Meals

Breakfast – 7 to 9 a.m.: Guests are welcomed at the informal communal breakfast which includes homemade granola, cereal, instant oatmeal, toast, hard boiled eggs, peanut butter and jelly, fruit, juice and milk.

Lunch – Noon: A vegetarian communal home-cooked main meal is provided on all days except Monday and Thursday in which simple food is provided to be eaten in solitude.

Communal breakfast and the midday meals are a good time of fellowship.

Supper – 4 – 8 p.m.: Guests are provided with a thermos of homemade soup and other food (bread, crackers, cheese, fruit, yogurt, peanut butter, and fresh vegetables) to take to their dwelling to eat in solitude.

Special Diets: If you have any special dietary needs, please inform us at least a week in advance. This allows us to accommodate your requirements and plan meals accordingly. We cater to gluten-free and dairy-free diets, as well as a minimum of specific food allergies per person. If your dietary needs are complex, we recommend planning to bring your own food.
