Our Goldenrod Tincture may be especially helpful during allergy season, thanks to its traditional use for supporting healthy respiratory function and its natural anti-inflammatory properties.

And despite the common misconception, goldenrod itself is not usually the culprit behind fall allergies—ragweed is a much more common trigger. Goldenrod blooms at the same time and often gets the blame simply because it’s more noticeable!

Gramma didn’t care much for fads. She’d just say, “If the coffee’s gone, dig up some chicory.” She roasted the root, ground it up, and brewed it dark. Made a good cup without keeping you awake half the night!

She’d tell you, “It’s good for your belly, too.”
Turns out she wasn’t just talking.

Chicory root is full of inulin, a natural prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bugs in your gut and helps keep digestion on track.

No miracle. No cure-all. Just a plain old root that folks had been using long before somebody put a fancy label on it.

Gramma believed if something had been helping families for generations, it was worth keeping around.

Rest is not idleness; it is renewal. Just as soil must lie fallow to remain fertile, your body and mind need time to recover.
Rest sharpens focus, restores creativity, and strengthens resilience. To rest wisely is to invest in your future strength.

Thoughts are seeds — plant resentment and you harvest bitterness, plant gratitude and you reap joy. Guard your mental garden with intention.

Our foraging event was a huge success . Sometimes a smaller group can be just as meaningful as a larger one. God sure met us at ONehDa Vineyard, Makers of O-Neh-Da & Eagle Crest Wines today and we are grateful. I’m sure Crystal Joy has photos she’ll share of our amazing day!

Did u know that currants are way more medicinal
Than elderberries? You can use currant leaves for a delicious nutricious tea too!
Here we are making a currant Oxymel. Only water organic raw honey currants and organic apple cider vinegar with the mother.
This will be shelf stable and perfect for the months where we don’t get as much sun! A general wellness tonic that packs a punch!
Currants ripen before elderberries so it a perfect time to get this done.
