For Chefs and Restaurateurs

“I met Julie Walker in 2011 when we collaborated on the first SAIT Chef’s forage. It was an incredible experience that has led to a great relationship of taking Sait Chefs and students out every year. Julie has such compassion and knowledge of the edible and medicinal plants of Southern Alberta while also grounding us in the traditions of the First Nations. Understanding our role in the food system and learning what true sustainability is through respecting the land is always a big awakening on each forage. What started out as an activity for the chefs to get out into nature and forage a few plants has turned into THE most favorite day we look forward to every year.”
