FOOD

+Rustic + Vegetarian + Vegan + Gluten Free + Homemade + Organic + Raw

The Kitchen is organic, vegetarian and mainly gluten free. We spend a lot of time menu planning for each retreat. Our cuisine is rustic yet gourmet and is served family style. Our meals are prepared fresh each day with great attention to flavor and quality.

Each morning we serve strong organic coffee, organic eggs with bread and jelly, sliced tomatoes, yogurt and our famous homemade granola. We send our guests home stimulated and inspired to cook great meals at home for themselves, their family and friends.

Every afternoon Eva blends a fresh tea with organic herbs to create a fresh and vibrant herbal beverage.

The cuisine has been a yogi's epicurean delight for almost two decades now and we promise meal times at retreat will be nourishing and memorable.

Please note we are not able to accommodate severe food allergies.

All meals are included during yoga and wellness retreats.

I attended a yoga and pilates retreat and can attest that is a truly special place. Prior to the retreat, communication with Scott (one of the owners) was informative and super responsive. Upon arriving, I was greeted warmly by the property's caretakers, Rich and Hope. The property has absolutely everything you could ask for - beautiful grounds, lovely hiking trails, a pool with incredible views, a hot tub, and lovely, well-kept rooms. The yoga studio itself is spacious and has a beautiful view of the grounds.

I also cannot say enough good things about Nicole, our yoga and pilates instructor during the retreat. She is thoughtful, warm, intuitive, and super friendly. She made all of the yoga, pilates, and even Bollywood dancing (!) really approachable and open to all levels. She also led the group in fun activities like hiking and making our own essential oil blends. Nicole is awesome and we were so lucky to have her expertise and guidance throughout the retreat.

They also offer acupuncture, massage, and bodywork for an additional fee. I had a session with Hope that left me feeling so relaxed and centered. Such a gift!

Also, the food! The food is amazing. It is prepared with so much care and intention. It was all delicious, plentiful, and nourishing. It's all vegetarian and (I think) mostly vegan. They also seamlessly catered to a few dietary restrictions that existed within the group.

Lastly, the community that was built in just a few short days was really incredible. I think that's a testament to the environment they provide as well as the amazing people who work there. After this retreat, I felt so much more centered, connected, and peaceful.

Thank you, for an incredible experience!
