About Us

We are Garrett and Kira Lathrop of Plain Jane’s.  Plain Jane’s was birthed as a reflection of Garrett and Kira’s love for the Alaskan wilderness.  In 2019 they moved to Alaska and brought with them a lifelong love of the outdoors.  Little did they know how deeply they would fall in love with the hunt for mushrooms, berries and other foragables. 

Garrett grew up in South Dakota and Kira in Missouri both enjoyed the outdoors throughout their childhood.   Garrett and Kira bonded over a love of the outdoors in South Dakota that led to their adventure moving to Alaska. 

Foraging is much more than a hobby or another day in the office, it can feel like a sacred experience where Garrett and Kira find solace.  When they make it back to the kitchen they go on a creative journey together to experiment, blend and refine products

While they both work in other industries, their time harvesting in the woods is their true passion.   Plain Jane’s hopes with every bite you are transported to the forest.  Great care is given to each product to craft items with minimal ingredients to emphasize the natural beauty and savory flavors of what is foraged in the woods.  At Plain Jane’s we celebrate the idea that less can be more, offering products that are straight forward yet deeply connected to nature’s offerings.

When Garrett and Kira are not in the woods foraging you can find them on the boat fishing, checking shrimp pots, going on road trips, camping and spending time with family and friends.
