Both cultivated and foraged foods grace The Chef Studio table. Explore three key regions of the northwest to learn about our wild bounty the Oregon Coast, Mt. Hood and an urban trek through the city of Portland.
Sara Pool is a lifelong organic gardener, landscaper, mushroom hunter, and forager,who began at the age of eight raising rabbits and growing tomatoes. Her mother's first foraging rule was "the darker the berry, the morelikelyit is edible, and white berries should be avoided, in any country."
In 2008, she founded Grow Me Organics with just $350 worth of seeds in her back pocket. She has since designed many private gardens and conducted workshops for various nurseries and hydroponics stores, the NE Tool Library, and the City of Portland. Sara also serves on the Portland Multnomah Food Policy Council and chairs the Wild Foods Work Group.
