The Hearth & Harvest Story
Founded by culinary visionary Elara Vance, Hearth & Harvest Provisions blossomed from a deep-seated passion for the art of food. With years of experience as a professional chef and food stylist, Elara envisioned a space where the beauty and joy of cooking could be shared and celebrated through high-quality visual and editorial content. From her earliest days experimenting in her grandmother's kitchen to helming bustling restaurant lines, food has always been Elara's language of creativity and connection.
Our journey began with a simple belief: that every dish tells a story, and every ingredient has a voice. We moved from a small home studio to our current spacious setup in Portland, OR, expanding our capabilities to include a fully equipped test kitchen, photography studio, and a dedicated team of culinary experts. This growth has allowed us to serve a diverse clientele, from emerging food brands to established publishers, all seeking to bring their culinary visions to life.
