“The culture and the people are still alive. Our life entails protecting the cultural history and ancestry of our people, having people recognize the past as a legacy to our future. Protection and awareness so that we can share it with others and preserve it for the future generations to come. We have to remind ourselves that we are the Gate Keepers of the World in all its of glory and beauty and not take it for granted for Mother Earth is almighty. We’re fortunate to have people who want to listen and learn about our culture. I feel honored to be associated with those people.”

Stay tuned! We're working out some details to be able to bring back this sold-out event from 2019....In this unique educational dining experience, participants will enjoy a gourmet eight course meal featuring unusual wild plants and mushrooms foraged from the local environment which will be prepared and served in a fine dining style. Between courses, Jess Starwood, local herbalist, forager and chef will present the plants and mushrooms used in each dish to explain their important health benefits and how to incorporate them into meals for everyday use and special occasions. Each course will be crafted from seasonal wild foods and organic ingredients sourced from local farms. Locally brewed drinks including mead, elderberry wine and herbal beers will be served and discussed throughout the meal. The meal is plant-based and free of gluten, soy, refined sugars, egg and dairy. This event is part of The Forest Table project by Jess Starwood, where she aims to present the abundance of what our natural environment offers us through the lens of creative, educational and multi-sensorial community experiences. These events highlight locally sourced foods to bridge the connection between the forest and the people. Memorable experiences shape and influence people's minds and hearts. Through these unique experiences, she hopes to cultivate a renewed sense of respect and responsibility for the care-taking of our land for a positive and sustainable future.
