Nathalie goes to the big supermarket once a week and is happy to take you along also
Depending on size of the group, it can be beneficial to pool resources and get food supplies as a group. We also encourage creatives to work in pairs to prep/ make/ serve and clean up dinner once a week to add to the communal spirit of the gathering - though this is not enforced it often happens organically.

“My time at The Mill was magical. I went there with an open mind... to see if I could tap into that source of creativity hidden somewhere inside of me, and came away with the start of my book.”
