This reminded me of one of my favorite plants here on the east coast, Indian Pipe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropa_uniflora), and I never knew it had a western cousin until now.

I have a number of natural items from northern California: small dry pine cones, granite rocks, a dried piece of lichen. I also have a poster of the John Muir Wilderness (near Chickenfoot Lake) and the Grand Canyon, as well as photos of me hiking in Yosemite and before my Mt. Shasta climb.

Comment on White Sage Harvest by Hall Newbegin

That’s true that many “White Sage” or “Sacred Sage” smudges are, in fact, are Sagebrush (Artemesia tridentata) and not White Sage (Salvia apiana). White Sage and Sagebrush are totally unrelated – true sages are in the mint family, whereas Artemesias are in the sunflower family. But you do see a lot of true White Sage smudges sold in tourist towns throughout the West. They aren’t locally gathered, obviously, but come from one of the big wholesale suppliers of White Sage smudges. As far as smudging with Artemesias, there’s no history of native americans burning sagebrush (artemesia tridentata) for incense either – or at least that I can find.

Great info on White Sage. I had no idea it’s range was so small. Too bad about the $#$%!!! bulldozers. Can white sage be successfully transplanted?
Peace,

I did a search on google for white sage, found your website, ordered a lb of clusters. Very pleased. I live in central KY. no sage here. And any I’ve found just can’t compare.
Thank you for you time.
Dennis Hagan.

Hi, Just wanted to say thanks for the pics. Being a former california resident I really appreciated the sweet reminder of days gone by. I just happened upon your website while doing some christmas shopping last year and decided to give your products a try. Wow!! What a pleasant surprise. You’ll be seeing my name in your order book again soon.
Congrats on a job well done!!!!!!

What a delightful and refreshing idea. I really enjoyed the photos, and am so thrilled at your continuing success. My husband and I are both native plant enthusiasts. There’s only one bar of you soap left to open. We’ll be knocking at your door soon, I’m sure.
Thank you
Jann

Hi – the photos are beautiful. This adds tons of “validation” to your company and that you “the company” are real! This was a great idea. I haven’t ordered any of your products in a couple of years. I’ve not had a lot of extra money due to being downsized after 9/11 (didn’t happen until a year after 9/11) and moving to a small town and being unemployed for a while. I’m just now starting to get back on my feet.
I loved the products that I ordered a long time ago. I hope my income continues to grow so I can spend some additional money on my friends and myself.
I’m happy to see that you have been successful with your dream and that you continue to add employees. My hat is off to you and your employees!
I look forward to the time I can place my next order! Great products and great service!!
Thanks. Keep up the great work!

Agghh! Why did I ever leave the land of milk and honey??!! What the heck was I thinking?!
I’m supposedly studying natural medicine, but these days that means sitting in front of the keyboard ad nauseam, in between learning to crack backs and suture pig feet. When I’d rather be hanging with the Juniper trees and chilling on Stinson Beach.
Thanks, Hall, for putting a little nature back in this naturopath’s day.

Thanks for the awesome pictures – makes me want to turn off my computer and hit the trails. Too bad it’s a work day and I’m stuck from 9 to 5! Maybe Saturday…
