The Year was 2020…

Lisa and Antoinette found themselves at a crossroads, both were burnt out from long restaurant hours. Chef Lisa and manager Antoinette still felt creative and energized in the kitchen. Creating more intentional dishes using herbs and vegetables composing beautiful, healthy plates. Antoinette enrolled in herbalism courses while Lisa immersed herself in her personal garden, all the while in lockdown in their homes. One day Antoinette looked out her front window and saw a huge Ginkgo tree drop all his leaves over an afternoon. Learning about its extensive history and the health benefits associated with the Ginkgo species, alas, Ginkgo Goods was born.
