God I love this part....
Remember those seeds I saved? They actually saved me...money & time. And guess what? They've already got my energy tied to them. Prepare. Plant. Water. Love. Tend. Harvest. Enjoy. Preserve....
And then do it again, with gratitude.🌱

I’m excited to announce that I will be opening a small seasonal herbal immersion this year on the farm.

The land has always been the original apothecary, and this growing season we’ll spend time learning how to work with it in a real, hands-on way.

Over five months, we’ll gather regularly to plant, forage, harvest, preserve, and craft plant medicine together while building practical herbal and homestead skills you can actually use in everyday life.

This will be a small, intentional group.

If you feel called to something like this, comment 'interested' below or send me a message and I’ll share the details when enrollment opens.

I love my products. I use them daily. Even more so, I love being able to share them with others. I love seeing my vision for this business gracefully claim its place in this realm. I love what I do. I love the plants. I love the medicine. I love the alchemy. I love who I am and where I go when I am present with my craft. My products hit different because of the devotion I put in. They resonate because of the intention inside of the rim. They are lived in before they are sold.

The plants speak, and I allow myself to listen to the point where I resurrect them, bring them back to life, and let them evolve and mingle with other plant allies to create the most beautiful and beneficial wellness products. That is where the medicine lives.

I have one batch of fire cider left for the season, and when it's gone, it's gone! I need to make room for NEW products to drop! 😎💥😍

Current prices:
4oz $20
8oz $35
Shipping $8

White pine (Pinus strobus) has been used for generations in herbal medicine, and modern research backs up a lot of that old knowledge. The needles are loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, quercetin, shikimic acid, and natural volatile oils that support the lungs, immune system, and overall resilience during the colder months.

Key Benefits of White Pine Needles

• Respiratory support
White pine helps open the lungs, reduce congestion, and ease that “tight chest” feeling. The needles contain expectorant and bronchodilating compounds that help clear mucus and support easier breathing.
• High in vitamin C
White pine needles contain significantly more vitamin C than most citrus fruits (especially when fresh). This helps with immune function, collagen production, and combating inflammation.
• Antioxidant-rich
The needles are packed with flavonoids—quercetin, proanthocyanidins, catechins—which help reduce oxidative stress and support recovery from illness.
• Shikimic acid content
A well-known compound also found in star anise. It supports immune balance and has become widely researched for its antiviral relevance.
• Gentle lymphatic support
Helps keep immune circulation moving, especially when paired with rest and hydration.
• Mood & nervous system benefits
The aromatic oils in pine can have a grounding, uplifting effect and help reduce mental fatigue.

I am currently in the process of making a white pine soda. It is a wild fermentation, similar to ginger bug or natural root beer. You are essentially feeding the natural yeasts and bacteria on the pine needles and in the environment with a natural sugar, allowing them to create carbonation and probiotics.

The Sugars from the air and pine feed the microbes and then they convert those sugars into organic acids, mild alcohol (very low), CO₂, and beneficial enzymes. Over a few days, the mixture becomes bubbly, lightly tangy, and probiotic. The pine oils and nutrients infuse into the liquid, giving it a clean, bright, resinous flavor.

This process preserves the antioxidants while adding gut-friendly benefits from the fermentation itself.

The flavor profile equals a bright, resinous, citrus-adjacent that pairs well with lemon, ginger, honey, or fruit.





Only use white pine (Pinus strobus).
Avoid yew and other toxic look-alikes.
Avoid during pregnancy (standard pine precaution).
