NWCAV Farm-Hopping Field Trip

Today we had so much fun! Our school went on a farm-hopping field trip in the greater Vancouver area. We personally picked a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and salad greens for our menus/final practical that begins on Sunday.

We visited Krause Brothers' Farms first and picked gorgeous blueberries and raspberries. Next was Vista D'Oro where we gathered beans, fennel, and some beautiful tomatoes. They also have a small cooking school there and a store filled with delicious homemade jams and other items. The next stop was Glorious Garnish and Seasonal Salads. Susan kindly let us pick edible flowers, all types of lettuce, garnish, herbs and mulberries. We are thrilled that we will be able to serve our guests such lovely ingredients next week.

We stopped to eat our packed lunch. The previous day in school we cooked up a Middle Eastern and Latin buffet (the last casual cooking day of the course). On Sunday we will be finalizing most of our menu and we will be cooking for guests on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
