The Easton Experience

The Easton Experience Private Chef | Retreat Leader | Event Curator | Certified Health & Wellness Coach | Building Community Through Conscious Food, Art & Magic
(334)

I’m Sarah Sunshine Hinsch, founder of The Easton Experience — an umbrella brand uniting my work as a private chef, retreat leader, wellness coach, and event curator. I’m a Certified Health and Wellness Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (NYC), with over 25 years in the culinary world and 18 years in the wine and spirits industry. My journey began over 20 years ago when I started

healing myself through high-vibrational foods from Mother Earth — which led me to open the first 100% organic, plant-based cafés in Northeastern Pennsylvania in 2014. What began as a passion for organic food became a lifelong path of spiritual healing, conscious living, and intuitive cooking. Throughout my career, I’ve produced fine wine dinners with Robert Mondavi’s Winemaker of the Year, hosted events with Dave Matthews and his wine The Dreaming Tree, and led cause marketing campaigns like Blackstone Winery’s partnership with No Kid Hungry. Today, I bring that same passion for connection and creativity to The Easton Experience — a community-driven movement rooted in historic downtown Easton, PA. I specialize in:
✨ Private dining and retreat catering – nourishing people with immersive, elevated meals that let guests fully relax and reconnect.
✨ Event coordination and festival production – bringing together local artists, retailers, restaurants, and farms to celebrate community and creativity.
✨ Brand collaboration and cause partnerships – aligning vision, talent, and heart to grow meaningful, purpose-driven projects. The sun + heart in my logo reflect the joy and care behind every experience; the river nods to our beloved Delaware, Lehigh, and Bushkill — and to the flow of community we build together. At its core, my mission is simple: to remind us that magic is another word for love. ☀️

If you’re a sponsor, venue, farm, artist, or brand interested in collaborating on events that feed the body, inspire the spirit, and uplift community, let’s connect.

Our daughters are not just growing up, they are becoming….and we, as mothers, are becoming right alongside them.

It’s a chance to deepen your bond, be seen and supported by other incredible mothers and honor this precious season of her becoming….and yours.

I’m excited to share this year’s holiday private chef menu. These are the dishes that feel closest to my heart, the recipes I’ve honed over the years, sourced from the farmers and markets I love and make with the same intention and care I bring to every part of The Easton Experience and the Intuitive Green Chef. This is the way I cook when I want people to feel truly nourished, welcomed and at home.

Everything on this menu is created from pastured, organic and local ingredients whenever possible. I keep my sourcing close to home, supporting the growers, makers and small businesses that make our community what it is. It’s food rooted in place, made with loving intention and designed to bring people together.

Please contact me today if you’re thinking about hosting a gathering. I’d love to talk with you and help shape something beautiful and create magic with local food in your home (or mine;)). I’m booked Nov 29, Dec 5–7, 11–14, and Dec 26 for holiday meals, so reach out if any dates around those work for you. 🙏❤️💚🌱✨

🍁 It’s a beautiful fall day — the perfect day for community connection and a little local food love! ☀️

Join me this morning at 10 AM for Shop with Sarah Sunshine: A Local Love Walk & Market Tour, starting at the Larry Holmes statue at Scott Park.

We’ll stroll through Easton’s most vibrant markets — from the Easton Farmers’ Market to Nature’s Way Market, the Easton Public Market Farm Stand, and more — celebrating the magic of local living, fresh food, and neighborly connection.💚

Bring a non-perishable food item (or grab one along the way) and receive $10 in Easton Farmers’ Market Bucks, a reusable tote, and a Local Food Guide courtesy of Buy Fresh Buy Local Greater Lehigh Valley and Intuitive Green Chef.

Let’s walk, smile, and fill our baskets — and hearts — with local goodness.

✨ Big News from Sarah Sunshine! ✨

Twelve years ago, I began my journey right here in Easton, opening Greenmouth — our region’s first 100% organic, plant-based cafés. That seed grew into Intuitive Green Chef, my personal chef and wellness brand… and now, it has blossomed into The Easton Experience — a one-stop home for everything I create: from private chef dinners and wellness retreats to community events and festivals like the Easton Witches’ Walk.

Before rooting my heart and work in Easton, I spent nearly two decades in the fine dining and wine and spirits industry — producing exclusive wine dinners with Robert Mondavi’s Winemaker of the Year, hosting events with Dave Matthews and his wine The Dreaming Tree, supporting the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival as a top sponsor with Constellation Brands and leading cause-marketing campaigns such as Blackstone Winery’s partnership with No Kid Hungry.

Now, I’m bringing that same passion for connection, creativity, and purpose home — into our beloved, historic downtown Easton. None of this would exist without you — the friends, neighbors, artists, farmers, and dreamers who have supported and inspired me for the past 12 years. 💛

This next chapter is about evolution and expansion — creating more inclusive, joy-filled, and heart-centered experiences that celebrate food, art, and community. From farm to table, from festival streets to private retreats, every experience is designed to nourish the body, awaken the spirit, and remind us that magic is another word for love. ✨

Here’s to Easton — where creativity flows like our rivers, and where the next wave of magic is already taking shape. Stay tuned for what’s to come and thank you for being part of this beautiful journey. 🌞

Over the years, I’ve shared so many beautiful moments in the kitchen — cooking with friends, family, and fellow chefs — creating pure magic through food, laughter, and love. 🍋💫

I’m so excited to be stepping fully back into this realm again — nourishing people and communities with heart and intention. While my roots are plant-forward, I also love working with sustainably sourced meats and creating sweet, soulful delights that bring joy to every table. 🍰🥗🔥

This isn’t just food — it’s love, alchemy, and connection. Whether it’s a fine dining experience in your home as a private chef, a retreat where I nourish you and the attendees from morning until evening, or a community event, I’m here to bring that magic to life through every bite. 💚✨

Call, text or email me to book a dining experience unlike any other with me today!

Some of my favorite jobs are when you welcome me into your home to cook a 5 star meal for your favorite people! Where else can you eat when you know all the ingredients are wholesome local, grass fed….even some homegrown?! Last night was totally casual after a day of golf in the rain they didn’t even want to eat in the dining room with the fine china….but I can set one heck of a table too to make it extra fancy;)! Whether you’re inviting family over or a business meal spoiling your best customers, enjoying customized dinners made with love is a one of a kind treat that your guests will cherish. When you support me you’re also supporting local farmers and markets at the same time! I love how the appreciation and joy is reciprocated. Every time I do this “work” I am overwhelmed with the feelings of just how incredible everything always works out better than planned and my culinary experiences throughout my life have led me exactly where I need to be.
Let me share with you how it feels to be spoiled with food…it’s totally my passion and I can’t wait to experience it with you! 💚🥂🍽️
