Carrot Pie Book

Carrot Pie is a visually rich, multi-generational celebration of food, family, and creativity from Sage Hill Ranch Gardens. This one-of-a-kind volume features 12 seasonal menus and recipes, paired with original artwork by Kay O’Rourke and photography by Lauren di Matteo, together capturing the color, rhythm, and soul of life on the farm. At its heart is a tender children’s story written by the author’s mother, weaving love, nature, and legacy through every page. It is an invitation to honor the bonds that connect families to one another and to the land they care for.

Rooted in a property first purchased in 1999, Carrot Pie grows from nearly two decades of gardens cultivated, meals shared, and farm animals tended—years of gathering, hospitality, and hands-on stewardship that shaped how the land was understood and cared for. In 2017, that lived experience evolved into the dedicated vision of founder Spencer Rudolph, whose commitment to regenerative farming and community support brought Sage Hill Gardens to life.

Equal parts cookbook, art book, and storybook, Carrot Pie is a tribute to growth, imagination, and the beauty of shared creation.
