Autumn is approaching, and West Cape May, New Jersey, offers a seasonal escape at the 62-acre Beach Plum Farm. This culinary retreat, called “rooted,” is designed for friends, couples, and food lovers seeking a relaxed, farm-centered getaway.

The rooted retreat runs on select dates in October and November and spans four days. Guests collaborate with the farm’s chefs and farmers to harvest ingredients for seasonal, farm-to-table dinners. Produce, herbs and farm-raised meats used in the meals are sourced directly from around the property, creating a genuinely farm-forward dining experience.
In addition to the central culinary program, guests can customize their stay with á la carte activities. Options include cocktail-making workshops, morning yoga sessions, tending to farm animals, guided hikes and candle-making, alongside other low-key pursuits designed for relaxation and connection with the land.
Accommodations for the rooted retreat start at $3,596 for a cottage that accommodates up to four people. For full details, availability and booking, visit the Beach Plum Farm site.
