“Growing up in the Polish countryside, I learned from my grandmother the benefits of wild foraging and home gardening. My love for natural ingredients and traditional recipes continued when I moved to Ireland ten years ago, where I was inspired by the stunning landscapes and the local food producers. With a background in cultural anthropology and ethnography, I combine my knowledge of traditional practices with my passion for culinary arts and gardening to create unique and delicious products. My products are crafted with care, using only the finest organic and wild-harvested ingredients. With a deep respect for nature and tradition, I strive to create products that nourish both body and soul. Sage and Lovage offers a range of handcrafted, natural products inspired by the traditions of herbalism and the beauty of Connemara.”
