What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The décor is a lively marriage of classic farmhouse utilitarianism and colorful modernist style.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set a mile inland in West Cape May, the farm is minutes from Washington Street Mall and Atlantic Ocean beaches.
The rooms
Standalone cottages feature chef kitchens stocked with farm-fresh breakfast, screened porches, Belgian linens, and custom rosemary-mint bath products.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated saltwater pool sits in an apple orchard, bordered by manicured lawn, dark green loungers, and parasols.
Restaurant
Beach Plum Farm Kitchen
Seasonal dishes highlight estate-harvested produce and pasture-raised meats, served inside the timber barn or beneath the greenhouse canopy.
At the table
Communal multi-course harvest dinners take place outdoors across the garden lawns and inside the greenhouse under hanging lanterns.
How it began
Founded in 2007 to supply Cape May restaurants, the working estate later added restored heritage barns and an eighteenth-century whaler cottage.
