Food
A gourmet vegan experience! ALIVE! Creative and delicious!
You will find some of your favourite dishes on our menu – from pates and crackers to succulent main dishes; from freshly-made ice cream to cookies and cakes. Preparing our foods by soaking, blending, dehydration, culturing and the culinary creativity and talent of our chefs, The Farm transforms vegetables, nuts, seeds and fruits into absolutely delectable culinary delicacies. All our foods are produced daily on the premises: breakfast granola, butters, and jams, dairy-free milk, chutneys, salad dressings, freshly-baked breads, pizza crusts, “hamburger”/veggie burgers and raw-chocolate dessert treats.
The Farm uses specially designed dehydrators instead of cooking to give raw foods a variety of textures resembling cooked foods, without destroying the nutritional properties and enzymes of the foods. Warm soups are served rather than cooked hot soups in order to preserve the valuable nutritional building blocks the body needs to continuously rebuild and renew itself, thus slowing the aging process and giving you energy and vitality.
The retreat package includes:
• Rejuvenating ALIVE! gourmet meals: Breakfast, 5-course Lunch, 5-course Dinner
• Afternoon Tea & light snacks served daily from 3:30pm – 5:00pm
• Wellness Juices (unlimited juices, shakes and smoothies throughout the day)

In addition to the meditation, asana and pranayama practices, you will be journalling and group sharing throughout the week as a self-exploration tool to help deepen your yoga practice.
