine that honors the region’s bounty. Thistle offers wild-crafted wellbeing that evolves with the seasons. The property also provides access to neighboring Mohonk Preserve, where wooded trails and cliffs invite world-class hiking, biking, and climbing. Named the Number 1 Hotel in New York State by Travel + Leisure for the 2025 World’s Best Awards and recognized with a One Key distinction from the inaugural Michelin Guide, Wildflower Farms is a basecamp for adventure, craft, and curiosity.
