Sacred Soil: Éire
Hold Ireland Close. Wherever You Are.
What is
Sacred Soil?
Irish people have always carried a deep connection to the land. For those living abroad, that connection can feel distant; but never lost.
​
Sacred Soil offers a way to hold that heritage close. Through hand-packed jars of real Irish soil, sand from the Irish Sea, and homegrown shamrocks, we help you mark life’s most meaningful moments with something real from home.
​
Whether placed beneath a child’s first steps, mixed into the foundation of a new home, walked down the aisle, or laid at a final resting place, this is more than soil or clovers.
It’s Ireland, held in your hands.
Sacred Soil Community
“My dad always said he wanted to be buried in Ireland, but we weren’t able to make that happen. When I found Sacred Soil, it felt like a small way to honor that wish. I brought the jar with me to his funeral and sprinkled it at the cemetery. It meant everything to me and my family. It was like we were finally able to give him that connection to home.”
- Mike C., Boston, U.S.
“I bought one of the pressed shamrocks for my grandmother’s birthday. She left Ireland when she was 18 and hasn’t been back in decades. When I gave it to her, she just stared at it for a minute and said, ‘I used to pick these on the way to school.’ It was such a small thing, but it brought her right back. Thank you for making something that feels so simple, yet so meaningful.”
- Molly S., NYC, U.S.
