WHAT TO EXPECT AT NORTH STAR FARM
🌿 Welcome to North Star Farm
North Star Farm is a 75-acre working organic blueberry farm in the western Catskills of New York.
This is not a hotel hidden in the countryside. It is a real farm.
Blueberries grow here. Sheep graze here. Guests wake up to birdsong, fresh air, and wide-open skies.
If you're looking for a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the rhythms of farm life without giving up modern comforts, you've found it.
✨ Come as you are.
🌱 Leave a little more grounded than when you arrived.
🏕️ YOUR DOME
Each geodesic dome has been thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable and memorable stay.
Every dome includes:
🛏️ Two queen beds with premium linens
🚿 Private full bathroom with shower
☕ Kitchenette stocked with everything you nee to prepare meals
❄️ Heat and air conditioning
🌲 Private deck with seating and a Blackstone griddle overlooking the farm
🔥 Private wood-fired hot tub
🌄 Expansive countryside views
The domes are spaced apart to provide privacy while still allowing you to feel connected to the landscape around you.

North Star Farm is home to:
🫐 15 acres of organic blueberries
🌰 Young chestnut groves
🐑 Grazing sheep
🌲 Forest walking trails
🐸 A fishing pond
🦌 Abundant wildlife

Because this is a working farm, you may see tractors, farmers, irrigation equipment, or livestock during your stay.
Many guests tell us that being part of a real working farm is one of their favorite parts of the experience.
🫐 BLUEBERRY SEASON
From early July through early August, the farm comes alive with blueberry harvest.
🏡 Dome guests receive complimentary blueberry picking during their stay during blueberry season.
Wander the fields, fill a bucket, and enjoy berries straight from the bush.
There is something magical about eating breakfast from a blueberry field just steps from your dome.
🌸 Flower season brings colorful blooms and pollinator-filled fields throughout the summer.

Every dome includes its own private wood-fired hot tub.
Guests also have access to our shared barrel sauna.
Many visitors make a ritual of ending the day with:

🌙 A quiet walk back to their dome under some of the darkest skies in the Catskills
Throughout the season, we also host:
🧘 Yoga classes
🌬️ Breathwork sessions
🌿 Wellness workshops
📚 Educational farm events
🐑 THE SHEEP
The sheep are among the most popular residents of North Star Farm.
Their official responsibilities include:
🌱 Mowing
🌱 Weeding
🌱 Fertilizing
🌱 General farm maintenance
The sheep, however, believe their primary responsibility is supervising guests.
You will often find them grazing peacefully throughout the property.
Please admire them from a respectful distance and avoid feeding them. Private sessions to feed and meet the sheep can be arranged.
🌅 EVENINGS AT THE FARM
Sunsets are one of the highlights of a stay at North Star Farm.
Guests often spend their evenings:

🔥 Gathering around the fire pit
⭐ Stargazing
🚶 Walking the trails
🌲 Listening to the sounds of the farm settle in for the night
Many guests arrive with a long list of things they plan to do and leave wishing they had spent more time doing nothing at all.
