Meals
We eat together in community. Our kitchen staff serves three meals daily during the summer, much of it from our organic garden in summer months. We also serve fruit from our own trees as well as fresh produce from the surrounding farms. Our kitchen turns out delicious menus of "slow food": everything here, including the bread, is cooked from scratch, primarily from whole grains and as fresh as possible. We accommodate vegetarians and those on special needs diets.Facilities
