We are a young, Vancouver-based company, so we understand the negative stereotypes which have long been paired with hunting. Over-sized pickup trucks? Road signs with bullet holes? Hick shooting jokes? We’ve heard them all.

EatWild wants to be part of something new. We don’t hunt because we like antlers on our walls, or a Quad in the garage. We hunt, fish and gather wild plants because we think it’s about time we changed the way we see food.  We know firsthand the barriers which can prevent city-dwellers from getting in touch with wild food. Hunting certification and licensing can be cumbersome. Harvesting, butchering and preparing wild meat and fish takes knowledge and skills which most of us no longer learn from our parents.

Mission

EatWild wants to change the way you think about your food. Our mission is to develop a community of food-conscious people, who value high quality, organic and ethically sourced game meat and fish. Our goal is to get you excited about learning where your food comes from, and how it was treated along the way. We want to share great adventures and delicious meals, and inspire a new generation of urban folks to get back to the wilderness.

When you EatWild, you:

  •   Enjoy delicious, healthy and ethically-sourced organic food
  •   Experience wilderness first hand; take on an adventure
  •   Learn skills that can feed your family and friends

Visit us on Facebook to see who else loves to EatWild. While you’re there, check out photos from our latest adventures, and “like” us to receive updates about our upcoming workshops and courses. We love to hear from you, so please feel free to drop us a line directly through our contact page.

Eat well and wild!

Tipi Tuesday! The calm before the storm. Shortly a Tipi Tuesday! The calm before the storm. Shortly after this photo was taken, a storm hit us with 100 kms winds and 3 feet of snow. We were stuck in the tent for 7 days before the pilot could get in and fly us out.  The tent saved our lives for sure. We are rolling out a 3 part podcast series this month to tell the story. Stay tuned to the EatWild Podcast. You can also find the story in this month’s @bcoutdoorsmagazine by Clay Armstrong.

In this episode, I am learning about ceremony and In this episode, I am learning about ceremony and ritual from an Indigenous hunter's perspective with my friend La’goot Spencer Greening. La’goot is a Tsimshian leader, storyteller, and academic. 

This past hunting season I witnessed a range of ceremonies that hunters practiced after taking the life of an animal. At one end of the spectrum, I overheard what sounded like a new years eve celebration as a couple of nearby hunters got lucky on the road, to being part of Miki's first hunt where her ceremony involved calm moments of contemplation as she processed the experience of taking her first animal.

We start with a question about holding a ceremony after taking an animal’s life and dive deep into a conversation around rituals, that, in some traditions, start a long time before the hunt takes place.

La'goot shares his experience of the role that his community, elders, and mentors play in learning rituals and developing the practice of ceremony. We reflect on how having those connections can help new hunters be more present in their actions and have a mindful experience when faced with taking an animal's life.

This podcast goes in a few more interesting directions. I am grateful for these insightful conversations with La'goot, and I feel fortunate to be able to share them with our listeners.

It’s January 1st and the first day of 2021 adven It’s January 1st and the first day of 2021 adventure planning.  Looking back through this challenging year, I feel fortunate to have been able to stay connected to nature, my community, and to my way of life as a hunter and fisher.  This was one of the many magical days of 2020.  Planning and looking ahead to trips like this will help get me through till the next harvest season. What adventure are you planning for 2021?  @jennyp403 @celinawolfff @marklrhall @chris.pryn @foundfeast @bc_bridger @chasingfoodclub  #eatwild #msr @msr_gear

Setting your sights on your first rifle - tips for Setting your sights on your first rifle - tips for buying the right firearm with @silvercoreinc 

In this episode, I’m hanging out with Travis Bader from Silvercore. We’re breaking down the things to consider when buying your first firearm for big game. We get into some common misconceptions about firearms. We talk recoil and how to reduce the shock to the body. We discuss pros and cons of calibers for the new hunter who wants a rifle that can do it all.

Travis is an expert in all things firearms. He is a gunsmith and a leader in the firearms training industry. Silvercore provides a range of training opportunities from firearms safety to bear safety and much more. Check them out.

Mule Deer Stracotto with Horseradish Gremolata wit Mule Deer Stracotto with Horseradish Gremolata with Parsnip Mash. This is Chef Mark’s @thechefwhohunts recipe from our EatWild Cooks class series. You can find the recipe on our website. Excellent for bone-in cuts like shanks or ribs. When butchering an animal, I opt to keep the bones in on most of the stewing cuts. Cooking at low temps for several hours makes the meat fork tender. The bones add the flavor that makes the sauce delicious! Favorite winter meal. #eatwild #muledeer #huntbc #osobuco #stracotto #meateater #covidcooking

  • EatWild 45 - The Pole Bender Adventure Part 1 January 14, 2021
    Cliffed out, rained out, blown out and snowed out: the pole bender adventure.  In August 2019, I set out with my hunting crew on a caribou hunting adventure in the mountains of the Tahltan Traditional Territory in Northern British Columbia. Idyllic summer days strolling across the mountain tundra spotting caribou and goats, everything was going […]
