Originally from France, Arnoul settled in this beautiful valley 7 years ago. Being an ecologist first and learning to cook at home in France strongly influences my cuisine. Creating food with sustainable products, and supporting small scale regenerative farming. I’ve got to learn firsthand how slow food practices shape landscapes and communities, preserving nature and our climate. He has worked for many seasons as a commercial forager in British-Columbia, gathering mushrooms and berries all across the province. 

“My goal is to help connect people through food, to their land and community, in a sustainable way”.
