Healthy Nutritious Home Cooked Meals

Depdening on the business season, Enota serves a buffet style lunch and dinner each day.  We make the meals for you - we do the shopping, make the meals, put out the food, and clean-up.  We try to use as much food as possible from our garden and farm.  If no buffet, self-service meals are available in the kitchen.  Self-service snacks, beverages, and breakfast (including farm fresh eggs and milk) is also available everyday.  Guests normally pay $7 for breakfast, $8 for lunch, and $10 for dinner.

Work Exchange for Meals:

- 10 additional hours per person.  Each person must also sign up for one dish shift (usually twenty minutes) and one meal prep shift (may last up to two hours) per week.   Alternatively meals may be purchased at $5 each with beverages at $.50.

Stipends Awards

Bonus Awards

For those individuals who stay with us from April 1st through November 31 (the entire 8 months of our full season) a $400 service incentive will be given.  Or for those individuals who miss the cutoff date (April 1st) and stay at Enota for a full year, you qualify for a $50 per month benefit for every month served to be paid once a year on December 1st to offset the loss of the stipend award during the off season time.  This sum will be distributed once a year on December 1st.  If you leave early, no partial sum is distributed.
