Life at Calm Chaos Maple Bay

Behind the scenes at our Maple Bay retreat: macaws, garden harvests, curious deer, six character cats, and the daily moments guests turn into love letters.

Grilled vegetables and herbs

Recipes From the Raised Beds

Simple, seasonal plates you can make right here. We grow what we love, and we share it: herbs for marinades, greens for quick sautés, and vegetables that shine with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
