THE SUBSCRIPTION BOX
A SEASONAL BOX FROM MAINE
The farm, four times a year.
Five things we made by hand at Tops’l Farm — preserves, syrups, balms, botanicals — each named to its source, packed in a gift box and sent ahead of the season they belong to.
Ships December 5 · Shipping included · Limited each season
The Box
These are the things we make when the farm is quiet. Four times a year, we send a small run of them to people who want the farm in their kitchen between visits.
The Maine harvest arrives fast and all at once. Winter is when we turn inward and work with our hands in a different way — jams, syrups and balms, out of a new kitchen we spent a year building. Nothing in the box is curated in from elsewhere. Every item is made by us.
WHAT’S INSIDE
Five good things, not twelve adequate ones.
EAT · PRESERVE
A jam, garden jam or milk spread from the season’s fruit or vegetable.
EAT · POUR
A Simpler Syrup, tonic, infused honey or maple — something for a glass.
REST · HANDS
A balm or salve — Mitten Magic in winter, calendula in summer.
REST · EVENING
Bedtime Balm, a bath botanical, or a sleep preparation.
PLAY · HOUSE
A linen spray, a finishing salt etc — the seasonal wildcard.
The products change with the season. The shape of the box stays the same — something to eat, something to pour, something for your hands, something for evening, and one wildcard for the house.
This winter: Syrup, Jam, Mitten Magic, Bedtime Balm and a Winter Linen Spray.
Who made it, which farm it came from, how to enjoy it — and a Taste & Trace code.
A story card for every itemA note from SarahWhat the season was actually like here, written from the farm.
The seasonal essayA folded insert, sent to subscribers before it’s published anywhere else.
The season's manifestEverything in the box, listed by Eat, Rest and Play.
The Seasons
Arrives before the season does
Every box leads its season by two to four weeks — the linen spray before the windows open, the syrup before the porch is worth sitting on.
