Our Heritage

A way of living shaped by season and place.

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 continues at Topo Pino through candles, linen, paper, Studio Editions, and seasonal releases rooted in place and made for life now.

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

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