Today it was too cold for farm work. It seemed like a good opportunity to spend time with the family.

It's finally Autumn! Are you looking for something to keep you warm?

How about trying a cup of organic medicinal tea?
Great for drinking while wrapped in a blanket reading your favorite book or binge-watching your favorite show!

Rows of tulsi, or holy basil as it is also called. One of the traditional herbs used for generations as part of both Traditional Chinese and Ayuvedic medicine. I drink Tulsi tea daily. It may be my favorite herb I grow.

The other day I harvested blue vervain. Its a tall plant, some of the stalks were taller than me. I decided to go cut it in the late evening because it had been so hot. So, I was racing the setting sun. While I was working the red tailed hawk that nests in a nearby tree was flying back and forth overhead screeching. I guess she was telling me to move on. Anyway, according to western herbalism, blue vervain has a calming effect when consumed. It is drying and will soon be available on the web site.

Yesterday was way too hot to spend much time working outside so I used the time to catch up on bee related projects. I spent the afternoon assembling frames. For those unfamiliar with beekeeping, the frames are arranged inside the hive boxes and help keep the honey combs in order as the bees build them. A thin sheet of beeswax, called foundation, is put inside the frame and the bees build their comb on that thin sheet. Bees have to consume about 8 pounds of honey to produce one pound of wax, so comb building is a major ongoing project in any beehive.

Rain rain rain. I shouldn't complain because the fields needed it, but it also means I will soon be doing battle with weeds. Anyway, since I can't work outside I took the opportunity to write a new blog post about brewing tea. Check it out at www.bramble-t-farm.com. The blog's heading is Herbs Bees & Berries. Let me know what you think

Rows of catnip almost ready to harvest. Most people don't think catnip is edible (or in this case drinkable), but it is. Catnip is a member of the mint family and can be used to make a delicate flavored tea. While this catnip isn't quite ready yet, we still have a small amount from our last harvest.

I harvested motherwort the other day. Its drying now and will be available in a few days.

After you crush the thorny seed heads by rubbing then across the screen, you are left with a pile of fluff. Somewhere under all that fluff are the seeds I am after.

Processing milk thistle today. It's a lot of crushing and winnowing. Even dry the spines are formidable. I keep saying I will get some leather gloves to deal with them...but I never do.

Certified Naturally Grown is an alternative choice for farmers and consumers to Certified Organic.

Calendula is one of my favorite crops we grow. They bloom starting around June and keep going through the summer. They have to be picked every day, but they are worth the effort. Like a field of sunshine.

We have been harvesting calendula flowers and milk thistle for a few weeks. They will be dry and ready for sale in a few days. Skullcap, catnip, tulsi, and evening primrose will be right behind them.
