Company Description:

FORBES WILD FOODS is a Canadian company that supplies wild foods primarily to restaurants and hotels, gift, food and health stores, to internet customers, and to customers at Farmer’s Markets across Toronto.
All of our foods are harvested from the Canadian wilderness by trained pickers who practice sustainable harvesting methods – sustainable for that particular plant species, but also sustainable for the pickers, whose livelihood is supported by a thriving source of wild foods, and sustainable for other wildlife. The pickers are usually residents of rural or remote communities who respect the lands that support them. They are Aboriginal people, women, youth and farmers. Only those wild foods whose survival is not in danger are used.
We are looking for an Aboriginal post-secondary or secondary student to come and work with us for the summer.
