The day featured a breakfast of a smoothie with fruit and maple syrup, a hash made of potatoes and local pastured chicken breast, topped with a couple of eggs, and coffee with local milk and sugar. For lunch, shrimp cooked in butter was enjoyed with seasonal fruits including oranges, tangerines, and watermelon, along with parsnip chips cooked in palm oil and dried mango. A snack of chicken wings was consumed later, supplemented by more dried and fresh fruit.
