Guests have the option to turn their visit into a full overnight experience. Stay in one of our two cozy A-frames, reserve an elevated tent platform, or pitch your tent in the open meadow under the stars. Each option offers a unique way to experience the farm, with limited availability.
Come for the yoga… stay for the magic. 🐮✨
Macarons & Moos
Join Izzie for a hands-on French macaron making class where elegance meets a little farm-side charm. A longtime student of the French language (though she’ll admit she may have learned more about macarons than verbs—who can blame her), Izzie has been perfecting these delicate treats for over five years. Taught by her stepmother Kim, her macarons have become a signature crowd-pleaser at gatherings, celebrations, and cozy moments alike.
In this class, you’ll learn the art and science behind the perfect macaron—from crafting those signature smooth shells to achieving the ideal texture and rise. Together, we’ll create classic macaron cookies paired with a rich, silky buttercream filling, with plenty of tips, tricks, and troubleshooting along the way.
One of the best parts of macarons? Their versatility. Once you learn the base, the flavor possibilities are endless—and Izzie will show you just how easy it is to get creative.
Each guest will:
• Participate in a guided, hands-on macaron-making experience
• Learn techniques for consistent, bakery-quality results
• Take home a box of their own handcrafted macarons
• Receive a printed recipe card to recreate the magic at home
• Earn a (very official, slightly whimsical) Certificate of Completion
Expect a cozy, laughter-filled class with a touch of French flair, a dash of patience, and a whole lot of sweetness.
Because at Lochan Zanda… even the coos appreciate a good macaron. 🐮✨
