Kaluna Farm Retreat

10/15/2026

A beautiful meal. A warm welcome. Time to settle in and enjoy the people around you.

These simple things are at the heart of how we host at Kaluna.

Over the years, we’ve watched shared tables turn strangers into friends, conversations linger long after a meal, and people find a little more room to breathe here on the farm. Those moments shape the care we put into every gathering, from the food we prepare to the spaces we share.

Whether you’re planning a retreat, gathering your family, or bringing people together to learn something new, we’d love to welcome you to Kaluna.

Have a gathering in mind? Send us a message and tell us what you’re imagining. 🌿

A few favorite moments from our Fall Bird Migration Retreat at Kaluna. 🐦🍂

Watching and listening, discoveries along the trails, farm-to-table meals, and fireside s’mores—a beautiful weekend shared with a wonderful group.

Thank you to CareyJo Titus for guiding our birding adventures, and to everyone who joined us and shared their curiosity and love of birds.

A little look back at our Wilderness Wise adventures at Kaluna this year. 🌿

These gatherings have brought families into the woods to explore, practice wilderness skills, make discoveries and enjoy time together. We’ve loved seeing curiosity grow and friendships take shape along the way.

October 9 is our final Wilderness Wise session of the year! We’ll focus on fire-building skills and techniques for cooking over a fire, followed by a seasonal feast.

Come learn, explore and share a meal with us. Message us for details on joining!

A little behind-the-scenes eggsamination! 🥚🔦

From collecting to cleaning, candling and packing, there’s plenty of care that goes into each carton of our farm-fresh eggs. Come along for a closer look at how we handle and inspect them before they head to your kitchen.

A little cooler weather has brought back that urge to linger in the kitchen, so here’s a peek at a recent family steak dinner. Ben made a black garlic butter for the steaks, and judging by the reactions around the table, this one will be hard to top!

If it inspires your own weekend cooking, we’ll have black garlic and other seasonal goodies at the Kaluna Farm Store tomorrow, Saturday, from 10 am–5 pm. Come see us!

Quality has always been a hallmark of what we grow and make at Kaluna.

From the way we care for the soil to the timing of each harvest, we make decisions with the people who will eat this food in mind. Our produce is harvested, washed and packed with intention, because we believe in feeding our community of supporters with the same care and quality we expect for our own family.

That relationship between grower and eater is at the heart of everything we do here.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the solar power system we installed earlier this summer at the Kaluna Hearth!

The system includes 21 solar panels and battery storage to help power our commercial Farm Kitchen. On a good day, it can generate much of the energy we need while storing enough power to keep us operating for two to three days during an outage. We are also able to use it to charge our electric vehicles.

This is a big step toward greater energy independence and resilience at Kaluna, and one more way we are working to bring our daily operations into closer alignment with our commitment to thoughtful land stewardship.

Take a look as Ben breaks down how the system works. ☀️

Another warm day, another basil harvest. 🌿

September is giving us one more good stretch of summer weather, and the basil is making the most of it.

So while cooler days are finally on the horizon, we’re still bringing in armloads of fragrant Italian basil from the field while we can.

Some will make its way to the Farm Store fresh, and plenty more will become batches of our fresh basil pesto.

For now, we’ll happily take a few more rounds of summer abundance before the season begins to shift. 💚

Fall migration is already unfolding around us. 🐦🍂

Here at Kaluna, the fields, forest edges, creeks and gardens create a place for birds to pause, feed and rest as they make their way south. And for one weekend this September, we’re slowing down to pay attention to who is passing through.

Join local naturalist and birder, Carey Jo Titus, for Wings Over Kaluna: A Fall Migration Retreat, September 25–27.

Over the weekend, we’ll head out for sunrise bird walks, practice birding by ear, listen for owls after dark and spend plenty of time simply observing what shows up. Between outings, we’ll gather around the table for farm-to-table meals, settle in around the fire and enjoy a fall weekend on the farm.

Whether you’re an experienced birder or simply someone who loves being outside and wants to learn more about the birds around you, you’re welcome.
