Reflecting on the Lessons of Barley this Tu B'Shvat

Last night, I had the honor of being one of the speakers at a very special Tu B’Shvat seder dinner at Urban Adamah, a Jewish urban farm in Berkeley. I had the task of speaking about barley, one of the seven sacred Biblical species. As I dove into researching this humble grain, I learned that it has many lessons to teach us.

The Nourish Co. Heirlooms Shop is Here!

To me, ritual objects are family heirlooms. And family heirlooms are not mass produced and sold in big box stores. They are made with materials that withstand the test of time and/or patina over time. Heirlooms are elegantly timeless. I’ve had countless conversations with friends about the absence of objects like these on the market today. And when I couldn’t find them, I decided to collaborate with my favorite artisans to create my own line.
