A former wine maker + a neuroscientist. A shared passion for food that evokes
far off places through the magical layering of aromas.
It took an intrepid crew
to transform the smell of desert after a thunderstorm
into a snack.

Summer in Tofino, BC. An early morning walk from the beach at Cox Bay back to the car: ocean funk, surf wax, wet neoprene, morning rain, moss, and spruce.

Sitting on the outdoor terrace of an old teahouse in the mountains of Taiwan. Steam rising from the cast iron kettle simmering over charcoal. Damp tea leaves. A cool mist. Aroma of roast meats and brown sugar boba wafting from the street market below.

The smell of late October, just before dusk in Michigan. The sweet earthy smell of fallen leaves waft through crisp cool air. The faint smoke from distant first fires of the season rising from chimneys.

The village in Messinia, Greece, where my family is from, it's winter and the sweet smell of burning olive wood on the fire is in the air.

My Nana’s garden, overflowing with roses, orchids, fuchsia and daphne. My love of nature and flowers definitely began there.
About Our New Mexico Estate-Grown Pecans
