Jared Pickard

Jared Pickard is the founder of Be Here Farm & Nature, a biodynamic garden in Wimberley, Texas producing an award-winning collection of hand-made artisanal skincare. In his mid-twenties he walked off the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to take an unpaid farming apprenticeship in Georgia, later spending a decade developing an immersive farm-and-hospitality project on 300 acres in Napa-Sonoma wine country — a dream ended by the 2020 wildfires. He now grows the ingredients for his skincare collection and makes every product by hand, hosts luxury nature-and-wellness immersions around the world, and leads online study programs rooted in the teachings of Rudolf Steiner.
