Maybe its Time for a Field Trip
Think back to the wonder of getting out of school for a field trip—was there anything more freeing, more exciting? It felt like a pass to skip ordinary life for a day. Travel led to discovery, and discovery led to joy.Of course, there was plenty of goofing off and giggling along the way, too.
The thrill of a field trip may seem far, far-removed from the routine of grown-up life, but a field trip is exactly what you need to be revived and refreshed. Join us this Summer for two months filled with different experiences that will inspire you to get outside, relax your mind and exhilarate your body. And there will be no squished sammies on our field trips—our boxed lunches are as delicious and thoughtful as everything else we serve.
July is Adventure Month
When July rolls around each year, the gardens are planted, the harvest is yet to come—and we start itching for a big adventure while we wait. Our solution? To pack the month of July with daily explorations and heart-pumping activities. Each day during Adventure Month, starting at nine a.m., we offer complimentary adventures and clinics: standup paddle-boarding lessons, property hikes, cycling workshops, cycling rides, introductory climbing classes and more! Make your reservations soon to claim one of our limited Adventure Month spots.
Want an adrenaline-boosting adventure for the whole family? Plan to bring your crew to Blackberry for our exhilarating and fun Paintball Challenge, this July 11–13.
August is Garden Month
The entire property pauses to celebrate Garden Month and all the hard work that has gone into growing some of the finest herbs and produce we’ve ever tasted. From garden dinners to seed lectures—all complimentary—this month is dedicated to the glory of the Summer’s harvest. If savoring the peak of the harvest at each meal sounds like your idea of a perfect getaway, be sure to plan your
stay for August!
We are kicking off Garden Month with Smoky Mountain Table: A Hands-on Workshop, August 3-6. This annual event will introduce you to the artisans of the farm and teach you the behind-the-scenes secrets of farm life, from the garden to the table and all points in between (even the larder and the wine cellar!).
