Willowy wooded canes reach skyward from the banks of the sun-glinted creek. Jade leaves spread like fingers and palms extended, in equal measure of acceptance and offering. The wild elder, branch tips bowed with midnight-dark berries, has proffered its fruit for infusions of garnet richness.

Ginger’s slender stems and leaves stretch into the near-tropical heat of a summer greenhouse. Tender crown-like root lobes burrow and expand through the soil until mid autumn when they are gently dug. We process these Maine-grown roots fresh from a human-powered and organic certified farm.
