  The Stanford Inn by The Sea is a luxury, plant-based eco-resorts overlooking the majestic Mendocino Coast. It is design to help guests travel in a way that protects and respects the destination, and improves their own well-being as well as that of the local community and the whole planet. Here are a few ways this Inn is truly unique:

• It seeks to simultaneously create joy in communing with natural surroundings while also lowering guests’ carbon footprint – encouraging them to move through forests, beaches, backroads, and water
• Is one of the rare resorts that is truly committed to offering and promoting a whole food, plant-based cuisine, with no ersatz or processed substitute ingredients.  (Many resorts that claim to be vegan-friendly still offer meat and dairy cuisine as well.)
• Features a full complement of experienctial and exploratory classes plant-based food preparation
• Has its own farms and a farming staff that teaches classes in growing food. 

The Inn owners Jeff and Joan Stanford report that their guests find deep joy in knowing they are not in any way contributing to the mistreatment of animals or the depletion of the planet’s resources.
