I'd like to take a moment to publicly declare my appreciation for one of our newer herb sources- 🍃
You folks grew, dried, and processed some truly stunning medicinal herbs for us this past year… and I just can't let more time go on without singing your praises 💚
First off, gorgeous whole Echinacea flowers that make tea with them a ceremony and immune/allergy support a ritual to return to… somebody else please come appreciate these with me. I dare you to host a tea party with these in a glass teapot !! Also shout out to Echinacea (& for making the flower essence) for supporting me in doing some spiritual work this past year around defining and articulating my self/needs/desires- I still have so much to learn from you.
Next up, easily my favourite Marshmallow root to come through these doors, so beautifully processed… instead of the usual slices, this root is shredded in such a way that the increased surface area makes for an even juicier, more mucilagenous, gut-healing, mucous membrane-supporting cold decoction and I'm so enamoured with your skills. I've personally only ever done slices and I don't know how you managed this cut but wowwww.
Heart's Ease Violets?! Anyone who knows me knows I am Violet obssessed and this past year we were truly spoiled. After yeeeears of not being able to source any kind of Violet with any life in them, we have 4 direct trade sources and both Sweet Violet + Heart's Ease Violet in the dispensary right now, including from my own garden. This however is the largest bag of whole dried Violets I have ever had the priviledge of gazing upon/holding in my hands/distributing to community *in my life* and I tremble with the responsibility.
