A socio-economic eatery
Møllecaféen is run by the social economy company Fonden Kilden, which helps young people and citizens with special needs.
Imagine a place where no one has to struggle with being different. A place where everyone is seen as a whole person with more opportunities than challenges. Such a place is Kilden. Through education and employment, young people develop in a way that turns special needs into special skills of the kind that businesses can use.
In Kilden’s kitchen program, students and staff help out in the Mill Café, and you will definitely meet them behind the counter. The green line grows herbs and crops that are also used in the Mill Café.
A human cause
It’s no coincidence that The Mill café has a socio-economic profile. Esrum Kloster & Møllegård has a long tradition of helping people move on in life: Before the buildings were restored in the late 90s and opened to the public, they have been home to many different people. The monastery has not only housed monks, royalty or colonels; it has also been a child welfare center and county office, a nature school and a post office. And before that, medieval monks interceded for all of humanity for 200 years.
