About Us  Pretty Meadow Farm was established in 1763. In the midst of hostile Native American territory, the land was not used for nearly ten years, until a log house was built and farm land was cultivated. The main house on the property was built in 1809.

Throughout the last 200 years, the property has remained largely unchanged. Current owners, Marti and Bill Roberts, purchased the farm in 2006. The couple are devoted preservationists who have indulged in bits of modern convenience and luxury here and there. Many aspects of the stone dwelling are original, such as deep window sills, exposed beam ceilings, low doorways, flooring and two massive, back-to-back stone fireplaces. The original log house also remains and has been restored as a special events facility. Another priority was to reestablish the farming operation. As devotees of the principles of sustainable agriculture the Roberts’ commitment to farming helps to ensure that this historic property can be productive, contribute to the local economy and demonstrate good stewardship to the land and livestock that grace the gently rolling hills at Pretty Meadow Farm.     In addition to her love for preservation, Marti is a foodie with a penchant for simple, wholesome, gourmet. Whether cooking fresh treats in the afternoon or a full local fare breakfast, Marti is at home in the kitchen and loves to spoil guests with her culinary creations. Taking pages both from the modern day Slow Food and Buy Local movements and from her lineage in Mediterranean cuisine, Marti believes fabulous food requires ingredients that are fresh and local and that cooking is a labor of love.   One of the most important aspects about Pretty Meadow Farm is our approach. We are not fussy or intrusive. We find this farm calming, centering and nurturing and want to open that experience to our guests. We will accommodate guests in every way possible, but will not poke, prod or hover. We find the grace of fine furnishings, elegant accommodations and clean, simple space is nourishing and healing.
