About

Years ago, after returning from a winter of WWOOFing in Hawai‘i, I visited my late grandmother to show her photographs from my time away; the farm I tended, the projects I poured myself into, the skills I learned with my hands.

As we sat together, I felt the tether between our resourceful, curious hearts. I felt proud of that connection, while also sensing the quiet weight of my lineage. I loved watching her face light up, her gasps at the vegetables I grew, the lemons hanging heavy on their branches, my red-dirt-stained feet reminiscent of the island she was born on. I told her how I learned to process pigs, render deer fat into soap, bake black forest cakes with fresh cacao, and make mulberry jam from fruit we gathered ourselves.

After witnessing her joy, she surprised me.
“Emily,” she asked gently, “why? Why work so hard? Don’t you know you can just buy those things from the store now?”

She was right. Modernity embraces convenience. Everything is a click away.

But I longed for more.

I felt a bone-deep desire to create with intention. To grow something, to tend it, to offer my energy into it, and then give it back.
“It feels good to do it,” I told her.

After that trip, I visited my grandparents as often as I could. I carried both regret for the years I hadn’t spent learning from them, and deep gratitude for the stories and fire they continued to kindle in me as I walked my path of self-sufficiency and tradition-keeping.

They have since passed. I miss them dearly. I wish every day I had asked more questions. And yet, I know their wisdom lives within me. I feel it when I gather plants in the woods, when I press seeds into soil, when I filet a fish I’ve caught with my own hands.

I believe this wisdom resides in all of us… waiting to be remembered and tended. We cannot go back in time, but we can reclaim what was always ours by learning, practicing, and embodying traditional skills. This knowledge is an inheritance carried in our blood.

Inherit is the culmination of everything that lights me up: women’s wellness, herbal medicine, community, skill-sharing, and ceremony. It has been a prayer I’ve carried for over a decade, and I am honored to finally bring it into the world.

Every product, service, course, and offering is created with the deepest intention — to bring warmth, nourishment, and healing.

From my heart to yours,
Emily
