Who took the photographs on this site, and under what licence we are allowed to publish them.

We are building a photographic record of our own farms, drying lines, and packing floor. Until that work is finished, some pages here use openly-licensed photographs taken by other people, credited below as their licences require.

None of the photographs in the first table below were taken at our facility. They illustrate the crop and the region, not our operation. Each one is replaced as our own photography comes in. If you are assessing us as a supplier and want to see the actual farm, kilns, or a specific lot, ask and we will send current pictures or arrange an origin visit.
