Chef Karl Holl’s Pandemic Pivot Offers Foraging Inspiration and Gear; Launches with Limited-Edition Collaborations with Shota Nakajima, Smith Teamaker and More

PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning chef and seasoned forager Karl Holl launches Forager Goods & Company (FG&CO) today as an outdoor lifestyle brand offering modern classic gear, forest-ready recipes and resources for the growing forager community.

“After a year of constant pivots and struggles owning a restaurant in 2020, I began to reimagine my career as a chef outside a traditional kitchen,” says Chef Holl. “I created Forager Goods & Company to unite my deep love of spending time in the forest foraging and building community through food, while giving back to the land that provides so much.”

Forager Goods & Company’s Earth Day launch emphasizes the brand’s commitment to nature preservation and responsible forest stewardship, with plans to amplify and donate to different conservation nonprofits year round. For their launch, a portion of proceeds from the next 10 days will benefit Friends of the Columbia Gorge, a partner of Earth Day Oregon.

FG&CO’s online shop launches with a curated selection of limited-edition collaborations, including:

~ Forest Floor-inspired apparel designed by Chef Shota Nakajima, current contestant on Bravo Top Chef Season 18 and avid forager
~ “Breakfast in the Woods” loose leaf tea by Smith Teamaker with chef collaborator Karl Holl - Roasted green tea with sweet Candy Cap mushrooms, Turkey Tail mushrooms, Douglas Fir tips, and wild harvested blackberry leaf tips
~ “Forager Fuel” medium roast, ethically grown coffee from Trailhead Coffee Roasters
~ DEME Medicinal Mushroom Cacao mix

New products will be released regularly throughout the year in partnership with fellow foragers and other premium like-minded brands, including Edgevale and Gerber.

FG&CO will share recipes, resources and inspiring content for every season, created by Chef Holl and a community of contributors -- chefs with a passion for foraging and foragers with a passion for cooking.
