Summer is here and the time is right to get in the water! The remote Siskiyou mountains of Northern California are perfect for long days of escaping the heat in cool mountain lakes and winding forest rivers. Can't get there right now? Check out our Siskiyou products for a quick dose of these forests. All of our Siskiyou products are made with real plants, bark, moss and other things found hiking this rugged backcountry.
Juniper Ridge is capturing potent gems that give us both a wide-angle and a close-up of the natural world. At first they shock and tingle my (city) system; however as they settle, and particularly when the solid perfume warms up on the skin there is a subtlety that comes alive, the kind that keeps me bringing my wrist to my nose most of the day for a lingering sniff. I am tickled that the solid perfume is easily portable, and all dressed up in its vintage re-purposed tin.There is nothing like connecting to nature, if we take the time to do it and to notice. Thanks for doing and noticing Juniper Ridge.CLICK TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE HERE
Juniper Ridge Big Sur Cabin Spray, $65
Visitors of Big Sur often say it is the closest they’ve gotten to finding religion. We are equally ecstatic about Juniper Ridge’s room spray, billed as “Big Sur in a bottle” by the Oakland-based fragrance house–the only one in the world producing 100% plant-based scents. Made of bark, moss, and mushroom found and harvested while hiking on location, spritz your bedroom for pure Pacific Coast manna.
We were very pleased to learn that our Douglas Fir Wildcrafted Tea is one of Cabin Porn's essential supplies. Of course we hang out at this website, when we are not actually on the trail. Check out the glass tepee, by architect Mickey Muennig in Big Sur. Yes please.

It doesn’t take a genius to realize there’s a lot of crap and chemicals in the soaps and other grooming products you find on your local drugstore’s shelves. But how can you avoid buying said products without completely going out of your way to find them? As you’re reading this, you could be online shopping the best natural brands without leaving your house. And when it comes to natural brands, Juniper Ridge is the best of the best.
So what makes this California company stand out from the rest? Juniper Ridge is the only brand in the world extracting and formulating plant-based fragrances. They have a team of adventurers who travel to the mountains, harvest wild plants and distill natural fragrances, all under the big blue sky and back at their Oakland, CA workshop. Each product is labeled with a harvest number that tells a story – where it was gathered, what was the temperature outside, did it rain that day? Sounds pretty cool, yeah? All Juniper Ridge‘s soaps smell really great, but we love the Big Sur Trail Crew Soap. Made with no nasties, it will make your inner-city shower feel like the California wilderness. Lather up for $35 at juniperridge.com.
