Rates and Policies
Our rates and policies reflect our lifestyle here at Flower Hill Farm Retreat. Our policies are based on a commitment to care for the home and planet in a sustainable and thoughtful way. Our rates are already discounted for Long Term guests and considering writers and artists and guests coming for workshops at most artist and writing studios in the area. We are happy to accommodate shorter stays than our week minimum for guests coming to workshops @ Snow Farm, Zea Mays Printmaking and Project Art.
