Sustainability
At Butternut Hollow Inn, sustainability is woven into everything we do. Nestled on the grounds of a farm animal sanctuary, our commitment to compassion drives our choices—from providing delicious plant-based foods that align with our respect for all beings, to partnering with local farmers and vendors for everything from animal hay to guest meals. Our operations run on nearly 100% renewable energy thanks to our green electric utility and our own solar power system with battery backup, ensuring your stay supports a cleaner, kinder future for both animals and the planet.
