Saipua is olive oil soap and floristry company owned and run by Sarah Ryhanen and her mother Susan. Saipua made a name for itself through the dedication and hard work of many people since 2006 when it opened its first studio in Red Hook, Brooklyn. In 2017 we closed our city operation to focus on education and building the farm and Worlds End School of Thought Agriculture and Craft into a site for experimenting with different way we can live, work and be in relationship to each other and the physical world around us. There’s a lot we would like to change about the world! Here, in a remote agricultural project, we can tinker with change in real time.

Saipua still makes and sells a lot of beautiful olive oil soap and maintains a small and special floristry practice focused on teaching. The company is the primary economic engine for the world-building activities at the farm school.

The farm (Worlds End School of Thought, Agriculture & Craft) is located in Esperance, NY in the Mohawk Valley 30 miles west of Albany.

Yes! Please visit us! We are open to the public on Sundays from May-October from 1-4 and serve excellent preparations of our excess vegetables for lunch in the coyotecafe (donation only.) Every Sunday there is a farm tour at 2pm with farmer Mark.

Additionally you can volunteer for week long periods, staying and working and learning along side our residents, apprentices and students.

A Saipua TV membership gives you access to our library of video content. Each month, we release new videos. As a subscriber, you’ll be able to view each month’s new videos and access our complete video archive (as we build it).

Additionally, each month, Sarah will host an Ask Me Anything live video call with subscribers and is excited to answer any and all questions related to floristry, small business, communal living, farming, how to start a farm, etc.

The videos are either educational (walking you through how to make bread, make a floral arrangement with a specific kind of flower, use plants for medicinal tinctures, make martinis, keep up your bookkeeping, practice some basic yoga for florists and farmers, etc) or they are documentation of the land and farm and creatures and residents here.

We will add 2-3 videos each month. We are all working farmers plus one director/editor so we cannot produce an exact timeline. Some weeks here we plan to shoot nothing then suddenly baby lambs are born unexpectedly and we make a video to share the following week.
