Grounded experiences, locally grown
The Sage Local
Grounded experiences that feed the soul: skill-sharing workshops, hands-on dinners, gatherings under the moon, and food grown close to home.
About
Grown from a love of food, farms, and gathering.
The Sage Local is the home of chef Lainie Clary’s gatherings: a world of grounded experiences rooted in small-scale organic farming, seasonal eating, and connection over a beautiful meal. Everything we do supports small local farmers, connects people to where their food comes from, and embraces eating with the seasons.
Through monthly skill exchanges, extended-stay camps, moon gatherings, a mobile market, and unforgettable dinners, we build real-life connection around food that nourishes, satisfies, and quietly elevates.
