We will have eucalyptus bunches at market this wee

We will have eucalyptus bunches at market this weekend for the first and last time ever! Eucalyptus is a naturalized and prolific tree where it it’s a perennial, like in California. Here, we grow it as an annual, and it takes most of our season for it to become large enough to harvest from. We also have to buy the starts as plugs, which is pretty expensive. I’m excited to be offering eucalyptus this year for you to dry yourself! We have been hanging it from the rafters of our barn and it’s been so delightful. Sometimes I’ll throw a sprig on my dashboard and when the car heats up, it smells amazing. A lot of our eucalyptus went to the bouquets that you see in these pictures, a lot of it will come to market with us this weekend for you, and a whole bunch is drying in our barn for our dried flower arrangements that will be bringing to market later this month.

In the apothecary today we pressed our homegrown arnica oil. I feel proud of this one, a plant I didn’t know I could grow in this climate! Our wee little stand of #arnica grew in our #portaltopower and flowered for 2 quarts of oil to be made AND for us to collect enough seeds to not order any next year! Arnica oil is one ingredient in our #soremusclesalve. We don’t usually sell oils, but if you want any just get in touch! We know sometimes #armica is just what you need! #herbfarm #cuttingroot

We are harvesting ashwagandha this week! This root

We are harvesting ashwagandha this week! This root medicine is used in Ayurvedic medicine in India, in bliss balls and powder blends in western herbalism and in the clinical trials of doctors at UPMC- so there must be room for her in your medicine cabinet. Helpful for sleep, energy, muscle pain and depressive symptoms, we love the tea and the fresh tincture! You can buy fresh roots from us this week and next and visit our website to buy the medicines, like tinctures and teas that we’ve already made with this medicine. #roots #rootharvest #cuttingroot

Peppermint! The farm apprentices have diligently cared for our peppermint patch this year. It’s planted in the very middle of our field, a very sunny and dry spot, so although it can thrive there, so does the vetch! This year we spent many hours weeding the peppermint, ripping out vetch and re-planting the bald spots that it left. Yesterday minty Mondays came full circle as we harvested the entire field! Can’t wait to put new mint in our tea blends. #teas #cuttingroot

We are opening our fields for gleaning next week! We have a lot of crops that we have harvested from, and we don’t need any more. But we want you, our community, to spend time in the gardens, collecting your own herbs next week! There is a $20 charge for gleaning and bring your own bag, or bags! When you arrive at the farm someone will greet you and be ready to give you a small tour of the gardens and show you what crops are harvestable. We have a lot, mullein, holy basil, lemon balm, and cayenne are pictured here! We also have dandelion and plantain leaf, golden rod tops, and lots of seeds to collect from anise hyssop, catnip, and more! We will be open only next Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday between 930 and 2. Please send us a DM to schedule your time to come out to visit. #herbfarm #september #cuttingroot

Guess who? Read more below, as I give you hints to

Guess who? Read more below, as I give you hints to who this is. Leave a comment if you can guess! It was my first time harvesting this herb yesterday for our new fall CSA member Denise. My hands were sticky with the resin as I peeled the berries off the stems. I taught a class this weekend, where this herb was a big player. The berries are part of our materia medica for hormone regulation, influencing the hypothalamus pituitary axis. I feel truly honored to have these plants in my garden, they came from Jim Dukes Green Farmacy in Maryland. We will be harvesting the rest of these berries, and will have them fresh for sale this week only. The rest of them we will dry, and add to our online store soon. We will let a few spikes ripen on the plant, and add these to our seed library. As the energy changes to fall, we are working on collecting seeds from all of our herbs. We will be debuting our seed library with @blackunicornlibraryproject soon! #herbfarm #seedlibrary #seedsaving

Dr Roy Chengappa, Dr Jessica Gannon and Joan Spino

Dr Roy Chengappa, Dr Jessica Gannon and Joan Spinogatti joined our crew this Monday to meet ashwaghanda. This Ayurvedic herb is well known to help with sleep, energy, virility, adrenal burnout and to combat cancerous growths. These doctors have completed two clinical trials with ashwagandha, one as an adjunct therapy in bipolar disorder and one with schizophrenia. The results have been amazing, and they are working to replicate one of the studies again. It was so wonderful to be there when they met the plants, to answer questions about how we grow and process the roots, and to hear them talk about their clinical experiences of how this plant can help with severe psychiatric conditions and symptoms and also about how much resistance they’ve found in the medicinal community to botanical medicines even with the whooping results of their clinical trial! I love bringing people and plants together and this was a special gathering of just that! #ashwagandha #herbfarm #cuttingroot

Our Herbal Frolic with Lady Buggs this past Saturd

Our Herbal Frolic with Lady Buggs this past Saturday was a dream come true. It was an affirming space, a space to be ourselves, to celebrate abundance, to cultivate beauty and to spend time with and meet new friends. We toured the gardens, picked flowers and created flower crowns and wreaths. Mama Sophia led beautiful meditations, shared her farming and life story- and everlasting flowers were such a big part of that! Creating special items from the garden and drying them is a new adventure for me this year, and I’m grateful for these lessons. I’m grateful for the smiles, the joy, the patient parallel crafting and for being part of such a lovely community. It can be lonely and isolating, farming and running a business and moments like these are true gifts. Stay tuned for more adventures like this one! #herbfarm #flowerfarm #ladybuggs #mamasophia #cuttingroot @mamasophias_wisdom @ladybuggsfarm
