This is the last farm gathering for the season!

Come celebrate the shift from the light half the year back to the dark half of the year. We will have teas and herbal mocktails to wander the farm and see how this season is wrapping up. We will join in community to reflect back and look forward.

Sliding scale by donation.

Food is always your primary nutrition. And herbs can help!

How you take the herbs matter. A decoction where you simmer the herbs on the stove is the strongest preparation for mineral content.
Next option is long herbal infusions. A long infusions where you let the herbs steep 4-hour to overnight.

And then eat the whole herbs, especially the Greene herbs that have had relations with humans for thousands of years. This is cilantro, parley, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, chives, basil’s. All the herbs you put on food!

Last chance to join us in the farm this season!!

Minerals are one of the undervalued pieces of herbs. We are often picking for what they do as an action in the body.

Herbs can help as nutritives to fill gaps in the diet. The modern standard American diet is greatly deficient and an herbal infusion of tea each day can help to boost your nutrient intake.

The water form is the most traditional way to work with the herbs and provides a robust nutrient profile of your do long infusions (think 4 hours to overnight) or a decoction simmering on the stove. Our casual 5-7 min steep is cute and tastes good 👅. But the difference of medicine is how long you let it steep!

Nutritive herbs include: nettle, oatstraw, raspberry leaf, mints, lemon balm, horsetail and more!
