An ethnographic methodology is used to describe the intersection of leisure practices and the lived experience of community within the context of a communal farm, known as the Farm. This manuscript focuses specifically on a leisure practice known as Family Dinner where members of the extended Farm community gathered for a weekly potluckstyle meal. When conviviality is understood as a proxy for leisure, Family Dinner is seen as a type of informal leisure experience whereby participants are acculturated and disciplined into certain cultural practices. Communal meals are examined as leisure practices that showcase the accumulation of cultural capital related to food. The study's findings have implications for future analyses of power dynamics within the context of informal leisure practices.
