Culinary Program
Our Culinary Program is spearheaded by our Farm House Manager, Kellie Plessner, who works with our RDA, Brooke Beal, to develop and maintain a healthy, nutritious diet. Kellie is an excellent teacher and residents learn how to prepare produce from our garden and other local suppliers to produce delicious, satisfying meals that reflect the personality of our state, Maine, and at least once a week the ethnic specialties that each student selects and studies from one of our cookbook, or from a recognized family recipe. Kellie also coordinates her concern for nutrition with our resident RN to focus on nutrition classes, hygiene and weight and strength management and training.
