Truffle Festival: Cultivation, Harvest & Truffle Dogs
Saturday, February 29, 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Truffle Dog Team: John Kelly & Macchi
Join Shannon Berch, adjunct professor in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems who is at the forefront of a 10-year bid to grow truffles in BC’s temperate climate, at the annual Truffle Festival hosted by the Truffle Association of British Columbia at the UBC Farm.
From a slate of knowledgeable speakers learn about the wonderful culinary truffles that are native to BC, the Mediterranean truffles that are being cultivated here, the basics of truffle cultivation, how to find truffles with your trained truffle dog, and some tips on using truffles in the kitchen. See, smell and taste some of the truffles available in BC. All proceeds go to support the demonstration truffle orchard at the UBC Farm.
