PRODUCT LOCATIONS &
GUEST SPEAKER INFORMATION

Plants and goods for long-term, everyday use.

The plant offerings focus on fruit trees and complementary guild plantings, as used in permaculture and food forest systems. We also provide annual plants with proven health benefits, such as tangerine tomatoes, Asian purple sweet potato slips, and Chinese Pink Celery amongst other curated varieties. These are selected with the understanding that plants do better in relationship to one another, and so do we.

Also available:

  • Alpha-gal friendly laundry soap, made without mammalian-derived ingredients
  • Hand-illustrated greeting cards, including:
    • Traditional Gnomes for the holidays & springtime
    • Pen and ink animal illustrations
    • Mixed media graphite work (cats, books, and hot drinks)
    • Garden photography
    • Seasonal and winter holiday cards

Winter months on the farmstead are quieter. When the greenhouse rests, that time shifts toward drawing, study and preparation for the spring, and creating small-batch production laundry soaps and hand-crafted goods in the studio.

Sartoria Health & wellbeing

AN OLD-SCHOOL, ANALOG
& IN PERSON WELLNESS PROGRAM

Tailored health support grounded in lifestyle medicine.

This work is built around The Sartoria Health & Wellbeing Program, a method to approach lifestyle change in a 12-week, in-person and correspondence-based program designed for small groups that meet weekly or bi-weekly. Anyone interested can participate, although those who may find the most benefit are experiencing one, or more, chronic health conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes.

It brings together:

  • The six pillars of lifestyle medicine:
    • Food & nourishment
    • Physical activity
    • Sleep
    • Stress management
    • Social connection
    • Avoidance of risky substances

Rather than moving quickly or relying on digital tools, the structure is intentionally slower. Participants meet in person and receive mailed letters every two weeks.

We move towards our individuals goals together, at the speed of life.
