If you’re seeing these pretty little purple flowers pop up in your yard right now then you’re more than likely seeing wild violets (Viola sororia). These little flowers aren’t just pretty, they are also useful! Violets have been used in traditional herbalism for a very long time. The leaves and flowers are edible and extremely rich in vitamins A and C. They have a mild flavor that makes them good in salads, soups, and used as a garnish. The flowers also make a delicious syrup and jelly. 🍯
Violets also are a demulcent. This means that they are great for dry coughs, sore throats, and many other things. They are also anti-inflammatory and are excellent for the lymphatic system.

If you decide to harvest your own always make sure you have the correct herb and that they are from a spray-free area. 💜

I’ve been pretty quiet on here lately, and this is mostly why! Planting season is in full swing here. I hope to harvest almost all of my herbs for my products this year. Do you have a favorite herb that you like to grow? 😁

💚Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is one of my favorite herbs. You will see it in a lot of our products and it’s one of my favorite herbs to grow. It is a potent antiviral, digestive aid, and nervine (calms nerves). 💚

I hope everyone has had a great week so far! All orders from Thanksgiving week have officially been mailed out! I appreciate everyone’s patience as we had a virus here that pushed my orders back a bit. 🙂

Over the next week or so, I’ll be updating the website and adding new products and photos. There are lots of new items coming that I’ve been working hard on….and a few of them aren’t just for humans 😉.

I’ve also been stocking up for cold and flu season with congestion balms, cold & flu tinctures, and a few other goodies. Stay tuned, there’s so much more to come… and as always thank you for your support and remember to shop small businesses this holiday season! 🎄
