11:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Join renown chef, author and mycologist Bill Jones as he leads you on a unique wild food experience. Forage food display, show and tell, guided forage and a delicious meal to top it all off.

Join us in 2018 for wild food forages in the spring (edible plants and morel mushrooms) and fall (wild mushrooms). The fall schedule is usually confirmed in August, the only thing that might really change is the start of the mushroom season (late September or early October) but the dates this year look like they fall in the “safe” zone. Buying a gift certificate enables the user to book any* upcoming workshop (spring or fall).

The course is a fun day explor­ing the wild foods of the Cowichan Val­ley. We start with an infor­ma­tive talk in our farm class­room, sample some unique wild food dishes and then head out on to the Trans-Canada Trail which runs by the farm. After a nice walk through beau­ti­ful and pro­duc­tive farm­lands and for­est we will identify wild plants, edible and poisonous species and habitat along the way. We will return to the farm for a unique dessert based on local foraged foods.
