About

If you haven't met us already, we are Rachel McMillan & Sarah Drew, and we are the faces behind the name and the McMillan & Drew Collective. 

We’re driven by a deep appreciation for the land, the seasons, and the quiet magic of things made with care. Our work is rooted in regeneration — restoring soil, nurturing plants, and honouring the natural cycles that give us flavour, colour and beauty.

Whether you’re a chef, mixologist, home cook, a gardener, or simply someone who loves thoughtful, beautiful food & objects, we hope our products bring a sense of connection — to nature, and to the quiet joy of tending and creating.
