Welcome to Juniper Ridge!

It’s an eventful time for us here at Makers Market. We’ve opened our first brick and mortar location in downtown San Francisco and our collective of artisans is steadily growing. We are getting ready for our Grand Opening Reception this Thursday the 27th from 5:30-7:30. There will be live acoustic guitar, refreshments, and best of all–many of our local makers will be in attendance. You’ll get to chat with old favorites like Alana Rivera of Etta + Billie, and jeweler Julie Cristello. You’ll also get to meet some of our newest makers including this week’s newest addition Juniper Ridge!

The Makers Market team has been a big fan of Juniper Ridge for quite some time. Juniper Ridge is based in Oakland, California. Their team goes on foraging adventures for plants in order to bring the scent of places such as Big Sur and the Mojave desert back to the home.

They say their company is built on the simple idea that nothing smells better than the forest and that the only way to bring this beauty home is to first strap on your boots and go there.

Every Juniper Ridge product has a harvest number stamped on it. Unlike synthetic fragrances, these wilderness perfumes are extracted from real, native-plant sources. Look up your product’s harvest number on their site to see photos of the plants and their fragrance extraction techniques.

According to Juniper Ridge “We crawl around in mountain meadows. We smell the wet earth beneath fir trees, and spend whiskey-fueled hours arguing over the scent of a wind sweeping over a glacier. We make our fragrances throughout the West, on dirt roads and trails, around campfires, and in our Oakland, California workshop. ” We like that.
