T. S. Eliot writes that we travel the world in search of what we need, only to find it waiting for us at home. For me, this is what our Sage Subscription Box is all about. After a year of searching for the most beautiful ingredients on earth to fill our boxes—traveling from Japan to the Kingdom of Bhutan—this Spring, we have returned home.
I have been unwilling to travel much because my sweet dog, Freeway, has been undergoing cancer treatment. Instead, I’ve been spending time at my hilltop Los Angeles home, in the garden, seeing things with fresh eyes, noticing scents in new ways, and experiencing flavors with a renewed palate.
The Goat Shed sits at the bottom of my orchard. It is where we first started hand-mixing Soap, collecting seeds, and building an apothecary.
A few lifetimes ago, the whole area used to be a goat farm, where animals once roamed the entire valley. The little wooden house was the original shepherd’s hut. Today, it remains the most important place on the Estate. A gathering place for the Garden team, where we dry herbs, harvest fruit, and share ideas.
This was the inspiration for our Sage Subscription Box: a love letter to our spring harvest, with ingredients that return us to our origins. A collection of products that capture the rituals, flavors, textures, and tantalizing smells that have lived in our Garden long before we arrived. A tribute to the place I cherish with my whole heart.
There is no place like home.
