Trufflin' is always an adventure. We avoided this location for the past month due to a high volume of toxic mushrooms. Now we are back out there finding Oregon white truffles together!

Just doing what we love 🐾❤️
Black truffles for dinner.

What should we make?
Burgers...pizza...Mac & cheese...risotto?

A white Border Collie oversees the harvest of a truffle she led her handler to. The truffle is resting in the handler's palm. A tri-color Border Collie smells the ground intently, pinpointing exactly where a truffle can be found under the grassy surface.

❄️ Snow in the PNW forecast! While locals might groan, this truffle hunter is delighted. Snow acts like nature's blanket, protecting truffles from deep freezes while letting them experience that perfect cold snap for peak quality. Alaska-born me loves it twice as much! 🍄
