Community Living
Common Meals
​
A community meal takes place most Sundays at 6:00 PM in the Common House. Members who want to participate sign up to cook or clean up several times in a three-month cycle. There is a small fee for each meal. Dietary restrictions are honored.
​
We also have frequent potluck dinners, lunches, or breakfasts; and occasional “Dinner by Sixes” where members are organized into groups to share meals in members’ homes.

The Winter Retreat is held at the common house over two days with dining, dancing, art projects, and some offsite activities like bowling, hiking, skiing.

Rocky Hill residents are pet lovers! There are a number of dogs and cats and chickens. The pet policy requires that dogs be leashed whenever they are outside.
