Dining at Easton Mountain

You’ll take your plate and find a seat. Maybe it’s on the deck. Maybe it’s a table on the great lawn, or the sunroom, or somewhere near the pool. There’s no assigned seating. No schedule you have to keep. Just good food and whatever happens next.

What happens next is usually a conversation you didn’t plan on having.

You’ll sit down next to someone from a workshop you just left, and the discussion picks up where it ended. You’ll spot a facilitator you’d been wanting to talk to and they wave you over. You’ll catch the eye of someone across the table, introduce yourself, and by dinner you’ll be picking up where you left off at lunch. Meals at Easton are where the community forms — not in spite of the informality, but because of it. You will always have friends to sit with here.

Dining at Easton Mountain — community meals
The Food

Not “good for a retreat center.” Actually good.

Three meals a day. Every single one, outstanding. Breakfast that gets you going, lunch that doesn’t slow you down, dinner that feels like it was cooked for you specifically. Because in a real sense, it was.

Easton Mountain’s founder, John Stasio, has been a cook and a foodie since long before either word was fashionable — cooking with family, catering for community, feeding people as an expression of care. The kitchen at Easton is the direct descendant of that tradition. What started as a love of food and gathering around the dinner table became the five-star food service for which Easton Mountain is known.

Meals are laid out a-la-carte. You take what you like. Every dietary consideration is welcome and respected — just let us know when you register.

Meet the crew

Rick has captained Easton Mountain’s kitchen since 2017, after six years as an Easton volunteer. He is many things: a seasoned chef, a witty friend, an honorable Navy vet, and a cheeky son of a gun. His compassion and care are as resilient as he himself.

Chef Chris Capone
