“I will never forget this wild foods experience and I am so grateful to have been led, tutored and motivated by Alexander McNaughton. Alex is a true champion, ambassador and steward of the majestic British Columbian nature.”

“Alexander is a one of a kind character. He came to us with various ideas of wild crafted products to use in ice creams. Spruce tips was one of the first things he approached us about and thought it would make an awesome ice cream flavour, and he was so right about that. The spruce bud ice cream was one of the flavours that made us really stand out as a business and I know that it has inspired other businesses.”

“Alex’s depth of knowledge never ceases to amaze me. After a day in the forest and on the beaches with Alex… we had a new understanding and appreciation for the beauty and abundance of the Clayoquot Sound… Through Alex’s guidance we were able to create singular and truly memorable dishes reflecting the natural bounty and unique taste experiences offered in coastal BC.”
