About the FarmYour host at the B&B, Donald Previtali, purchased Lant Hill Farm in 1971 for its fields that had been farmed by generations of the Lant family with traditional crop rotation and limited use of chemicals. Don chooses to farm his land and manage his animals through the practices of sustainable agriculture. This includes a variety of organic and holistic farming techniques that support biodiversity and encourage the continued health of the local ecosystem. Don’s parents soon followed to their son’s farm to enjoy their retirement. Jamie, the fine artist, designed and built their contemporary dream house which is now used as the B&B. Helen, the landscape artist, designed the grounds to capture the beauty of flowers, trees, food, and water to please the soul wherever you look. With the B&B situated centrally atop the fields on the farm, many guests are surprised that they are really on a working farm. As the second home on the property, the B&B house is set away from the barns and original, turn-of-the-century farmhouse. Although you can see for miles and miles from the bedrooms, you cannot see another building from the B&B. The animals currently on the farm are beef cows, and their young, which were born on the farm this spring. A flock of brown and black Sexlink chickens wander the grounds and help with the fresh country breakfasts. The fields grow the feed for the farm animals. Gardens and orchards supply food for the family, friends, and guests at the B&B. |
