NATURE & CARE
A place we want to keep.
A bear by the river, forest meeting the ocean, and fields of blueberries. A photo journey through Canada, with British Columbia at its heart.
Room for the wild.
Before we think about a harvest, we want to notice who else calls a place home. This black bear at Stamp Falls is looking for salmon. We like what the scene asks of us: slow down, pay attention, and leave room for the life around us.
Where forest meets the coast.
From the trees of Lynn Valley to the waves at Tofino, there is a lot we would like to keep close. Shade to walk into. Air that smells of rain. A shoreline with space to wander. These landscapes help shape our idea of good food, and the kind of care we want to bring to it.
A river worth returning to.
Sockeye gathering in the Adams River fill the water with colour and movement. In another part of BC, water rushes through the green canyon at Lynn Valley. We hope for rivers that future generations can still pause beside, and for everyday food choices that keep us curious about the places behind them.
A season in the fields.
Blueberry rows in Pitt Meadows and a harvest near Agassiz show another part of the story: food that is grown, watched and gathered. We want to learn the patience behind that work. To think about soil and water as well as the fruit in a basket, and to value the people who tend a place through the season.
Take the long way to breakfast.
The photograph from Coquihalla was made while picking blueberries for breakfast porridge. We love that small connection between a walk and a meal. The wide view of Garibaldi Lake reminds us to lift our eyes, too. We would like to find food with curiosity, learn the care each place asks for, and keep the pleasure of being outside.
A handful, close to home.
A basket at a Vancouver Island market. A bowl on a table in Winnipeg. The places are different, but the pleasure is familiar. Berries on their own, scattered over yogurt or folded into warm porridge. We hope these small everyday pleasures can bring a little of that attention back to the table.
Nature, a little closer.
We are drawn to food that keeps a sense of place: a little wildness around it, a season taken seriously, and something good to share. Nature & Care holds the landscapes we admire and the direction we want to grow in.
