When Business Feels Like Vacation
The space was cozy and welcoming. Our group had some amazing conversations by the fire and over the most delicious food. I’m still dreaming of the sticky toffee pudding! I can’t recommend enough, truly an amazing week that I will be reminiscing on. Made work feel like a vacation! That Google review, left by one …
Creamy Tomato-Lentil Soup
Because of our wood-fired oven in the outdoor kitchen, guests almost always choose our pizza experience their first time here, but in winter our soup bar, an array of five very different soul-satisfying soups, is also very popular. At the heart of these two Copper House food experiences is a vat of our simple tomato …

Put Your Organization on a New Path for 2025
If you’ve ever watched “Groundhog Day,” you remember how, as the movie grinds on and the same day keeps happening over and over, the camera pulls in for a slo-mo of the alarm clock flipping ominously from 5:59 to 6:00 am. It’s the dread moment. The radio clicks on and Sonny and Cher are singing, …

Lining the wall down to our conference room, we have a cluster of small tree paintings by local artists, most of whom we know. Once I saw Roey’s Glistening Forest, I realized the look, the …

You’re Home
She came up the steps with three or four others—their nonprofit group was back at Copper House for the fourth or fifth time—and when she walked in the door she raised her arms in the air and said, “We’re home!” Everyone laughed because it was sort of true. Copper House feels that way. It’s …
The Simplest, Best Strata
I’ve been making this strata for years and like all good recipes, it has evolved. My most recent discovery is the second baking–cutting the cooked strata into squares and baking them again. This second baking causes the exterior to crisp up and the interior to remain moist and creamy. These pre-cut and baked strata squares …
Finding Gratitude and Peace In Nature
The leaves are falling at Copper House, blanketing the woods, leaving bare, black branches against the November sky. A few days ago, I took a retreat group out for a brief walk. After a productive meeting, it was time for a break. We walked along one of the many trails here at Copper House and …
The Beauty Deficit
We need beauty like we need food and shelter. Being in the presence of beauty fills a deep need we all have to experience the transcendent in the ordinary, to know that the world is shaped, ordered and sustained by a power beyond ourselves. When we’re in the presence of great beauty—a landscape, a lover, …
