August 24th

SOLD OUT.

The Chanterelle

We have to confess, this is our favourite mushroom. It has the perfect texture, the exact sweetness and a limited window of growth that makes the search so exciting. Found mostly under Hemlocks their yellow golden colour makes them fairly easy to spot. But it's their taste. Sauteed in butter and just a bit of garlic with a splash of white wine. We need not say more. Along with the Chanterelles we will search for Honey Mushrooms, an assortment of Boletes, Puffballs and Summer Oysters.

Start time: 10:30 am. Duration: approx. 3hrs

August 31st Forage & Feast

SOLD OUT.

Late August offering feature several types of Boletes including what some call The Wild Porcini. This family of mushrooms is quite easy to identify simply because it has no gills. Instead there is a "spongy" substance that bruises olive to blue when touched. They are quite delicious especially when harvested young. These will be one of the many mushrooms we will forage for along with wild leek bulbs and amazing wild ginger. After our foraging segment we return to the Forest Motel where a four course meal awaits us, served under banquet tents alongside a lovely lake. Truffle Gouda from Mountain Oak Cheese along with baguettes from The Downie Street Bakehouse will be the opening fare followed by our popular Summer Sorrel and Potato Soup. Our main course will be a Wild Mushroom Bolognese followed by fresh peach pies from The Black Angus Bakery. Locally brewed craft beers and wines from Niagara are also included.

Start time: 9:45 am
Where: Packham Sports Complex
Cost: $75 per person.
