Experience the Salish sea as never before. As a salsa!

Join host Chris and Krista as they take you on a foraging journey collecting bull kelp and other various seaweeds to be incorporated into a Pico De Gallo salsa that you’ll create at the commercial kitchen in the Edenwild on Lopez Island, Washington. Then enjoy your freshly made salsa with a So. Cal. inspired taco bar style meal.

Foraging for wild foods is a delicious way to connect with nature. Not only can you find amazing foods that you can't get at the grocery store, but foraging is also a great way to get exercise and fresh air. And, best of all, foraging is free! All you need is a willingness to explore and a little bit of knowledge about which plants are safe to eat. This experience is intended to empower you to eat wild!

The Experience

You will head out as a group to a select location by foot or boat depending on the weather and tides. You’ll gather all the kelp you need to make a delicious seaweed-infused Pico De Gallo. We’ll supply all of the local organic ingredients you need to make enough salsa to enjoy it with the included So. Cal. inspired taco bar style meal, as well as some to take home with you.

Once you have the kelp you’ll head back to the commercial kitchen at the Edenwild where you will create your amazing Pico De Gallo salsa.

Once your salsa is complete, you’ll put it on some tacos and enjoy a lovely So. Cal. inspired taco bar style meal.
