A note on food
We pour a lot of love into every aspect of our food system, and pride ourselves on being able to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs. We serve meat and dairy daily, and always have vegan and gluten-free options available. If you send us your dietary preferences in advance, we will do our best to make sure there is good food for you at each meal! All living accommodations have access to a full kitchen (separate from the main/commercial kitchen). Drinks include: coffee and tea, dairy and non-dairy milk, lemon and lime juice for water, red and white wine.
We have found that the communal food system that best supports this program is:
- DIY breakfasts, with abundant bulk groceries available for your own morning rhythm
- Abundant leftovers lunches, supplemented by any additional foods you choose from the communal pantry
- Cheffed dinners, with participants joining for either “prep” or “clean” shifts.
