Food and Kitchen
The farm is documented in numbers on the property's own pages: a 5,000 square foot propagation greenhouse and a 10,000 square foot hydroponic greenhouse, thousands of apple trees, eight apiaries holding around 140 hives, and all on-site produce distributed to the property's kitchens, with synthetic fertilisers and pesticides avoided. Documented specifics; no share of total kitchen supply is published.
In their words: “All produce that is propagated and grown on-site is harvested and distributed to our kitchen teams for use in our restaurants.”

The Michelin Guide's own page for January, the signature restaurant, records the seed-to-fork method, on-property growing, a named producer in Bear Creek Farm, and the kitchen's zero-waste statement: composted trimmings and a preservation kitchen for surplus. A third party's documentation of the sourcing system.
In their words: “Nearly everything on the plate begins just steps from the kitchen, grown with care on our own farm. When an ingredient can't be cultivated here, we source it as close to home as possible through trusted local partners who share our values.”

The Jammery, the farm's preservation kitchen, is published as the property's canning, pickling, fermenting, curing and dehydration program, extending the harvest across the menus. A named program; practice-level rather than specified sourcing.
In their words: “transforming fruits, vegetables, berries, honey, and herbs harvested from the farm into products enjoyed throughout the property”
Biophilic and Healing Design
The property publishes nine hiking trails, the seven-acre Lake Mishkin, kitchen gardens and orchards as the guest landscape, with buildings oriented to daylight. A landscape genuinely woven into the stay, but stated as intent rather than a documented design method.
In their words: “Access to nine hiking trails & guided hikes”
Sound and Sensory Ecology

Disclosures
Compare what each stay offers, how it was checked and what still needs confirming. Assessment labels describe the review, not an overall quality rating.
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
A score describes proof: what a stay publishes and, on a Human Garage certified stay, what our assessor checked in person. It is not a quality rating of the property. Listings are free, and any commercial relationship is disclosed.
