we are devoted to growing + working with herbs & traditional craft in an earth honouring way
we aspire to create botanical goods + textiles ecologically with a focus on keeping folk skills alive & crafting with love + respect for Mother Earth
hello, we are Sári & Kem, two small farmers committed to stewardship and nurturing a future of well-being, ecological abundance and beauty for all species. we live with unceded Gumbaynggirr Country and honour the Gumbaynggirr Peoples unbroken and ongoing connection and sovereignty within this land.
small farming + herbalism is a way for us to nurture biodiversity and landscape + community health. we tend diverse medicinal plants on less than 2 acres of production under agroecological + organic farming practices. our herbs are grown in a loved and healthy landscape surrounded by sub-tropical rainforest which we also steward and tend.
our woven textiles are hand made with natural and recycled materials on a floor loom. weaving is a way for us to practice ancestral skills, create ethical garments + textile art and foster experience in the agrarian, mythic craft of connecting warp and weft.
through exploring how to live in reciprocity with land and produce what we + our community needs in a restorative way, we aspire to repair our shared environment and re-establish relationships of care with our more-than-human world. the soil. the waters. seeds. trees. fruit. root. the life gifting nature which we all belong to.
place-based living + human scale making are ways we are responding to contemporary, intersecting crises. it’s how we turn our grief about capitalism, climate change and colonial culture into pro-activism. community herbalism is how we practice making the privilege of herbal knowledge + training, land access & growing skills, beneficial to the wider ecosystem of care.
although we focus on herbal support, we believe everyone should have access to the health + community care they feel most supported by. we love science, and evidence based herbalism, whilst recognising that there are multiple forms of valid knowledge systems outside of western epistemologies. we honour the pagan, magic and ancestral dimensions of herbal medicine.
our farming, herbal and textile enterprise is rooted in a philosophy of care and environmental custodianship. we evoke the place-based mentality + ethics of our earth loving ancestors, as well as listening + learning from present day peasant, First Nations and traditional peoples around the world. landback, decolonisation, a revival of the commons and the flourishing of Indigenous culture is vital to our visions of a prosperous, just and thriving world.
from seed to skin + body, our herbal production focuses on high quality and potency. we harvest at peak vitality and our human scale processing ensure only the most vibrant botanical products make it to you. our packaging + shipping is 100% recyclable/compostable. we are a DIY business doing everything from sowing seeds, raising plants, harvesting, product making & packaging in-house, we do this so our herbal provisions can be more accessible + sustainable.
Our textiles are all slowly made by our hands, connecting one thread and warp at a time. Each piece is unique and we aspire to only work with natural + ethical fibres, and source local materials where possible. We weave AND SEW EVERYTHING OURSELVES.
we seek to build deep relationships with OUR LIVING WORLD while re-learning FADING SKILLS and giving back to our community + Gumbaynggirr Traditional Owners through mutual aid networks + paying the rent. we stand for food sovereignty, & ecological + herbal justice. IN PRACTICE, WE ARE imagining + working towards accessible herbalism + nutritious food for all (on a grassroots + policy level), re-practising environmental stewardship + hand skills so we may be in right relationship with Earth & building webs of solidarity across social + environmental movements.
