Garden-first design
Eighteen acres of walking trails, raised-bed gardens that residents tend year-round, and three pollinator meadows kept by the community’s own beekeeping club.
About Meadowdrift
Family-owned and operated since 2008. Twelve buildings tucked into the hillside, no building taller than three stories, and a main lodge at the heart of the campus where most of the day’s life happens.
Farm-to-table kitchen
Seventy percent of our produce comes from within fifty miles. Our chef has run the kitchen for twelve years and writes the menu around what’s in season.
Family-scale
Just 96 residences in total. We’re intentionally small — staff know residents by name, and so do their neighbors.

Stories from families
What residents and their loved ones say about life at Meadowdrift.

“The chef walked the kitchen with us during the tour and asked about Dad’s favorite meals. Two months in he’d cooked all of them. That’s the difference here.”Jonas P., son of resident
