Serving Delicious Home-Grown, Home-Cooked Meals

Camp Glen Brook serves incredible food. We enjoy the pleasure of eating from the garden along with the moral satisfaction of doing the right thing for our visitors, our ecosystem, and our planet. At Glen Brook you can thank the chickens who laid your breakfast eggs, harvest the vegetables for your lunch-time soup and salad and pick the fruits that will go into the evening’s dessert. Meals at Glen Brook are a healthy and creative endeavor thanks to our farmers’ and chef’s leadership and love.

Home Grown Food

We grow most of the produce and all our eggs eggs, we serve right here on our farm. The meat we serve is either raised here or on trusted local farms in our community.

Our Garden

Gabriel’s Field

Glen Brook’s biodynamic garden, Gabriel’s Field, is a source of amazing bounty and beauty. Campers and visiting students are involved in the garden at every level, from composting to planting, to transplanting seedlings, to weeding and harvesting. We notice that children eat more vegetables in the dining room as a result of being involved in this process.

We are grateful to the family and friends of Gabriel Kane who have supported the growth and development of our farm since 2013. Our farm thrives as a result of their love and generosity.
