Rare seeds and food forest mentorship 

For 18 years, I've lived in the rain shadow of the Eastern Sierra, building a life rooted in the 'old California' I've always loved. My roots are split between the San Francisco coast and a tiny European farming village, where I learned to observe how the wild asserts its own order on its own terms. Since 2021, I've been inviting that same untamed vitality into a high-desert food forest—a system that manages itself through ecological diversity, free from synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

As a grower and seed seller, I focus on the mavericks: rare heirlooms and California natives tempered by mountain extremes to thrive on their own terms. Whether I'm hand-collecting small-batch seeds or mentoring others to turn their own space into a resilient ecosystem, it's about more than just gardening; it's about growing food and habitat that works with nature, not against it.
