The people behind the preparations
-
We're a chef and a community gardener who got our start as urban farmers and foragers in NYC. With over a decade of collaboration, and some global exploration, we've created a variety of small batch artisanal goods and herbal products, with a passion for understanding the rhythms of nature.

A: The herb that most changed my life would probably be wild carrot. At a time where you can feel so vulnerable, this herb is so comforting. It made me believe in the power of herbalism to alter your trajectory.
B: Mugwort, it may have saved my life!

The chef's passion for food, herbals, and spices began long ago with a fascination with cooking that runs deep through his entire family. He continues to experiment, constantly harvesting and tasting the wild and cultivated fruits the land has to offer.
The gardener suffered chronic pain and looked for answers outside the medical system, hoping to find another way to manage the condition. She ended up pain free and more aware of her body.
Together, we are trying to do our part to make this world more just and more kind, with our community living a high quality of life. We move with careful action towards our goals of community care.
