Hello September! It's not fall yet, but it's coming... Can you feel it? 🍂

Sign up for our seasonal box just in time to celebrate the turning of the season! Now open to new subscribers, our Fall Equinox Box will be revealed and begin shipping September 15th...

Your membership not only benefits your wellbeing, but it provides guaranteed income to a small, local business. We call it a CSH (Community Supported Herbalism) program! Just like a CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production, our CSH is a valuable revenue stream for us. It gives us a set quarterly income we can (generally) depend on, and in return we're able to offer members the boxes at a discount (usually around $80 worth is included in each box, for $60). Members also get what's in season, new and limited edition. It's a win-win! We have gotten each seasonal box out to our valued members for 5 years now, since we introduced the program at the end of 2019...

Will you join and support this small business today?

If you're already a member, thank you so much for your support!

Following the sun 🌞

More and more grateful for this life with each passing year, and for all the wonderful people in it. I’m calling in abundance and love in all its forms, seeking to release all that does not serve me, striving to live in alignment and integrity, and working (and playing) on unbecoming all that is not me in order to be the best version of myself 👑

A huge thank you to Kachina of for not only showing me where to pick local huckleberries for our face cream, but also helping me pick them after yesterday’s Felton market 😍

Women like Kachina, Jeannie of , the late Katy of , and of course, my aunt have been so helpful and inspiring to me along this business path. These are the people I strive to be like: never gatekeeping and always open and willing to share tips, markets, sources, and more. Living in abundance 💗

Reminder: we alternate each week between the Felton and downtown markets. This week was Felton, so next week will be downtown. Hope to see you there 🌻
