We're adding a Food Forest!
Our retreat will feature food gardens that we will encourage guests to forage in. We’re designing a food forest too. The design will incorporate edible and medicinal herbs, flowers, berries, vegetables, fruit trees and nut producing trees such as walnuts and pine nuts.
In the meantime, please visit this site often to follow our progress and be sure to check us out on social media to find out when we'll finally be open to accommodate your visit.
We'd love to hear from you too!
