Emandal

I love Emandal.
I love everything about Emandal, the place, the food, the weather, the people that I went with. I went to Emandal almost 4 years ago and this was the 2nd time I went and I LOVE IT! Emandal is actually a farm by Em and Al, hence the name Emandal. The weather was beautiful over the weekend that we were there, all we did was sat at the lawn, chit chat, read, ate, relaxed and did nothing. It was awesome!

That's the main building of Emandal. Isn't the weather beautiful?

Campsite by the river.

Breakfast was served at the deck.

Everything was fresh from the farm. Eggs, fruits, milk, homemade yogurt and wheat pancakes with homemade fruit sauce!!

Even the flowers are freshly picked daily.

Lunch - Mash potatos, fresh made buns, salad and beef stew.

Dinner - Heirloom tomato with dill sauce, beets, squash, pesto pasta and onion bread! Oh yum...the onion bread was so yummy!!

We learned to make pickles. We picked the cucumber, cleaned it, cut it, filled it up in the jars with grapes' leaf, chili, garlic and dill.

Another really cool thing was that there were wild berries all over the farm and we got to pick and ate them while we walked.

And grape vines by the deck.

On the last day of camp, they gave us complimentary freshly picked produce! Isn't that awesome?

I had a really great time at Emandal and it is something that I will always look forward to every year. Who know, maybe if you visit me at the right time next year we get to go together! :)

@Gus: It's a farm about 3-4 hours away from SF.
