Many of you have asked us what we’re doing to stay as healthy as we can during this pandemic. Besides self quarantining ourselves and following the CDC’s hygienic recommendations, we are taking tinctures of medicinal mushrooms (Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, Maitake, Red Reishi, Turkey Tail, White Jelly), drinking herbal teas (Elderberry, Elderflower, Peppermint, Echinacea, Lemon Balm, Licorice Root, Ginger, Mullein, Rosehips), keeping vitamin C in our diets daily, and we’re taking a tablespoon of our Elderberry syrup (recipe below).

Our family wants to take a moment to thank you all for your support and patronage. Since opening up our products and herbal remedies to the public in 2018, we've had a tremendous response which has taken us all by surprise. We never thought we'd be in the position we are today, but alas, here we are...

​We've sold over 5,000 products since setting up at our local farmers market on a whim and an idea. As you know, we've promised to plant tree seeds for every item sold, and so we have some work ahead of us this spring. With your patronage, we've raised enough from our sales to plant 5,451 trees. Not all trees will sprout, and not all will live on to become a vibrant member of an Ohio forest, but we will continue to do our best to help curb the negative effects deforestation has had on our planet.

In a modern world suffering from overpopulation, where the land is being stripped, the food processed and poisoned, the medicine often causing more harm than good, it’s important to return to the roots that guided our evolution. The natural ways which worked for hundreds of generations before us is still alive and well, and our family is here to offer insight into how plant medicines can improve your everyday wellness.
