Cedar & Sage
Cedar & Sage Solutions was built around a truth many contractors and small business owners know well: the work it takes to win the job can feel just as heavy as the work it takes to do the job — and with the right support, that weight becomes momentum, not distraction.
We were created to provide practical, flexible, revenue-minded support that fits the way you already run your business — without the overhead or long-term commitment of a full-time hire. Just thoughtful support that puts your time back where it matters most.
When workflows pile up, deadlines tighten, or communication starts to slip, we steady your work by organizing it and reinforcing the systems you already trust — delivering support that feels clear, familiar, and usable from day one, so your focus stays on the work that earns, builds, and moves your business forward.
We strengthen momentum at every stage, stepping in when things start to feel too heavy or too fast for a small team to carry alone — from bids and early planning, to tangled details, deliverables, and client care that need structure, clarity, and dependable follow-through. We bring thoughtful execution and practical, real-world ideas that keep communication clear, expectations aligned, and initiatives rooted in what actually drives results. And when the load gets scattered or overwhelming, we carry it just long enough to restore balance — then hand it back clearer, lighter, and moving forward again with confidence.
As a woman-owned consultancy, our reputation is earned the same way yours is: show up, do good work, and finish strong.
The moments we’re proudest of are the turning points that once felt just out of reach — the moment an owner feels the load lift, the path open and their momentum return.
Strong businesses don’t need heavier solutions. They need the right support — delivered at the right size, at the right time.
Our Founder:
Julie Farabaugh
I’ve spent my entire career in service-driven, high-pressure environments — the kind where you either learn to lead or you get swallowed whole. Over ten years ago, I started in restaurants, working my way through every role, eventually running both front- and back-of-house operations. I became the person people turned to when something needed fixing, when a shift went sideways, or when the team needed someone steady in the chaos.
That foundation shaped everything I’ve done since. When I transitioned into the cannabis industry, those same instincts — clear communication, quick learning, problem-solving under pressure, and building trust fast — pushed me from Brand Ambassador to Senior Market Manager overseeing multiple states.
But the heart of Cedar & Sage took shape at a small local diner where I worked weekends. The owners were new, the systems were nonexistent, and the operation needed structure. Helping them build something stable — while supporting friends and regulars who ran their own small businesses — showed me just how much weight small operators carry. Many of them talked openly about the pressure of bidding, communicating with clients, staying organized, and trying to keep projects moving with limited support. They didn’t need a full-time hire; they needed practical, flexible, and reliable support.
That’s why I founded Cedar & Sage.
I’m practical, straightforward, and results-driven. I don’t waste time, and I don’t make empty promises. I built this business for the people who keep everything moving — the contractors, builders, tradespeople, and hands-on owners who rarely have the support they deserve.
If you’re someone who works hard, leads with integrity, and needs a partner who can steady the pace and strengthen the process — you’re exactly who I built this for.
