Timber Frame Workshop 2012: Food and Dining

Unlike other similar natural building workshops, we provide all meals and indoor dining facilities for the Timber Framing Workshop. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be prepared by the Milkweed Mercantile Organic Cafe. Meals will be served buffet style and will consist of fresh, local food prepared simply and deliciously. Organic and Fair Trade Certified coffee and tea will also be provided! The meals will include an occasional local meat dish, delicious vegan fare, and hearty organic vegetarian dishes, featuring local, seasonal, and organic produce. We will happily accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies. Make sure to indicate any restrictions/allergies in your application.

It is recommended that participants bring snacks and specialty items if they wish (think nuts, dried fruit, granola) to supplement the otherwise complete meal service.

Lodging and Accommodations During Your Stay

We provide student accommodations including a 8′ x 10′ tent platform, access to composting toilets and indoor shower facilities, free wireless internet, and land line phone access. These accommodations are already included in the price of the Timber Framing workshop.
