Healthy Cuisine
The
delicious food at Heartwood Institute is an integral part of the holistic
educational experience. Living at Heartwood offers you the unique opportunity
to eat a healthy diet of freshly prepared, organic foods. We have found
that the higher nutrient content (enzymes, vitamins, minerals and fiber)
and life energy of fresh organic food maximizes the healing processes
of the body and mind. The kitchen staff consciously prepares our food,
using whole, organic, unprocessed produce to prepare our vegetarian
meals. Much of the fresh, seasonal produce is harvested daily from vegetable
gardens on Heartwood's land. Fish from California's North Coast is served
occasionally. Freshly baked bread from our outdoor wood-fired oven is
made of flour freshly ground from organic whole grain. Living and eating
at Heartwood involves compassionate relationship with the earth. We
support local organic farmers, and the seasonal produce on our menus
reflects the earth's natural cycles.
