Happy Mother’s Day! We wish you all a wonderful day. Thank you to all the mothers we have and the mothers we claim as our own. We appreciate you!

Meet Martina, the mother of this resort. She is an amazing mother, whose love goes beyond her three children. You can find her doing treatments at the spa, collecting eggs from the chickens, tending to the bees, gardening and walking her dog Toby! She is a bright light on a cloudy day and courage when you’re having doubts.

Being a mother, both new and experienced, is hard work. It comes from the heart and it’s every second of every day. So, to all the mothers - today is your day. You deserve it every day!

We're so proud to be featured in a story that's close to our hearts.

For five generations, our family has believed that the best meals begin long before they reach your plate; in the soil, the seasons, and the relationships we've built with the farmers and producers right here in Peterborough County.

This feature celebrates something we live every day: farm-to-table dining that's rooted in real land, real people, and a genuine love for this region.

We're grateful to be part of such a vibrant local food community, and grateful to everyone who has shared a meal with us along the way.
