ABOUT THE BRAND

Our Story

Throughout history, families have benefited from the time-honored tradition of using the land to sustain them. Cultivating homegrown goods has a way of building community, encouraging hard work, and passing down life-long skills. Having the right equipment and instruction is essential to building this dream; this is where we would like to help. Roots & Harvest® delights in supporting this dream by supplying the necessary equipment for the urban homesteader to those fully living off the land. We love helping people discover and embrace skills such as bread-baking, cheese-making, canning, fermenting, meat bird raising and so many more. From home gardens to farmsteads Roots & Harvest® has the equipment, supplies, and knowledge you need. We’re excited for you to become part of the Roots & Harvest® family!.
