Foraged and Found on Orcas Island
The Northwest has a bounty of delicious wild edibles.
I grew up in Kansas, which while it has own beauty and edible bounty, does not compare to the riches of berries, mushrooms and tender greens that are showered down on Northwest Washington.
Few people know that as well as Jeremy Faber, proprietor of Foraged and Found Edibles, a Seattle-based company that provides Seattle's (and Orcas Island's) top restaurants with wild mushrooms, miner's lettuce, huckleberries and other treats according to season.
I got to know Jeremy when I was working at Carmelita and I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to get him up to Doe Bay Cafe.
Jeremy will be bringing his foraging skills to Doe Bay in April. We're looking forward to hosting a talk about the down and dirty details of finding the best edibles Orcas Island has to offer in the spring.
Best of all, the lecture will be followed by a dinner featuring locally foraged foods. I'm hoping for fiddleheads, nettles, and maybe even a few mushrooms!
Stay tuned for more details.
On a bittersweet note, we are losing our breakfast server Erica, this week. She, baby Eden and husband and Doe Bay gardener James are moving on to bigger and better farms and gardens up in BC.
She will be missed by all of her regulars and most of all by her coworkers. Thank you Erica for the style and good humor you brought to the cafe! For any of you out there who think you can fill her shoes, we are currently accepting applications for a weekend breakfast server.
best wishes,
Abigael
