Mike and Sarah first met serving an AmeriCorps term with EarthCorps, a Seattle-based ecological restoration non-profit. While they were never on the same crew, their crews overlapped on a couple projects including a native planting project in Magnuson Park. While helping plant over 6,000 native plants, they first connected over their favorite tree; the western hemlock (genus Tsuga). Western Hemlock trees are a symbol of resilience, adaptability, and community. Tsuga seedlings are famous in the ecological community for thriving on downed trees, transforming decaying wood into new life. While they do this, their roots spread out into the forest floor, allowing them to stay strong and adapt their root system as the structure they’re built on crumbles. As their roots spread out, they become more and more intertwined with the surrounding ecosystem. They share nutrients and water, allowing them to survive drought and work together to create a resilent forest. Dubbed “nurse logs”, these natural nurseries can be found in any healthy forest with dozens and sometimes hundreds of hemlock seedlings working together, building off of the past to create a better future.
We envision a better tomorrow and we want to use this company to build it with you. While we met planting trees into stumps in Magnuson park, we connected over good coffee and drinks. That connection led to personal growth, a supportive friendship, and life changing conversations. While we may make cold brew, at the heart, our mission is and always will be connection.
