Chef Madden of our new restaurant "The Quilted Pig" at Rosario Resort enjoys putting fun twists on classic dishes as well as creating innovative new cuisine ideas using locally grown, seasonal foods. “Working closely with local farmers is paramount to my business. It insures that we are using goods produced organically, sustainably, safely and humanly. The products raised and grown in the San Juan Islands are world class in quality and we are lucky to have them available right next door.”

Great Blue Heron
A Great Blue Heron, the largest heron in North America, patiently waits for a meal along the shore of Orcas Island at Rosario Resort. It is very common to see the herons standing silently along the shore, waiting for a fish to come by, which they then strike with their bills.
