maker

the hands, the patience, and the craft behind.

|

we work with a small circle of growers.
each one with a place.
a rhythm.
and a way of tending that does not rush flavour.

here are the makers we work with.
each card leads to their story.
their field.
and the character of the harvest they shaped.

different places.
different practices.
one quiet standard of care.
