Meals at the Revival Optional meal plans are sold separately and are paid for onsite upon arrival at registration.

Food at the Revival is a highlight of the experience and something we take very seriously. Part of taking impeccable care of ourselves is eating well... and eat well we do. Our menus and food preparation are meticulously planned by our on-site by chefs and volunteer kitchen crew. What you won't find at the revival are hot dogs and macaroni salad.

What you will find is a beautiful array of delicious and healthy food that uses fresh, local, high quality, non-GMO and in-season ingredients as much as possible. There will be food to suit most dietary styles: vegetarian, vegan, omnivore and gluten-free. Many of the vegetable and meat ingredients will be grown here on the land by Green Heron Growers, a NOFA-NY certified organic farm operated by Steve & Julie Rockcastle. http://www.greenherongrowers.com
