4 Seasons of Eco-Culinary adventures

Forage hundreds of acres of private nature reserve composed of old growth Acadian forest, conifer and hardwood forests, open fields, meandering river, streams and ponds. Let our guides share with you the varied habitats of Cape Breton found, in microcosm, at Crown Jewel. Pick a bounty of edible wild plants and  carry your harvest back to the kitchen.
Depending on the season your pick includes Maple syrup, Fiddleheads, Chanterelle mushrooms, Sorrel, Clover, Mint, Ground Ivy, wild Apples and many more.

4 Seasons of slow food cooking

After your morning foraging our chef will guide you through the textures, smells and flavours of the plants you have foraged. Together you decide how best to combine these flavours into a 4-course dinner menu.
A practical hands-on experience in the kitchen with our chef allows you complete control over the creative process of fashioning your selections into individual dishes that will best showcase the ingredients.
And to conclude your eco-culinary expedition, you will have the opportunity to relax and enjoy a dinner imaginatively created by yourself.
