We are hiring! Want to join us in the fields this spring and summer? We’ll be caring for an acre and a half of perennials, annuals, herbs and flowers, we’ll be seeding, we’ll be weeding, we’ll be laughing and we’ll get real tired. We’ll harvest thousands of stems of flowers and hundreds of pounds of herbs. Field work is my favorite thing about this job, will you join me? Link in bio.

Our website is open right now for all your herbal needs! Teas, tinctures, syrups, salves, dried flowers and bulk herbs. Even gift cards you can give to a loved one. We’ll be taking a short break, from the solstice to the new year, so if you want your herbs shipped out in a timely fashion, place your order before December 19. I just updated our inventory of bulk dried herbs because we are seeing so many people mixing their own tea blends! It’s beautiful! I love making products but I love even more that our herbs go to so many talented healers and herbalists to reach people all over.

New syrups and honeys! I thought I had given up making you syrups, they are just so sticky and take a lot of time and care, but then I realized they are just too yummy. They are great medicines that help support our bodies and so I gave in, our original elderberry tonic and cough syrups are joined by a new tulsi rose hunny, sleepy time syrup and golden hunny. Gorgeous and delicious. Artwork by the incredible @kibblewoodcrafts and photos by the lovely @jess.canose
