at The Salmonberry
Thursday, February 27th, 3-6pm
Family Style ~ Prix Fix Menu ~ With sunset and wildlife views of the Nehalem River
Cider & Wine Pairings with Carola Wines (N/A options available)
The Salmonberry is back and welcoming us for a Winter Waters evening on the Wheeler Waterfront, with sunset and wildlife views over the Nehalem River. This meal is all about the climate, fauna, soil, terrain, tradition, and proximity to the ocean. This coastal area is vast and varied in climate. Diversity it is sowed, grown, gathered, prepared, and consumed. The circle is complete when people gather, converse, and dine, while celebrating their family, friends, one another, and the labor of the producers and purveyors who make it possible.
A portion of sales from this event go to the Oregon Kelp Alliance - working diligently to monitor, protect, and restore Oregon's wild kelp forest ecosystems that we so depend on. By opting into the Captains Chair ticket price, you will directly support the nonprofit, our local proveyers, and our hard working staff.
Alanna Kieffer of Shifting Tides, Oregon Seaweed, and Winter Waters co-founder, will be present to speak to the seaweed, aquaculture, and blue foods industry in Oregon and state wide initiatives to keep Oregon Seafood Local.
David Hendrickson of Carola Wines will be pouring local Wheeler made ciders using foraged and feral apples of the Nehalem Valley.
