  • What is Overlook Farm?
    Formally speaking, Overlook Farm is comprised of 325 acres of land, multiple barns and stables, two historic inns, and a variety of event spaces to host most types of special occasions. But when you look beyond that, we are so much more. Overlook Farm strongly believes in returning to the earth and supporting sustainable practices, from the harvesting of vegetables to the raising of livestock. On our 325 acres rest many jewels: berry and vegetable gardens, and orchards, just to name a few. All of these assets help to support the kitchen at Overlook Farm, providing our guests with farm-fresh meals and cocktails. Though Overlook Farm is a many-faceted entity, all of its parts work together towards common goals: beauty, relaxation, and elegant country-living.

    Oh my goodness! We all know that when something is important to you and to your life, you will always find a way. To say the least, Overlook Farm and Clarksville are both very important to Nathalie. No matter where she is, her passion for Overlook Farm and what it stands for is clear to be seen. In between being a loving mother and one active in politics, she spends many hours harvesting berries for the Farm's fresh summer cocktails, picking cherries for cobbler, working in the office to keep everything running smoothly, and greeting guests with her always bright smile and distinctive laugh. Truly, as her son Ethan would say, she is a mother to us all.

  • Can we tour the farm itself?
    Any kind of farm tour will need to be organized in advance, and even then there is never a guarantee one will be possible. As a working farm, many areas of the property are in use for both animals and crops; for our safety and yours, we tend to limit interacton with this aspect to prevent any injuries or accidents.
