Wild Foods &
Fine Products
Explore an array of wild flavours and fine products straight from local Nova Scotia... And that's not all!
Cheese, cured meat, diverse spices, berries and more. We offer a large range of carefully selected fine products, leaving you with an exquisite tasting experience.
Roots & Cie
Discover our seasonal range of produce directly from our gardens, ready to enjoy! The Roots and Co. Project stems directly from our FD Wild Foods: after observing and applying our knowledge of local ecosystems, we applied these lessons to cultivate high-quality produce, balanced with nature, without the use of pesticides or chemicals, or any intensive production practices... nature is left to do what it does best!

Wood & Cie
Simplicity, Beauty, Diversity - nature gives us a range of unique wood-types, and we use them to create various items (such as window-boxes, wooden presentation trays...)
We also create indoor or outdoor furniture, as well as play houses, all with a natural and enchanting touch! The wood is worked on in respectful a way enabling it to blend into any natural surrounding. Talk to us about your project - Our creative talent will give it a valuable twist, guaranteed!
Wild Nature Ecotours
Join one of our day-long eco-excursions and discover a diverse array of new tastes while in the Nova-Scotian wilderness! We will share our knowledge and passion for these wild foods with you so that you can use them in your own cooking at home - Impress your friends and family!
Of course, during the excursion, you can look forward to tasting various wild foods and a meal prepared with hand-picked wild items during the excursion, for a truly authentic experience!
