Kimberton Whole Foods Market & Café
A five-minute drive from the conference

and the café is open for breakfast and lunch.
Hours: Mon - Fri / 8 am - 8 pm
Sat / 9am - 6 pm Sun / 10 am - 6 pm
Station Bistro
A five-minute drive from the conference
site. A beautiful, historic stone structure –
once a “station” in the Underground
Railroad – houses a lovely restaurant
whose owner and chef is a Waldorf
alumna and former Waldorf teacher.
Everything served is pedagogically
correct and age appropriate.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dinner

Kimberton Inn
A five-minute drive from the conference

one of the most highly-rated restaurants
in Pennsylvania. (Click here for their
Zagat’s award) Not inexpensive, but
perhaps a good place to celebrate once
you’ve survived the Essential Conference.
Dinner reservations advised.

The Thai Place
A ten-minute drive from the conference
