Learn to hunt, fish and gather food. Have fun and join a community of hunters, foodies and outdoor people.

Let EatWild introduce you to hunting. At EatWild we believe that hunting is about respecting our food and where it comes from, understanding nature, and experiencing adventure.

We can teach you to harvest and enjoy BC’s bounty of wild food. With the skills and confidence you can take responsibility for harvesting meat for your family and friends. At EatWild we will teach you all about elk, deer, ducks, and moose, where they live, and how to go about hunting them.

We also offer seasonal food preparation and preservation workshops, to teach you to make the best use of your harvest. Visit us on Facebook to learn about our upcoming workshops, seminars, and wild dinners parties.
