This is the Truffiere ONLY portion of this event. If you would like to join us for both the Forest Hunt as well as the Truffiere Hunt, please follow THIS LINK.
This Truffiere ONLY portion of the event starts at 11:30 am
11:30 am — Join us at the Truffiere Farmhouse for Lunch at 12 pm where we’ll connect with Chef Andrew Hroza the Executive Chef at Ninkasi’s Living Room and recently voted “best local chef” by the Eugene Weekly! While enjoying your sips and bites you’ll learn plenty of tips and tricks to using truffles in just about any dish!
1:30 pm--The exciting part. Let’s go hunting for Perigord Truffle! Meet on the farmhouse deck for a discussion on the history of truffle production in Oregon as well as an introduction to the farm.
You and the rest of the band of adventurers will head out with the four-legged associates into the truffière. What will we find? Do they have different aromas? So many questions and the dogs are here, ready to answer them!
You will have a ring-side position watching the dogs locate ripe truffles….and when they do, you will have a hands-on opportunity to smell truffles in the soil and perhaps even dig them out for yourself! Please wear clothes that can stand a bit of mud for that reason– this is a farm after all.
3 pm — Back to the farmhouse to clean truffles and chat more. Any truffles that are available from hunts will be available for purchase at a special rate.
4pm– Depart, swag in hand, ready to explore what the Southern Willamette has to offer!
