The GOODS from Bodega Ridge

Galiano Island, BC | Bodega Ridge is excited to announce that we have a new chef on board for 2013. Originally from Winnipeg, Jesse McCleery began his culinary career at the age of 15 working in some of that city’s finest kitchens. Moving to British Columbia in 2000, Jesse has since worked in some of the province’s top restaurants and resorts. Having spent a combined five seasons in Clayoquot Sound and the Great Bear Rainforest, he has developed a deep respect for the coastal waters and forests. At Bodega Ridge, Chef McCleery grounds himself in our time and region, where Galiano Island is reflected in our farm to table, forest and ocean cuisine. The kitchen and dining facility at Bodega Ridge will maintain its focus on special events, retreats and weddings while offering guests breakfast service several days a week. Stay tuned for news on special dinners featuring Galiano-grown ingredients, both wild and sourced from our ever-growing community of local farmers.
