Hi , you're invited to come with me to this gorgeous spot on Cortes Island on May 8-12 for a coastal foraging adventure.  I'll be harvesting and cooking alongside a small group of students wild foods that we find on our forays.  We may be able to dig for clams like geoduck and littleneck, hand harvest nori  and other wild seaweeds, pick wild edible flowers, sea snails, mushrooms, maple blossoms, nettles, you'll learn about whatever nature provides.  I'll cover how to safely, ethically harvest and cook many of the wild coastal bounty of BC. Lodging at Hollyhock and all your meals are included in the event and there are only a few tickets left!

Morel mushrooms are THE most delicious mushroom in my mind and as a bonus they are one of the few spring mushrooms that come up consistently every year.  Learn to find your own patches of morels and to safely and confidently harvest the right ones by coming out on our morel foraging field trip this May with our team of experts!

Clam Dig & Cookout!

Come dig some clams and eat with our chef team at Birch Bay for our annual clam cookout!  The low tides on April 27+28th are the perfect dates to learn how to properly dig for all sorts of clams with our fishing experts like Ficus Chan owner of Crab Bellingham + 5 local chefs including myself.  Chefs will be shucking and smoking clams over on the fire for your enjoyment!  A tasting of different clam dishes is included in your clam digging class.
