Is Food Included in the Nightly Rate?
We stock the communal kitchen with an abundance of fruits and vegetables. The nightly rate includes using the communal kitchen and the fruits and vegetables to prepare your own meals, salads, smoothies and juices (up to 16 ounces of juice per day is included). We only provide fruits and vegetables, including coconuts and all kinds of tropical fruit. We also have a greenhouse with a wide selection of lettuces, greens and herbs for your salads and juices.
If you want other food ingredients, please bring your own. (e.g. bring your own nuts, seeds, superfoods, seaweed, grains or foods that you may want to eat that we don't provide). We have pantry and fridge space where you can store your personal grocery items.
You can buy groceries at the markets at the beach and even in our village, but the selection is limited. Rather, we recommend you bring grocery items with you in your luggage – keep them in their original, sealed packaging in order to pass customs. Please note, if you are coming to Farm of Life for healing, then you will be discouraged from eating nuts and seeds, so leave them at home.
We have a menu and daily dinner specials that you can order for an additional expense. Our Chefs prepare extraordinary meals, but these are not included in the nightly rate.
Chef-prepared meals cost extra. For example, dinners may range from $16 - $20 per person plus sales tax and gratuity.
