Our Heritage

A slower way of living, carried forward.

Rooted in 1903. Made for how you live now.

In 1903, Janet McKenzie Hill opened her Summer School of Cookery on this land in the White Mountains of New Hampshire — and women came from across the country to spend their summers here, learning to cook by season, tending the garden, and leaving richer than when they arrived.

That spirit is what Topo Pino carries forward. Hand-poured candles, paper goods, and seasonal objects created by a mother and daughter, one season at a time.

Summer School of Cookery, 1903 — where our story began.

What began on this porch continues in every season we share.

The Garden

A working cutting garden in the White Mountains, grown season by season and observed closely.

What begins here often finds its way into Topo Pino — through color, scent, photography, Field Notes, bouquets, and the objects we make.
