Honeyvine Homestead and Botanicals

Honeyvine Homestead and Botanicals šŸ¦‹Welcome! I am a community herbalist, grower, and forager in NE Oklahoma, homesteading on one acre in an urban/indistrial area.

My passion is to share knowledge about edible, medicinal, and native plants, food preservation, homesteading, and herbalism.šŸ¦‹

Ack! I so love Black Forager for publicly stating what every seriously herbalist already thinks! If the book title says ā€œlostā€ or ā€œforgottenā€ or ā€œbibleā€ chances are you need to RUN! But specifically in the case of Nicole Apelian books, RUN!

This is one of mine and Ashley of Restoration Farms big soapbox issues, as the women who joined us at the Women in Nature event can attest to! šŸ˜‰

I am making a facial toner right now that is turning out so beautiful! Rose petals, Calendula, and Sage were combined with Witch Hazel.

This calming facial toner, that may help firm up the skin and reduce inflammation, and sooth rashes and blemishes, will be ready by Thanksgiving. I’ll add it to the other herbal stocking stuffers at Across the Prairie & Friends: Native Plants & More.

P.S. I hope to do much of my holiday shopping at the Across the Prairie shop. One person choosing to do some or all of their shopping at small businesses like this one can make a huge difference in that business’s bottom line. ā™„ļø

What’s happening at your place this weekend? I’ve got an entire unencumbered weekend, my favorite! So lots of homestead things are on the To Do list!

1. Begin processing the tons of tomatoes I’ve frozen over the growing season into pasta sauce for the year.

2. Make good on those bananas going bad by baking some banana bread (for the family instead of customers, for a change!).

3. Can some Pork and Veggie stew. [Pork stew meat is way less expensive and still makes a tasty stew!].

4. Start making good on all the chicken bones and veggie scraps I’ve saved by making chicken bone broth.

5. Plant Elderberry cuttings that were given to us.

6. Dig up and process Poke Root for medicine. [FYI, not a beginner herb—please don’t go harvest a poke root without properly knowledge as it’s highly toxic.]

7. Go through the seed box and heavily seed our frontage area. More natives next year!

What’s happening in your neck of the woods this weekend? And yes, it’s fine if what’s happening is abundant naps and relaxation! These ā€œto doā€ items are relaxing to my spirit. ā™„ļø

My beautiful state. I learned recently from Restoration Farms that OK is the third most ecologically diverse state in the country (after CA and TX) and that makes so much sense.

What I love most about the below statement is not only how accurate it is for my childhood, but also how accurate it once again is in my life today. The only difference is now I’m the mama calling from the porch.

I thank God. I prayed for this life.

šŸŽ„Stocking Stuffer Alert!šŸŽ„

Dropped the most adorable, giftable Masala Chai Bath Salts at Across the Prairie & Friends: Native Plants & More today. These are great stocking stuffers, only $5 each!
$5ļøāƒ£

You can add just a little, or the entire jar for a more luxurious bath (personally, I’d use the entire jar). It smells heavenly! These bath salts include Dead Sea Salt, which is loaded with magensium and other minerals to sooth sore muscles and bring relaxation after a long day.

These salts also include baking soda. Baking soda is super supportive of the skin. It helps clear rashes, can assist in a UTI, or fungal infections and helps clarify skin.

The herbs in these yummy salts include cinnamon, cardamom, all-spice, star anise, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and black pepper. The aroma of the included herbs is calming while being supportive for those times when you are dealing with a cold or flu, assisting with body aches and pains, and congestion in the respiratory tract.

Pint Jars also available at our homestead in Berryhill for $20 each.

P.S. Our 2 ounce Winter Resins salve makes a great stocking stuffer as well, with both Pine and Frankincense resins for an amazing all-purpose salve.

Neighbors, this is something for us to pay attention to. Be on the lookout for foods sprayed with the chemical herbicide Paraquat or Diquat. And be aware of putting yourself daily where it is sprayed (golf courses, nut processing factories, etc.).

Here is a link to the study. There is plenty of info online about this. This isn’t conspiracy theory. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38008593/

The comments in the below video are enlightening as well.

I know we can’t all buy organic all the time (I certainly can’t). But this really gives me pause about buying cereal grains and nuts that aren’t organic. ā€œOrganicā€ has its own issues in the U.S., but it’s the best we’ve got. Another idea is to purchase those items at international grocers, as this herbicide is completely banned in most of the world.

Be safe, friends. ā™„ļø
