The natural textures inside her house reflect what's going on outside, where a large garden supplies Ramekins, the cooking school that Sarah and Darius, a developer and governmental studies professor at Berkeley, own in town. "We also keep bees all over the property, and I admire their tidy industry," Sarah says. Taking a cue from those busy creatures, she jars their honey and sells it at the cooking school.

Backyard
The taxidermied birds that adorn Sarah's home are echoed by the chirps and clucks of live ones: finches that brighten up the kitchen, and a flock of hens roosting in a backyard coop.
In this photo: Tyge feeds the family's chickens; the coop was built using wood reclaimed from a derelict shed on the property.
Vegetable Garden
The Andersons grow vegetables—cabbage, tomatoes, onions, and more—for their cooking school, Ramekins.
The Family
In this compelling house, Sarah has preserved more than late-1800s architecture. She's nurturing a slower way of life, growing her family's food, preparing meals from scratch, and honoring the history of useful objects. The very windows of the home provide the lens for her old-fashioned outlook: The glass has been melting down for the past century or so. During the renovation, Darius had pushed to replace them with more practical double panes, but Sarah fought to keep the originals. "I had to have that warped, wavery effect," she says. "It makes life appear so interesting."
In this photo: The couple elicits a laugh from Tyge. Their front stoop repurposes bricks from their home's original foundation.
