Every item in this shop is something I've used, vetted, or made with people I trust — rooted in the land, the plants, and the places that make this state worth caring about.
WHAT WE SELL
Native plants, field gear, and goods from makers who give a damn about the land.
WHO WE ARE
A Texas naturalist and storyteller — not a retailer. Every product recommendation comes with a purpose.
WHY IT MATTERS

》 WHY THESE PRODUCTS
I Don't Sell Anything I Wouldn't Buy Myself
I've spent years walking through Texas landscapes trying to understand what makes this place work — ecologically, culturally, spiritually. The products in this shop aren't merch. They're extensions of that inquiry.
CatSpring Yaupon is the clearest example. It's a native Texas holly that Indigenous peoples have used for centuries, one of the only caffeinated plants native to North America, and it's grown a mile from the Hill Country watershed. When you buy it, you're supporting a regenerative farm and drinking something with a story that actually belongs here.
That's the standard I hold everything else to.

IN THE FIELD NOTES
"Yaupon's resilience isn't just ecological — it's a metaphor for what Texas can be when we stop ignoring what was already here."
