This summer, Easton Mountain retreat center and sanctuary will serve our LGBTQ community in many ways — including by serving farm-to-table meals. We intend to nourish our bodies well and to celebrate the food we lovingly grow and craft together.
To make truly awesome meals, we are hosting a “Summer Sous” to work with Vanessa (Pennyroyal) in the kitchen in June, July, and August. Each of these three separate positions begins the first retreat of the month and ends at the close of the last retreat that same month. We will provide housing (may be shared on some retreats), a small stipend, and travel expenses to and from Easton (for regional travel only; we are sorry that we cannot cover the full costs of cross-country or international travel just yet!)
The “Summer Sous” works 4 days a week, breakfast through dinner clean up, to assist the Kitchen Director in creating well-considered, delicious meals for retreats at Easton Mountain. We will tailor the work to folks’ skills and interests, yet it will definitely, persistently include helping to:
- pick & prep veggies,
- facilitate the involvement of volunteers who cook with us, and
- maintain a sparkling kitchen.
It is an exciting time to work in the kitchen at Easton. We held many sold out retreats this winter and expect a full house regularly this summer. We have a strong partnership with Green Thumb Stand, our neighboring farm, and our own garden is holding a lot of promise. We are baking in-house, and we will be cooking outdoors tons this coming season. Perhaps you have kitchen gifts you would like to bring to the table, and would like to come to live and work with us here at Easton.
