Community Futures: Wild Forager Catering

​Foraging for us is about finding the great local ingredients around us, that are hiding just up the road. 

Wild Forager Catering is a husband-and-wife team specializing in weddings and custom catering, from farm to table dinners to family celebrations. The alchemy of food and gatherings is the root of creation for the Wild Forager. The Passion behind it is a melting pot of curiosity and love for food and the world it comes from.  From their choices of Ocean Wise seafood to ethically raised beef and local seasonal vegetables, they are committed to being a responsible producer that befits our community and food culture. 

On the apron strings of his grandmother, Chef Jonathon Gee found a passion for cooking. From a young age, there was only one path set in front of him.  Growing up in the Fraser Valley steeped in agriculture has cultivated his love for serving food grown and foraged locally. With over 25 years of cooking experience and 18 of those years being in the Fraser Valley's premier wedding establishments, The Wild Forager is his newest palette of creative expression.

Erin and Jonathon started Wild Forager in January 2019 organically growing from a simple decision to start saying yes to anyone who asked if they catered functions. They did a week with a CBC production at Harrison Hot Springs and from there, their business started to grow.  Based in Agassiz, they service Hope to Maple Ridge, 2 to 200 people.  

Like many in the hospitality industry, COVID forced them to adapt.  They started offering premade freezer meals with local producers like Creekside Dairy & Creamery.  They added traditional meals to their menus such as beef lasagnas, cabbage rolls, and shepherd’s pies made with local organic beef.  They started doing pop-up kitchens serving hot fresh meals.  Follow them on Facebook to see when their next pop-up dinner will be.
