Celebrate the balance between light and dark with a nature-filled weekend retreat to the Mendocino coast. During our weekend of seasonally inspired yoga, we'll stay on a secluded fruit & flower farm nestled on the cusp of woods and sea. We'll have plenty of free time to explore the surrounding wilderness, cozy up to the fire (indoors and out), enjoy the dark night skies and huge star views, eat nourishing food, and sink into the simplicity of farm life.
BREAKFAST
Provided on both Saturday and Sunday morning, these meals will be more casual - homemade fixings will be provided. Breakfasts will likely consist of farm fresh eggs, home made bread, granola, jam, yogurt, fruit + coffee and tea.
DINNER
Organic, seasonal vegetarian dinners will be provided on Friday and Saturday evening and cooked by our lovely hosts! Please let us know if you have any allergies or diet preferences.
LUNCH
On Saturday afternoon there will be a "build your own sandwich" bar and homemade soup to allow more time for exploration. Pack your lunch and hit the road or trail, or stick around - its up to you!
THE FARMHOUSE
The farmhouse is off the grid and stands on a forty acre organic fruit and flower farm. The interior is beautiful knotty pine with log and beam rustic style construction. There is a huge living space complete with a wood fired stove (which is the main source of heat for the house). Wood milled from trees on the permaculture farm/homestead have been used in all the construction. We will share three hand made bathrooms detailed with slate and travertine. The main farmhouse, fruit orchards and gardens are ours to enjoy and will be tended by our hosts daily.
SLEEPING
2 private rooms (one queen, one king)
2 shared rooms (a double and a queen)
1 triple room (one double and a bunk bed). This room is located in the kitchen house and therefore is slightly less private than the others, hence the lower price.
PLEASE NOTE: SPACE IS EXTREMELY LIMITED AND IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. IF YOU WANT TO SHARE A BED WITH SOMEONE IN ONE OF THE PRIVATE ROOMS, PLEASE CONTACT MARINA FOR PRICING.
