Meals include a sumptuous Friday night dinner buffet, Saturday and Sunday continental breakfast at the kiosk, Saturday lunch at the beautiful

Can I really crop all night if I want to?
Yes, our crop rooms are available 24 hours a day. We do ask that the last cropper contact the front desk to lock up the room (if Cropping Circle staff is not available).
And should you want the crop rooms open in the early morning before the staff is there, just dial O from the house phone and the hotel will open the crop room for you.

What time are we required to clean up/leave on Sunday?
Our crops draw to a close at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. We ask that croppers begin to clean up their workspace at 2:00 p.m. to ensure that the rooms are completely cleared out by 3:00 p.m.

How much cropping space will I have?
One of the best parts of Cropping Circle Crops is the cropping tables and chairs! Each cropper gets 4’ of table space, one extra foot more than any other Crop.
Our chairs are soft, cushioned, plush, swivel armchairs that you will find luxurious and delightful! Croppers, you can leave those seat cushions at home!
