All meals served at the monastery are vegetarian. Grains, seasonal fruits and vegetables are emphasized. Special diets are generally not supported, although serious medical food allergies are taken into consideration. We do serve dairy products and eggs, and we try to purchase animal friendly products whenever possible. All our eggs come from local, free-range chickens. The monastery gratefully accepts all donations of vegetarian food, whether it be organic, fast, junk, canned or food straight from the garden. We serve all gifts that have been offered.
