Creativity has always been a cornerstone of Emily's life and career. Deeply inspired by her Grandma and Mom—pioneers of the DIY lifestyle long before it became mainstream—Emily grew up in the vibrant community of Jackson Hole. She later moved to Santa Barbara, where her professional journey took shape through roles at Patagonia, Stewart + Brown, and Pierre Lafond. With a strong foundation in design, marketing, and apparel, Emily channeled her passion into creating E.R. Leather Goods, a brand featuring handcrafted bags and home décor that she continues to produce with care and artistry. Emily and her husband, Rob, also co-own DaFoe Wines in the charming wine region of Los Olivos, blending creativity and entrepreneurship in their shared ventures.

Carla is the owner and farmer of Elder Flat Farm. After graduating from LMU with a degree in Psychology and Communications she realized agriculture was her passion and shifted her focus to farming and food. With a deep passion for canning, she became a Certified Master Food Preserver from Cal Poly to teach her community about the abundance of resources in the community that can be used in so many ways. From fermenting, pickling, and drying she has a knowledge of growing and preserving every fruit and vegetable from A to Z! Toward the end of the pandemic she opened a retail Farm Shop in Los Alamos to support other local farmers and share specialty foods with her community.
