This month we have another exciting retreat coming up at Sky Meadow! Our very own caretaker Brendan will be co-leading the third Metamodern Spirituality Retreat. But first things first — what is metamodernism, you ask? It’s too complex an idea to be neatly summed up in a paragraph, but I’ll do my best! Metamodernism is a …
April is always a busy month in the garden. While there’s not much growing just yet, there’s plenty to clean up from over the winter! The snow melted late this year, thanks largely in part to our mid-March nor’easter. Luckily, we enjoyed a mid-month stretch of warm weather, so we could get a jump on clearing …
Springtime here in northeast Vermont is perhaps the most unpredictable season. Like the proverbial box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get! One day it could be sunny and 70 degrees, and a few days later a nor’easter comes and dumps 2 feet of snow. The snow melt, and drenched muddy ground that …
Herbalist David Hoffman once famously said, “when in doubt, use nettle.” Although that comment was tongue-in-cheek, there’s a lot of truth to it! Full of minerals, stinging nettle (urtica dioica) is one of the most nutritient-dense foods you can eat. They grow widely around the world and are often one of the first greens to emerge …

Each season at Sky Meadow has its own beauty to enjoy. A day of retreat in the late summer or early fall (my personal favorite time of year here) might go a little something like this: Morning You wake up, stretch, and take a deep breath of clean mountain air. Taking your time to put on …
It’s maple sugar time! Our neighbor Armour has been crafting small-batch, wood-fired syrup tapped from the maples right here on Stannard Mountain for decades, using the same traditional methods he learned from his grandfather. Maple season in Vermont is a special time that only comes once a year. After the long winter, we’re all ready to …
What a strange winter it has been! We had almost no snow throughout January. Now, in mid-March, we’ve had many feet of snow — and last week, a full-blown nor’easter. It almost feels as if the two months switched places! Regardless, even as we celebrate today’s Spring Equinox within winter’s cocoon, we know that it’s only …
Each season of the year at Sky Meadow has its own distinct feeling and beauty, and I’ve come to love those rhythms. People often ask us when to visit Vermont, and it honestly depends a lot on what you’re hoping to get out of your visit. Of course, every year is different (and as much as …
