A different option for folks

who have been to Emandal before……

A Work Exchange during the summer season.

Can be considered a retreat or working vacation…… four hours of work/day, principally in the garden, but could be helping some in the kitchen or with the animals. 

In return, we’ll provide a private sleeping space for one or two people (partners/friends/acquaintances), breakfast each day, outdoor camping kitchen.  The rest of each day is for you to read, write, swim, paint, knit, quilt, hike, contemplate, etc.

One would come for a minimum of 4 nights…. with no maximum time.  No formal application as yet…. but an email back and forth is essential.  tamara@emandal.com

This is not a game plan for children.   Sorry, no dogs, either. 


My Approach

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

Simple ideas

Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.

Lasting impact

We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.
