THE FINAL DAYS OF THIS YEAR'S SAGE HARVEST

That time has come again, when we say goodbye to Spring and hello to Summer. In Juniper Ridge's world, that means we turn our attention from wildcrafting coastal sage in the mountains of central California and begin thinking about conifer harvesting in the high country. Josh, one of our senior distillers, shot this gorgeous shot on the way back to camp after a day of sage harvesting in the hills just south of Big Sur. We will be posting some stories, exclusive photos and news from our community here, at THE WILDCRAFTER, once a week. Thank you for subscribing.

"Plants and wilderness are the spiritual core of Juniper Ridge. When I'm struggling or feeling lost, I hit the trail and am reminded of the bigger thing: wildness itself. That’s the thread I’ve followed my whole life—in business, in my free time, with my family—and it’s the thing that always sets me right again. I think everyone needs to be part of something bigger than themselves to tame the anxieties and feel whole again. I’m sure religion does that for some folks. Wilderness is my church and the trail is my ritual." - Hall Newbegin, founder of Juniper Ridge

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY FROM WINTER SESSION & JUNIPER RIDGE

From the Winter Session website: "The intrepid team at Oakland, CA-based Juniper Ridge ventures into the wilds of the West to harvest 100% natural essences. From craggy hills, steep ravines and deep canyons, they cull botanical materials and fragrances to handcraft small batches of personal and home products bursting with life. We've partnered with Juniper Ridge to pair our waxed canvas Dopp Kit (not regularly available until July) with select Juniper Ridge sundries. "
