Our hearts are with you community!
Trish, Robb, Regina and the rest of the Sage/Watershed Progressive family
Northern Mariposa & Tuolumne Counties!
We are super excited to roll out plant deliveries. Please visit our new website and check it out. https://mtsage.com/
Historic! Standing room only, unanimous approval on our permit. Thanks Tuolumne planning Commission and our dear neighborhood of endless support from you, the Mountain Sage Community! Your letters and outstanding presence was moving for all of us.
To many days in the garden!
Hugs,
Regina Robb and Noah!
The (we can do it!) Mountain Sage Fact Sheet:
Many people have asked for more information on what to say when they join us Feb. 19th and what to write in letters if they can't make it.
We put together a FACT SHEET to help you letters of support to: Ms. Quincy Yaley at: [email protected], and [email protected] and cc: us at [email protected]. Thanks!
The (we can do it!) Mountain Sage Fact Sheet:
What: Conditional Use Permitting (CUP) Approval, Tuolumne County Planning Commission
When: February 19th, 2020 6pm (doors 5:30)
Where: Board of Supervisors Chambers, Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors Chambers, Fourth Floor, 2 South Green Street, Sonora, CA 95370
Why: 1) To allow Mountain Sage to hold 10-14 concerts/amplified noise events per year (with noise and parking conditions agreed to by stipulations in the CUP); 2) To allow farmers markets to reconvene in the garden; 3) To hold small workshops and outdoor events; 4) To enhance the site for education/community services; 5) To bring nursery and outdoor café items up to code
What Can I SAY:
1) PERSONAL MEANING: What Mountain Sage events have meant to you in the past.
2) BUSINESS OR PERSONAL CONNECTION: How these events and location have helped you as a Tuolumne County neighbor, business owner, activist.
3) FAMILY-COMMUNITY ORIENTED: How the events were mild mannered, family oriented, community driven, for all ages and respectful.
4) ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE/DRAW: If outside of Tuolumne County, what the draw is for you to come to these events and spend money in Tuolumne County/Groveland.
5) HISTORIC COMMUNITY HUB: The importance of this community hub with farmers market, events, community information, music/arts integration, while highlighting the historic property to create a thriving and resilient Groveland/Tuolumne County/Sierra Nevada foothills for the future.
6) CREDIBLE OWNERS: Share information regarding the integrity of the owners (Robb/Regina) and their accomplishments in the last few years-if you know of any, that speak to the credibility that we can continue moving the site into an integral piece of the community/county/region if allowed.
7) LEGACY PROJECT: Remind them all that this is unique situation. This is the family’s Great Grandparents homestead (and for Noah, great-great!), a legacy of community that Mary Laveroni wanted and often attended, and Robb and Regina are committed to that vision, optimizing the special homestead to once again, bring community together.
Should I spread the word?
Please do, we are wanting to pack the Board Room!!! But, also please be respectful of the process and make sure to hit on the points that are written above without negative comments regarding why we were shut down. Thanks for helping us cultivate a respectful but committed audience. WOOHOO!
Greetings!
First of all, thanks for all the support regarding our Conditional Use Permit pending Feb. 19th. It looks like there are some misunderstandings in the news reporting of our permit. We are not undertaking any major expansion, only improving parking and the stage on the property which will enable us to resume our regular community events. These improvements will bring us into compliance as good neighbors while helping revitalize our historic downtown for locals and visitors alike.
Please join us Feb. 19th at 5:30 at the Board of Supervisors in Sonora to give a voice supporting to revive our garden events, workshops and Farmers Market.
Thanks all,
Robb, Regina, and Noah

Dear friends of Mountain Sage-
By now many of you are likely wondering about this summer's music series at Mountain Sage. Well, we have some good news and some not so good news. Everyone seems to prefer the latter first so here it is: we need to take this summer off from putting events on at Mountain Sage. We are currently working with our county on the conditional use permit that allows for all of the activities that take place on site including the concerts. This is quite an involved process and everything couldn't get fully sorted out before the summer. Rather than be out of compliance and possibly shut down, it was decided to take a step back and get the permitting done properly for all of the current and planned uses down the road. It was difficult and unfortunate to have to make this move, but it's the best way to go forward.
The good news is we are fully committed to bringing music back to Mountain Sage, are going to get the permit completed and the future will be bigger and better than ever. We have great plans going forward so if you've liked past events, you'll love what's coming up. We are hoping the incredibly supportive and broad reaching community that has been a hallmark of Mountain Sage will help us get over this little bump in the road.
If anybody is wondering what can be done, we are collecting letters from music event attendees describing their experiences at the concerts. These letters should not be negatively directed at the county, they are doing their jobs. Rather the letters should provide the county with an overview of the broad support the music series has established and what it means to the families that attend.
Looking forward to seeing you around the Sage this summer!
Our very best,
Robb, Regina and Noah
