Committed to Environmental Sustainability 

We keep a keen eye on the impact we have on the world around us. When we purchased the Wilder Farm Inn, we made a commitment to ourselves and our guests to build a business based on good environmental practices. Everyday we are fortunate enough to work and play in the idyllically beautiful Mad River Valley. We value is preservation for our two children and future generations.  

Environmental Initiatives

We've Gone Solar!

Wilder Farm Inn, partnering with Vermont-based SunCommon, installed a solar panel project that doubles as our covered parking area for guests! We are working with SunCommon to get a large covered parking bay for the Inn that will include three electric vehicle charging stations. We now produce as much energy as we use, and will have the largest EV charging capacity of the areas inns!! You can now plan on bringing your electric vehicle from nearly any destination and rest comfortably knowing it will be fully charged and waiting in the morning. 

 

Renewable Resources

  • Our ultra efficient, cold-climate heat pumps provide in-room heat and air conditioning, keeping you comfortable at a fraction of the energy output of more dated systems. 
  • We are investing in efficiency upgrades to our property to ensure that we rely less on oil-based resources and more on renewable resources. Efficiency Vermont has helped us tighten the thermal envelope of our buildings to ensure that little is wasted within our heating and water systems.

Other Initiatives Around The Inn

  • We compost organic waste to reduce our contribution to the local landfill.
  • Our chickens provide ultra fresh, free range, organic eggs for our breakfast dishes, and help us fertilize the property.
  • We offer clean, filtered well water from every faucet. We encourage our guests not to bring bottled water.
  • We encourage guests to participate in saving water by reusing towels and linens. 
  • We provide recycling receptacles for guests. 
  • We source many ingredients locally...from as close as our backyard!
