Life on the Trail

Climbing Junipero Serra Peak over the warm wildflower hills of #BigSur. #Lifeonthetrail

California Juniper oil, freshly distilled less than a week after harvest. It smells divine - like the sun, the earth and the wind. #nofakefragrance #mountainsinabottle

Up on Mount Tam yesterday, just north of #SanFrancisco, the inspiration for our #SteepRavine fragrance blend. #nofakefragrance #mountainsinabottle #lifeonthetrail

The lupine fields of #BigSur. These little guys are still blooming. #thehuntforwildflowers #lifeonthetrail

#FieldLab van is back home for a second, then going right back out to #BigSur. Working on a new #harvest. #nofakefragrance

Hitting the road, thankgod. #FieldLabVan @juniperridge

It’s still Spring, that means we are still out harvesting in the sage fields of Coastal California. #wildcrafting #anotherdayattheoffice #nofakefragrance

Happy Mothers’ Day from the #Siskiyou mountains of Northern California. #lifeonthetrail

With a grand hiss, the machine comes to life! The inaugural run of our new steam-powered, fragrance still. Now, extracting the fragrance from 700 pounds of sustainably harvested, wild Coastal Sage in one run. It is a great day. #nofakefeagrance #mountainsinabottle.

#Siskiyou sunrise. Hello from the world’s conifer capital. #lifeonthetrail

Hiking near the falls on the swollen McCloud river, late Spring 2013. This is where #Siskiyou #nofakefragrance is born. #lifeonthetrail

Our founder, Hall Newbegin. Picture by @huckberry go to huckberry.com to read about their trip to our warehouse, and get some good deals on our stuff. #nofakefragrance #mountainsinabottle

Despite the dry Spring, our state flower is still going off in central California. #lifeonthetrail #poppy

#Wildcrafting. South of #BigSur. Josh, our warehouse chief, snapped this one last night on the hike back to camp. #lifeonthetrail.

Meet Dan, our soap maker, master distiller and great guy to go camping with. Last week was a big triumph for Dan & Juniper Ridge: he got our new, giant, essential oil still working. Thank you Dan! #nofakefragrance #mountainsinabottle

Warm days in the San Rafael Wilderness. #lifeonthetrail

Owl Clover bloom over the ridge from #BigSur. #lifeonthetrail

Fresh infusion of Hummingbird Sage, just harvested and extracted today from Big Sur. You can still smell the sunshine. Formulating our new seasonal fragrance. #mountainsinabottle #nofakefragrance

New to the library, these beautiful, vintage #SierraClub Bulletins from 1960. What a great surprise! thank you @kitkitdizzi

A good portion of our company hiking #MtTam. #lifeonthetrail The company that plays together…

(from JR founder Hall) My daughter Jane climbed her first 10k+ foot mountain today. She just turned eight, and i swear, I didn’t make her do it- I tried to get her to turn around, she couldnt be stopped! Chip off the old block, I’m so proud of that girl.

Headed up #CaruthersCanyon. See you on the other side. #lifeonthetrail #hadtogetout

We’re unloading and reloading the essential oil still on a Sunday morning. Can’t let these Springtime plants dry up. #nofakefragrance #mountainsinabottle

#millvalleyvibe April 15 is tomato day, not tax day, get those tomatoes in the ground for summer harvest. Go for Italian-style staking, (don’t cage your tomatoes, yields watery / bland / late tomatoes) + dry farm / minimal watering- you will get much, much more flavorful fruit and a longer harvesting season using these methods- yum yum yum!
