Holding Your Event At Sunrise Ranch
Nourishing And Delicious Meals
Sunrise Ranch provides our meals for our conference guests and the Sunrise community.
We purchase our chicken, beef, lamb, and pork from people we know who live in our area. We believe that freshness and personal relationship are the best quality control we can provide. This system ensures that our food, from beginning to end, is honored and respected. Our food producers do not use hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides. The vegetables we serve are either grown at Sunrise Ranch, or purchased from small, local farms, as much as the growing season will allow.
Food Preparation
We use traditional wisdom in our menu planning to preserve the life force present in food. We use healthful foods such as bone broth, homemade soups, legumes, leafy greens, raw vegetables including sprouts, coconut milk, and homemade salad dressings. We do not use canola oil, and we limit desserts to a few times per week. We make most of our own bread, and we make our own granola. Being a kitchen that serves the public, we keep the high sanitation standards of our local health department.
We applaud the work being done by many people to bring wholesome practices to food preparation, particularly the work of the Weston A. Price Foundation and by Sally Fallon, whose cookbook, Nourishing Traditions, we recommend highly.
An Atmosphere of Love
For the Sunrise kitchen staff, the atmosphere of love is paramount. You can feel the atmosphere of gratitude as we cook, and we bring a spirit of blessing to the food and our guests.
Special Diets
We offer vegetarian, vegan, ‘fisheterian’ (vegetarians who eat fish), wheat-free, and dairy-free diets when requested at least two weeks before the conference.
We can sometimes accommodate attendees with other dietary needs, including allergies. Please contact us in advance to inquire about any special arrangements. If we are unable to accommodate special requests, those guests must provide their own food.
Snacks
Coffee, tea, fruit and trail mix are served in the dining room for morning snacks. Afternoon snacks include fruit, a variety of cookies and/or other assorted goodies.
