About the Breitenbush Kitchen and Cookbook

October 26, 2018 by Christine Lines 2 Comments

By Peter Moore

Business Director
Breitenbush Hot Springs

When I found my way to Breitenbush, in the spring of 1978, just a few souls lived here. There were no divisions of labor between us then, so everybody worked to do everything that needed to be done—new foundations and roofs for cabins, miles of trenches for new pipes (drinking water, geothermal heating pipes from the hot water wells we drilled, septic pipes, electric conduit pipes), cooking to keep the workers going, and lots more. Our fledgling community, which grew to about a dozen in the first three or four years, consisted mostly of twenty-somethings, with a couple of teenagers and one or two over-thirty people. We all shared a lot of meals together. [Read more…]

By Peter Moore

Business Director
Breitenbush Hot Springs

I first arrived at Breitenbush Hot Springs in the spring of 1978, more than 40 years ago. I was 28 years old and had just gotten back to the USA after 4 years travelling in Europe and Asia. Upon returning from India and Nepal, I hiked a long section of the Pacific Crest Trail, a trail that extends more than 3000 kilometers, from the southern border of the US and Mexico all the way to the northern border with Canada.
