Setting

We are located in the heart of Woodstock, Illinois, surrounded by the beauty of rolling hills and lush landscape—an ecological mecca to this area. Our facility includes four acres of vegetable and perennial gardens which give guests the full ‘Farm to Table’ experience. Our new kitchen, the Duchossois Food Systems Lab and Kitchen, has a state-of-the-art design and includes a multitude of amenities to create a true educational experience.

About the Duchossois Food Systems Lab and Kitchen

The Duchossois Food Systems Lab and Kitchen at Loyola University's Retreat and Ecology Campus will allow the campus to complete its full mission potential that will benefit Loyola University students, faculty, and staff and will extend learning opportunities to the community. This facility, in conjunction with the Loyola Student Sustainable Farm, will allow us to teach techniques that will lead to better, smarter, and healthier ways of living.

Our goal is to bring students, staff/faculty, community members, and other partners, including those not familiar with food preparation, engaged in the experience of our kitchen. Groups will be able to participate in a variety of food related workshops during their stay at Loyola's Retreat and Ecology Campus. Workshops will be designed in conjunction with the Loyola Farm to offer well-rounded, seasonal, and educational programs.

These programs can be integrated into any new or existing retreat programs already scheduled for the facility. The new demonstrational kitchen will allow us to open the campus to an even broader range of individuals for a wide range of creative programs. It is our hope that those who participate in programs in the demonstrational kitchen will be left with a lasting appreciation for food production, preparation, and enjoyment.
