Hot Homesteader

























ABOUT
Like a backwood's prepper pantry we bring you the early California edibles. Those plants that were brought settlers, eaten by indigenous or easily naturalized in our wildly warm climate. Agaves + a leafy canopy dripping fruit: figs, currants, wild grape, intensely spicy bay leaves. Yeah, you could make this your backyard.
