Throughout the years Black Elk has fulfilled a strong commitment to maintaining a cooperative and social atmosphere. We have a long running tradition for healthy vegetarian and vegan cuisine; no meat is allowed in the house. We also pride ourselves on recycling, composting, growing some of our own food, and being as environmentally friendly and responsible as possible. Our members vary in age, interests, and sexual orientation- we create an environment that is friendly to all! We welcome and encourage people with broad thoughts, creative ideas, and diverse backgrounds.
