Here at Wild Sage Coffee and Kitchen we really value supporting local and like to incorporate as much organic as possible and Peter Halvorson helps us meet our needs with his own farm EATMOGREENS. We try our best here to stay local and promote local as much as possible so we can all grow together and help each other out.

Q and A with peter owner of EATMOGREENS:

What is your mission and why organic?

EATMOGREENS is my business name. It's my mantra. It's a remind...

We got some fresh new items that bring a perfect blend of summery ingredients in some fresh new menu items. We have our summer peach salad. This is one of the most popular of the new arrivals on the summer menu and its for a reason. It has the perfect balance of sweet and savory. You have the sweetness from the peaches and candied walnuts. Then you have the savory aspect of the salad which is the goat cheese which is basically the glue that pulls all these...

Hey everyone come check out our revamped patio space. Our patio area has had a minor face lift and would love to be utilized more by guests. It is cozy and you can check out the pallet garden we have started. As well as taking in the wild sage details of the patio area we incorporated such as the teal and copper pallet benches accompanied with copper finishes. We have also added some décor and opened the area up a little more with added seating. This patio...

Hello you might be seeing a new face around the café from time to time. I am Evan Gromlich a senior from Kutztown University and the intern for the café. I came in a few months ago as a normal customer and was head over heels about Wild Sage because I plan to open a place of my own someday and this café captured my exact image of what I want in my future. So I am interning shadowing Jess to see what all goes into running a small business as well as helping...

Wild Sage now has some new paintings to show off the talent of local artist Amber Foote

Q&A with artist Amber Foote

If you’ve been into Wild Sage lately, you may have noticed some extra eyes staring at you (or perhaps ignoring you). Amber Foote’s enticing collection of bird paintings gives a whole new meaning to the expression “bird’s-eye view,” and we wanted to learn more! We loved hearing her unique perspective of Berks County, and the people who live her...

We just turned 1 today.  Its been an exciting journey!

Our Values:

Community: We value relationships and diversity. By providing a meeting place for our patrons and fostering sustainable living by partnering with local providers and farms, we aim to build a community that comes together to celebrate all of life’s moments, from the big events (check out our catering options!) to the daily rituals that keep us moving.  We believe that the best way for individ...

April showers, and intermittent Berks county snow storms, taxes, and Spring cleaning bring….the need for a healthy work life balance, which seems to be as elusive as the consistent Spring temperatures we’re longing for.

Too often, feeding ourselves doesn’t even make an appearance on our to-do lists, it’s just an added thing that we do, like breathing or blinking, on our way to doing something else. It can be tempting on the busy days to neglect our nutritio...

For most of us (of a certain age) growing up here in Berks county, Turmeric was only known (if it was known) as what turned our processed mustard yellow. Yet, on the other side of the world,  an ancient Indian medicine practice (still popular today), called Ayurveda, has long made use of turmeric to improve immune health, help relieve pain, aid in digestion, as well as protect against the biggies like diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and yes, even cancer.

As with al...
