Before anything could be stored or used, it had to be worked—cut, crushed, pressed, or strained by hand.

Preparation Tools gathers the quiet instruments of that labor: mortar and pestle, grinders, presses, strainers, and the small implements that turn nature's bounty into something useful. These are not gadgets for show, but tools meant to be used—sturdy, simple, and built to do their work without fuss.

In capable hands, they bridge the gap between harvest and remedy, giving form to what the garden provides.
