Six Farm Barns & Cottages
A farm at your fingertips
Imagine a farm destination brimming with life and natural beauty. A place where you can participate in the egg, strawberry or tomato harvests as much or as little as you'd like. Where you can leave your car and be given keys to a golf cart and bicycles. Where you can sip coffee in your private garden, and swim in a pool set in an orchard. Where you can wind down the evening around a campfire, enjoying the night sounds echoing off the trees.
So was the vision of Curtis Bashaw and his partner Will Riccio, who acquired the land that is now Beach Plum Farm in 2007. As the years have passed, Beach Plum Farm has become much more than land that grows food—it has become a destination visitors who wish to participate in the rhythms of farm life.

Early Spring Gardening
Available for Three-Night Midweek Stays from March 11 through April 18, 2024
Join Beach Plum Farm Agricultural Director Christina Albert for a hands-on Rooted getaway focused on planning and planting an early Spring garden.
View Sample ItineraryThe farm-to-table movement has grown exponentially in the last five years, but truthfully it is getting to the core of a very ancient practice. It hearkens back to a lifestyle that was both healthy and sustainable: consuming that which is available to us in this environment at this time, in this season. Modern technology has allowed us to use preservatives, expand the lifespan of fruits, vegetables and meats, to a point where this food no longer adds nourishment in the purest sense.
Since its inception in 2016, our Kitchen Garden has thrived as a tangible link between Beach Plum Farm and Cape May's vibrant culinary community. "From the beginning, the philosophy behind the raised beds was to create a place for our Chefs to experiment with different vegetables, fruits, and herbs," says Farm Agricultural Director Christina Albert.
And now, working through different seasons, seeds and soils, we invite you to join Christina in a hands-on gardening workshop.
Included in your Rooted: Early Spring Gardening getaway:
- Deluxe Overnight Cottage Accommodations
- A Welcome Dinner Reception in the Hoop House on the Monday night of your arrival, where you'll join our Rooted hosts
- A Guided Farm Tour on Tuesday morning, led by Christina Albert, Beach Plum Farm's Director of Agriculture
- Guided Gardening Seminars on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, led by expert instructors

through Thursday, April 25, 2024
Join us at Beach Plum Farm for an immersive three day Rooted retreat focusing on the practice of beekeeping.

The process of pollination is essential for the reproduction of flowering plants, including many of the fruits and vegetables grown in the fields at Beach Plum Farm. For over a decade, a beekeeping program has been a core focus of our efforts at Beach Plum, and now we invite you to learn the ins-and-outs of beekeeping with three days of interactive seminars.
