Your Hosts, Susanna Bahaar and Chant Thomas.

"When you stay for awhile in the beautiful Birch Creek canyon at historic Trillium Farm,
small things begin to occur and accumulate, changing us from within.
A special peace and tranquility emanates from this remote canyon where the medicine of wild Nature holds strong and pure.
The Land is alive with organic bounty for the tables, as well as a feast of flowers, both cultivated and wild, from spring through autumn. The constant song of the river varies as the rains fall or snows melt in the high country.  Birds and wildlife are abundant.
Birch Creek Arts & Ecology Center provides a perfect year-round get-away for naturalists, artists, herbalists, birders, writers, families, classes, honeymooners, group or personal retreats, or anyone seeking quietude and connection in an unforgettable natural setting."
