Food & Dining

The dining hall at the IONS' Retreat Center provides seating for groups of up to 120, with outdoor garden dining available most of the year. Local ingredients are the inspiration for our cooking and includes luscious organic fruits and vegetables, free range poultry, hormone-free meat and dairy products, and extraordinary cheeses. We use organic produce from local farmers whenever possible and draw upon flavors and techniques from around the world to create a diverse cuisine with alluring flavors.
