Thinking of adding some drinking bone broth to our menu but want to know if there is a desire?

For our community that may be fasting or healing their gut or wanting an on-the-go superfood grab to make your day more nourished.

What do you think??

Idk if you noticed but we've been out of our big jars of tallow for a couple weeks.

Last week I started my frankincense resin infusion, yesterday I started the calendula and chamomile infusion, today I'm cutting, melting, and measuring the tallow and Shea butter and mixing it all together in different dishes to harden over the weekend in the fridge.

Early next week me and my ENTIRE staff (all 7 of us!) are going to go through the whipping, piping, and filling process.

Im kinda excited :D holy crap it's a lot of work though.

Until then, we have 2oz jars available.
Next week, we will have about 800 jars ready for you to give as presents!

Our elderberry spice + honey tea is delicious!

Amazing for the immune system, helpful for your tummy, and a bit of a treat that's good for you!

See you til 530 today!

I watched someone (live) on a bike steal the cooler at about 4am on Sunday so that's not a thing anymore but I think for eggs and things it's cold enough out.

There is still quite a lot here! Lots of baby formula and some baby food, feminine products, diapers, lots of soups and things.

I am starting to see some signs that riffraff have been here and while that's to be expected I definitely don't have time for it :) so tentatively I will keep this going for about another week, if you or someone you know is in need of a meal, please swing by and grab what you need.

If you want to empty your pantry here, please do so!! Anything left over on say, Tuesday next week - I will deliver to the food shelf.

I think it's great how you have shown up for your community when it was needed ❤️ keep doing that. It really doesn't take a lot to facilitate small changes in people's lives, sometimes you just gotta put up a table and invite people to it. :)

This week is an elderberry spice + honey immune boosting tea ☕

Featuring elderberries, cinnamon, ginger, clove, lemon, and honey 🍯 it is a delicious fruity + autumn spiced blend that is super useful this time of year.

We are serving you til 3 today!

I am actually home today, but when you go in tell Katie she's doing an amazing job! She's handling the busiest day of the week (today) on her own and that can be a lot to handle. She's pretty great though :)

If you are out running errands today and have time to drop some food at our little community pantry, I am getting messages daily of those in need.

Diapers and kids snacks. Formula. Pasta and cans of chili. Mac + cheese. Bread. Peanut butter + jelly.

Anything you can offer, the tables are there and the people will come. ♥️

So far: I've seen zero people take "more than needed". I've had a lot of people ask permission and say "how much can I take?" Even though there is a sign that says "take what you need, leave what you can".
Genuinely, most people are decent. There's usually just one person that ruins it for everyone and the only people I've seen complain about it are just generally miserable humans who likely hate themselves more than they hate others.

Fortunately, I'm well versed in that type and I'm not afraid to slap someone directly in the ego, so we'll keep focusing on the quiet needs not the noisy people who lack understanding and empathy.

Please keep showing up for your community, this is literally the point.

The table is still out and there is a cooler out there for fresher items: produce, eggs, etc.

You guys are loving the Tulsi Sunrise and today is the last day to grab it!

We are open til 530 and would love to have you come see our new stuff and stock up on remedies ♥️

Our food pantry table IS still out and we'll keep it out as long as it's not raining, please continue to bring your donations and spread the word.

I also would LOVE to hear if you guys have any favorite remedies or holiday wishes for gifts that you'd love to see us find and carry? I have a decent amount of shelf space now and would love to fill them up!

☀️ another day of our delicious Tulsi Sunrise tea; stress management with an uplifting flavor and function. Citrus and a touch of spice from the ginger!

🤝 Our "food pantry" table still has some great foods on it, some menstrual products yet, and it could absolutely use some replenishment. If you have extra and can drop off some food for our neighbors in need of a meal, please do so. We've had neighbors bring tomatoes and onions and produce and ive watched people take a few things and pop in and express gratitude. Small acts of kindness matter and I hope you guys will keep it going and empty the stuff from your pantry that you have been passing over. Drop off whenever, I have been leaving it out overnight and keeping a small eye on it with my store cameras. The honor system is what we have to rely on ♥️ I just ask that my bins and my tables stay as I use them to run my business :)

🌿🌿 We have so many new things coming that I'm so excited about!! Some super special stuff for Black Friday/Small biz Saturday that you'll want to keep in mind if you have a budding herbalist you're needing a gift for.

♥️Thank you for all of the support, I'm in continual gratitude that I get to do this for a living. We have had a LOT of seasons in the life of my business and every one of them, good and "bad", has taught me a million things.

📢 I am throwing it out there that sometime in the next year I am looking to expand. Whether renting another space or buying and also potentially building, I'm exploring all the possibilities, some of them scarier than others. If you know of a place in the area that either has or could fairly easily have a commercial kitchen put in it (the building NOT being riddled with Mold is 100% a must), please let me know :) moving *only* the manufacturing aspect and storage of my product is a possibility as well as full on moving, we are growing and have really reached capacity in our space at this point!

Oh also! We're open til 530 and hope to see you!!! We have fancy chocolate. 🍫 🤤

It's a cozy time of year!
I adore candles BUT they always give me a headache.

I'm the person that unplugs glade plugins everywhere I go because it's an instant migraine from the chemical cocktail of fragrance.

These candles are completely non toxic, smell amazing, and are made with a coconut wax blend. They're also silly and will make amazing gifts.

Lauren's favorite: hippie pheromones

Katie's favorite: put that in your pipe and smoke it

Em's favorite: hippie pheromones

Amanda's favorite: oh my gourd

Another new thing we have in store!

It's frequent that people say "how do you get your kids to drink tea" or "take a tincture". These flavored droppers will help!!

We have a bunch of different flavors to choose from - sweetened with stevia or monk fruit.

Have you been in to see our new stuff yet? We have a lot of it and more coming as we get ready for the holidays.

In total, we have 12 new products in the works that we are making alone!! And more to come as I get more time in my kitchen to create things!

These infuser bottles are one of our new things that I love! If you like to do an overnight infusion or carry your tea with you, this is where it's at. And they're so pretty!!

We only have a few of them, so come get one if you want one :)

We are serving a Tulsi Sunrise this week!

Made with the amazing herb Tulsi, an uplifting adaptogen that helps your body calm down, feel better, and become more resilient to stress.

Paired with some turmeric, lemongrass, and ginger, it's also an amazing digestive helper and very anti-inflammatory.

And of course, orange 🧡

This is one of my fav actually functional and tastes pretty good teas.

See you today til 3!
