Join us for a magical mussel foraging adventure just north of SF on the Sonoma Coast near Bodega Bay. You will learn how to sustainably forage, clean, and prepare our beautiful California coast mussels – as well as an overview of the land’s history, intertidal zone ecosystem, and what it means to be a good steward of our land and waters. 

If you haven't experienced freshly foraged mussels, you will be in for a treat!

Post-foraging, we gather on the beach, cook them up, enjoy the view, and teach you how to care for the mussels you're taking home.

Each person can take home up to 10 lb of fresh foraged mussels to share, recipes, and instructions.

Terrain is rocky, slippery, and uneven. Footwear with good tread is required.

A fishing license is required ($20 from CDFW for a day license or $60 for an annual). If you're getting a day license, you may wish to wait to purchase your fishing license til the day of since CDFW doesn't allow date transfers.
We can only run this program when domoic acid levels are safe to consume mussels. If they are too high, we reschedule.
