Natural setting, sustainability practices make this retreat center the ultimate in living green
It’s not always easy being green, but that hasn’t stopped the sustainability and Earth-friendly efforts at Wild Trails Farm, a natural sanctuary for personal and group retreats and recreation in Vermont. The farm property, part of 472 acres of meadows, hills and forests, includes a modern, luxurious six-bedroom lodge that is solar- and geothermal-powered. Rooms look out over the valley, meadows and distant mountains. Its sprawling lawns--dotted with chairs, benches and hammocks--is maintained with electric equipment. Go hiking, biking or skiing with the aid of Wild Trails' exclusive mobile GPS app; practice yoga, mindfulness and meditation; relax with a massage; and eat fruit from the orchard and veggies from the garden, knowing you are staying at a place that honors the concept of being green.
