Food
Our Approach
True nourishment fuels the whole person — body, mind and spirit. Our culinary program is built on simple, seasonal, nutrient-rich whole foods and balanced to cultivate vitality.
Meals at The Ranch are intentionally plant-forward, abundant in organic ingredients chosen for their nutrient density and harmony with the season. We exclude alcohol, dairy, soy, processed sugars, diet sweeteners and gluten to support recovery and cellular repair. Optional additions, including organic eggs and responsibly sourced poultry and fish, demonstrate our commitment to evolving with nutrition research and the needs of our guests.
Each meal is an invitation to slow down, savor and notice how food makes you feel. Portions can be adjusted to support your needs, and our team is able to accommodate most dietary preferences and allergies.
Farm-to-table Ingredients
For our culinary team, inspiration begins in the soil. We are committed to sourcing fresh, organic whole foods exclusively from local organic or regenerative farms. In Malibu, many of those ingredients come straight from our own Regenerative Organic Certified® garden, where we prioritize soil health and synthetic pesticide-free methods.
Our commitment to better farming practices yields crops that are not only more nutritious and flavorful, but also nourish the health of the local ecosystem. Every ingredient is grown and sourced to leave you feeling restored, sustained and deeply nourished.
Intentional Nutrition
Mindful nutrition has been a cornerstone of our retreats since the beginning. Each meal balances fruits, vegetables, protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats to fuel your body for greater energy, mental clarity and connection. We choose every ingredient with intention and invite you to do the same, establishing your personal rhythms of living well.
Creating Community
Dining at The Ranch is a joyful experience where guests come together and build friendships. Every meal is a moment to practice presence: pausing to relish each bite, engage in conversation and nurture genuine bonds with others. You’ll also learn tools and practices to sustain healthy eating habits beyond your retreat.
