Forest For Dinner

What an Adventure! 🌲 This Sunday, the North Vancouver Island Culinary Association braved the rain for an incredible foraging tour with Forest for Dinner - and it was absolutely worth every drop! Led by founders Benjamin Patarin and Célia Auclair, we explored the forests of Vancouver Island, discovering edible treasures and learning about sustainable wildcrafting practices. Forest for Dinner, founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Benjamin and Célia, is a wildcrafting company that brings high-quality wild food products from the Island’s wilderness into the retail space and local food and beverage industry. Their work is rooted in a deep respect for nature, wild food, and decades of foraging experience around the world. Forest For Dinner A huge thank-you to Benjamin, Célia for hosting us and sharing your incredible knowledge and passion. Despite the rain, the day was filled with discovery, connection, and inspiration - a true reminder of the bounty our Island has to offer.
