Common Meals
Currently, we offer two planned common meals on Monday and Wednesday nights and a potluck on Saturday night. If nobody signs up to cook on Monday or Wednesday, we hold an automatic potluck dinner. Members sign up to cook and post a menu and sign up sheet. Other members sign up to assist or clean up. Members can also sign up to cook on other days if they wish. Signing up to eat means you commit to paying the fee even if you can’t make it since the cook has planned a certain amount of food. The price is most commonly $5 per meal per person, except for special meals. Most of the planned common meals are vegetarian, with gluten-free and dairy free options.
Residents and owners are welcome to invite guests to meals and are responsible for paying the fee. Until the dining hall is built, we use the combined living room and dining room in the farmhouse for our common meals. We intend to offer up to five meals a week since more often a cohousing community dines together, the closer they are.
