New Product Line! Our new project, the Oregon Coast Made Homestead Collection, is homebaked cottage foods, farm-direct garden herbs and fruits, and personal care made by us from our on-site biodiverse homestead gardens and kitchen.
We're also introducing the Handmade Gift Basket: a sustainably-packaged sampler of handmade products with advance delivery scheduling and more.
We've always believed there is strength in diversity, and in following our passions. Our passions these days are in gardening and enjoying the rural life, making handcrafted creations in our workshop that get sent around the globe.
This collection started, in a nutshell, with an ask from a friend. She wanted a special gift for her mother living locally and asked if we'd put together a gift basket of our various garden and home creations. The result was our first Handmade Gift Basket.
The gift recipient loved it so much she ordered another one for her friend in Iowa! And so our journey began into this new collection of all the things we love to make for ourselves and our friends, now available for you, too.
Introducing the Homestead Collection: Garden-Grown Fruit Snacks and Herbal Teas, Homebaked Granola and Instant Oats, Sachets, Balms and Salves
We've developed a full collection of products in the new Homestead Collection:
- Nuts & Seeds Granola (our daily morning protein light breakfast, based on the Tassajara recipe)
- Instant Oatmeal packets (made from whole ingredients: a favorite gift of our family members for years!)
- Herbal Teas (from our garden)
- Dried and Freeze-Dried Fruit (from our garden)
- Balms / Salves
- Sachets
What these products have in common is the same attention to detail and quality you expect from the family at Walnut Studiolo. Whether we're cutting leather or slicing pears, we bring the same attention and love to our work.
Our homebaked products have seasonal flavors and are limited to the harvest, prepared by licensed food handlers (us!) in our home under the Oregon Cottage Foods and Farm Direct laws.
These unique offerings are available direct to customers in the US only.

From a Sustainable Homestead
Our Homestead Collection and Handmade Gift Baskets offer product sustainability features:
- Biodegradable product and packaging
- No plastic packaging
- Plant-based and vegan options
- Garden-grown using organic methods and preserved fresh from the harvest
In addition to product sustainability, support of these products has wider-reaching beneficial impacts on the environment and small-business economy. Our on-site gardens came about from moving our small business to rural country in 2016. Since moving here, we've applied regenerative practices to the land, creating biodiversity for pollinators, insects, and wildlife.
