We spent a day in the Columbia River Gorge foraging and cooking with Karl and learning more about his vision to bring foraging to the forefront with the newly launched Forager Goods and Company.

“Foraging used to be a way for me to escape from the day-to-day grind in the kitchen, and now with Forager Goods & Company I'm able to bring the kitchen to the forest as well.”

Karl whipped up a feast for the crew utilizing the bounty of the Columbia River Gorge and other locally sourced products. BBQ Oysters over fir tips met pickled porcini and ramps, while fiddleheads and morels were blistered over embers to create some of the most exciting and freshest food we’d ever eaten.
