Straining the fire cider and bottling up a fresh batch today.

If you’ve never tried fire cider before—it’s a traditional herbal tonic made with warming, pungent plants that help wake up digestion, support the immune system, and get things flowing when you’re feeling stagnant or run down.

This batch is ready and already available on the website ✨
I’ll also have some at the Spring Market this weekend + at the farm stand 🌿

The nettles are up 🌿

Stinging Nettle is one of those quintessential spring herbs I return to again and again.

Deeply nourishing and mineral-rich, nettle works over time to rebuild and restore the body—especially when things feel depleted or out of balance.

As an alterative, it gently supports the body’s natural detoxification pathways, helping to move stagnation and bring things back into flow.

It’s also one of my favorite allies for seasonal allergies—working not by suppressing symptoms, but by strengthening and supporting the system as a whole.

This is the kind of medicine that’s simple, abundant, and incredibly effective when used consistently.

Do you work with nettle this time of year?

Today was the first gathering of the Rooted Women’s Herbal Apprenticeship 🌿

We spent the day slowing down, getting to know each other, and beginning to build a foundation in herbalism—starting with energetics and the dosha system.

I’ll be honest… I tried to go a little too deep (as I tend to do 😅) and found myself rushing at the end. A good reminder that this work isn’t about cramming information in, but about creating space for it to land.

And that’s really what this program is about.

Not just learning herbs…
But building a relationship with them.
With the land.
And with ourselves.

I’m so excited for this group and this season ahead 🌱

This is just the beginning.

I’ll be set up at the The Farm Table till 4pm for their Spring Craft Fair! Swing by and say hi and shop all the local artisans. 🌿

🪴I’ve got the first of many plants out on the farm stand! These are cold hardy perennial flowers and medicinal herbs ready to be planted. 🌱

Shop these and our herbal products, jewelry and other gifts at our self serve farm stand located at 97 Warwick Road in Royalston MA. 🌿

I’ve been a bit MIA on here… but it’s because life has been happening 🌿

Spring cleaning, planting seeds, and… the yurt is officially up.

This herbal gathering space is starting to come together piece by piece. It’s not fully where I envision it yet, but I can feel it taking shape more and more each day—rugs, plants, medicine making, and women gathered in circle.

Yesterday during Wild Women’s Apprenticeship we were out harvesting pine resin—sticky hands and all—and it felt like such a full circle moment. Doing this work while actively creating the space it will live in… it just feels really special.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to learn this work in a hands-on, grounded way, there are just 3 days left to join the Rooted Women’s Herbal Apprenticeship.

This one is all about working with common herbs—growing them, harvesting them, and actually using them in your daily life.

I’d love to have you there 💚

I love when someone reaches out looking for a meaningful gift 💚

This one was created for a birthday — a custom bundle of herbal teas, self-care, and intentional ritual pieces, all handcrafted and thoughtfully chosen.

There’s something really special about putting these together… not just products, but an experience.

If you’re ever looking for a gift that feels personal, local, and made with care, I’m always happy to create something custom 🌿✨

There’s a moment where herbalism stops being something you learn about… and becomes something you actually live.

That’s what the Rooted Women’s Herbal Apprenticeship is about.

Starting in a few weeks we’ll be meeting monthly to:
🌱 growing herbs together
🌿 harvesting and preserving them
🫖 turning them into real, usable medicine

This is for the woman who:
• feels called to herbalism but isn’t ready for foraging yet
• wants practical, everyday skills
• craves a deeper connection to the plants she works with

And if you’ve taken one of my other apprenticeships—this is a completely new layer of learning. Different herbs. Different preparations. A different kind of relationship.

If you’ve been waiting for the right place to begin… this might be it. Enrollment closes 4/15 🌿

April is here… and here’s where you can find me:

🌿 Wild Women’s Herbal Apprenticeship – April 12
🌿 Rooted Women’s Herbal Apprenticeship – April 19
→ last day to join is April 15 (a few spots left)
🌿 Spring Craft Fair – April 18 (The Farm Table)

And as we step into more time outside, I’ve been reaching for:

• Herbal bug care + bite relief
• Natural sun care
• Nourishing mineral-rich teas

If you’re stocking your home apothecary for spring, everything is up on my website and the farm stand 🌱

✨ And behind the scenes…

I’m beginning to build a dedicated outdoor teaching space here on the land—centered around a large canvas bell tent.

A space for gathering.
For learning with the plants.
For slowing down together.

I’ve opened up a few ways to support this vision (including tea gatherings + future workshop credits), and the response so far has honestly meant so much.

If you feel called to be part of it, please hop over to my website and click the gathering space page to support this vision and be a part of its creation. 💚🌿✨
