Business Name Origin Story

I created this business after several years of making elderberry syrup for my family every cold/flu season and seeing the difference it made in our own family's health. I always knew the word "remedy" would be included; however, it took me a while to land on the word "humble". Some words downplayed the capabilities of herbal medicine, while others put it on a pedestal. I finally landed on the word "humble" because I thought it encompassed the following truths about my heart behind the company:

*ingredients in our products are simple and uncomplicated
*products are considered home remedies and not pharmaceuticals
*our products are not a promised cure; everybody is unique and may have differing results from our products
*I believe God writes our story; and sometimes sickness is part of it and sometimes we need allopathic medicine as well as herbal medicine

Every product I have created so far has come out of a need from my own household and was tried by my family before being sold to the public. But our lifestyle choices my differ from yours. We take zero medications and have medical conditions, so I do not have to factor that into account when trying ingredients. But natural does not always equal safe for you, so please check for contraindications with your medical history before starting new herbal products. Perhaps the significant reason for the word "Humble" in our name is me. I am not a medical professional. I am a crunchy mom who has found lots of ways to support my family's medical needs by using nature. But I am not at the place to call myself an expert. Passionate, absolutely, but humble in knowing my limitations.

Don't let this post stop you from talking herbs/essentials oils with me at a vendor event or in messages! I love a good crunchy conversation!!

Can you spot the praying mantis?

It was hanging around the elderberry bushes this season. Picking and destemming the berries is a fairly mindless task. Spotting this guy always serves as my reminder to stop my wondering mind and focus on praying over the elderberries and the customers who will buy my products, as well as expressing gratitude for the way God created our bodies and nature to work in harmony.

Our new elderberry kit packaging πŸ’•

If you prefer elderberry grown and dehydrated by me without any pesticides, message me to arrange a porch pick up. The kits in our vendor locations are sourced from certified organic companies. Both are a great product to support your family through fall/winter germs.

Added a new product to our spot at Jenny Lyns in Akron; an all purpose healing salve!

We've been using it non-stop in our house to stop the itch from bug bites. I also unfortunately had a chance to use it on poison ivy, a sore back and a strained calf muscle this past month

Blessings bouquets

I purchased bulk flower starts with one plan in mind and now we're pivoting. On Saturday mornings you can stop by and purchase bouquets by donation and occasionally garden vegetables. All proceeds are being donated to Clay Elementary school cafeteria to pay down students negative lunch balances.

There is so much sadness in our world, but we can work together to bring some joy to those in our community with beautiful flowers and relief of a financial burden

I was blessed by the kindness of strangers today.

My job is physical, so I utilize regular chiropractic adjustments and red light therapy to stay mostly pain free. Occasionally I'll treat myself to a massage as well. But my chiropractor doesn't offer massage hours convenient for me. Until today, today they were going to start offering them during a time that suited me. I had been looking forward to this for 6 weeks! But when I got there the office was closed.

I waited a few minutes because there were two sweet elderly ladies in the car beside me. Their presence a confirmation that I wasn't completely crazy and perhaps the staff was running late. Until too much time passed. So I called in and it turned out to be a scheduling error. It happens, we're all human.

So I walked over to these ladies to inform them and we chatted a bit. Then they gave me these beautiful flowers and peanut butter rice krispie that were originally treats for the Dr.!

Can we acknowledge just how adorable it would be to have patients that brought you flowers and sweets πŸ’•!!!

Yes, I was disappointed to not be getting a massage this morning, but I still left with a smile because of my interaction with two sweet souls. (Their adorable factor was extra high because they were wearing matching homemade dresses). May we all be looking for ways to spread joy to others throughout our day.

Did you know I can alter my blends just for you!?

It's a tea with my daughter kind of day. We still have the occasional sickness going around our home 😞, so we're sticking with the rhythm of hot tea on the regular. However, my kids only like the Tranquility blend. So I'll brew them that, plus add an herb or two to help whatever their current ailment is at the moment. For example if they have sinus issues, I'll add mullein to their Tranquility.

Another example, I had a customer who did not like the licorice flavor in Breathe, so I made her a mint flavored one instead.

Each herb in a tea doesn't have just one benefit, so there is some freedom to pick and choose to get a flavor profile that you enjoy, so you don't have to power through, but can enjoy your cup of tea

You can still find our products at Cocalico Coffee Crafters, Jenny Lyns at the Akron schoolhouse or Tin Roof Cafe N' Sweets.

A porch pick is still possible, but you'll need to message me to arrange a time as the products are no longer kept outside.

Today is National DIY day!

What's your fav thing to do yourself?

2 years ago I challenged myself to start making bread products for my family. And that has become my favorite DIY. Nothing beats homemade bread! I still buy the occasional hot dog or hamburger bun though. But sandwich bread, soft pretzels, English muffins and pizza dough are in regular circulation at our house.

Pictured here is my first ever batch of apple cider vinegar made from scraps from the process of making dried apple slices.
