Retreat Menus and Meal Rates

Let our chef-owner, Mary Helan Vesenka Turner, provide delicious, home-made meals for your group. She emphasizes the use of fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables, including produce from her own organic gardens and orchards, about 200 yards from the kitchen. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available, and every attempt is made to accommodate different food allergies and diets.

Please be advised that these rates are different from the rates for our outdoor wedding weekend meals as a wedding reception meal includes appetizers, more entrees, tea/coffee service, more staffing and celebratory (matching!) table ware.

• Breakfast includes orange juice, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, bagels & English muffins or homemade pancakes with Mary Helan’s chemical-free hand-picked blueberries, yogurt and hot or cold cereals.
• Lunch includes make-your-own sandwiches or wraps and homemade soup or fancy-schmancy salad, depending on the season, carrot sticks, chips or crackers and homemade cookies.
• Dinner includes artisan bread, hot homemade entree (could all be meat-free, depending on group’s needs), salad, side dishes featuring Mary Helan’s organic vegetables (when available), a carb such as rice, potatoes or quinoa and a fabulous dessert usually served with whipped cream.
• Coffee/Tea Service covers both morning and afternoon breaks
• Snacks include a variety of sweet & salty things, fresh fruit, candy and chocolate

Rates are per person (20 person minimum) and do not include the 7% Massachusetts Sales Tax on Meals which will be added to the final bill when applicable (Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit groups are exempt from this tax).
