Private Retreat Menu
Upon registration, you’ll be asked to select your favorites.
During retreat, three picnic baskets per day will be delivered to your door. Foods are kept simple — and made entirely from scratch. Nothing is processed. Menu options are based upon what comes from our garden — either currently or from an earlier harvest (e.g., canned, frozen). Prior to registration, please review the menu and reach out with any questions or requests.
