Our Northern Forests are incredibly generous. They provide habitant to many types of wildlife, wood for us to create with or heat our homes with, and these trees are hosts to a wild variety of medicinal mushrooms.

This extract contains a blend of two powerful and complimentary medicinal mushrooms - Birch Polypore and Lions Mane. Both have been well-studied and used by humanity for thousands of years. In fact, a piece of birch polypore was found in the bag of the Iceman, Otzi when he was found in the Italian Alps, at least 5,000 years old.

They are known to support brain health, memory, nerve repair & even regrowth. Both have been studied and shown to positively improve mood disorders, focus & clarity.

A 2022 study showed Lions Mane has "enhanced Nerve growth factor levels, increased neuronal survival, promoted hippocampal neurogenesis, decreased amyloid plaque build-up, and improved behavioural outcomes. Human trials showed improvements in cognitive function scores, short-term memory, and visual contrast sensitivity."

Both of these medicinal mushrooms help to manage oxidative stress, fatigue inflammation, and improve immune system function. If that wasn't enough, Birch Polypore also has strong anti-cancer properties, with one study noting that this mushroom "elicited anticancer effects that were attributed to decreased tumor cell proliferation, motility, and the induction of morphological changes. Of note is the fact that it produced no or low toxicity in tested normal cells."

There is a lot of potency captured in this little bottle! Is this part of your daily rotation yet?

Since when did doing good work in the world become not worthwhile?

I really cannot stand when people say oh that’s a lot of work in a pitiful tone. As if it’s not worth doing.

Awh you’re trying to make your dreams come true? I feel bad for you.

You’re providing an alternative to the conventional failing medical model through your nontoxic healing herbal remedies? *sucks air through teeth* good luck with that one.

Why is it that society teaches children you can be anything you want - reach for the stars - achieve your dreams - and then when you mature into an adult and work towards those dreams you’re told to get back in line. Get a real job, become a cog in the machine, and FFS make sure you’re investing in the stock market and planning for retirement.

As if doing good work in this present moment isn’t worthwhile. Hard work isn’t worthwhile. Taking care of land, animals, your community (no matter the size) doesn’t have value. Or striving to create a life you don’t want to escape from is a meaningless pursuit. Being inspired, having a burning mission, something that pulses through you and gets your heart racing, a vision burning behind your eyes and guiding you forward should be extinguished.

Over the past few years I've had a lot of people project onto me & try to diminish my worth with harsh words and judgement. They've been painful lessons but I'm here on the other side & more determined than ever!

We've been recognized by as a botanical sanctuary. The pollinators & native plants & animals we share this land with certainly appreciate our work. The hundreds of reviews and messages of gratitude & appreciation from our customers mean more than any negative comments.

After 4 full years on this land it feels like we're finally established with a burning mission and bright dreamd, and now we can REALLY get started ✨️

In honor of the Matriarchal Nordic Goddess, Queen F***g, this lymph-loving breast massage oil will moisturize your skin, improve breast tissue health, increase circulation, and stimulate your lymphatic system. Breast massage should be a critical part of every wise woman's self-care routine!

🌿These herbs work in synchronicity with your lymph nodes to help improve drainage & the elimination of toxins. Our lymphatic system is critical for filtering out bacteria & cancer cells along with creating white blood cells to fight off infections & it needs to be stimulated via touch.

🌿A massage from you or your partner is always a nice idea, but specifically for lymphatic drainage it involves light, gentle strokes to move fluid toward healthy lymph nodes, typically focusing on movements away from swelling. Start by stimulating the lymph nodes in your armpit and collarbone area with light circles. Then, use gentle, sweeping motions from the inner and lower parts of the breast outward and toward the armpit, and from the outer parts of the breast down and out toward the armpit.

Here's a recent review:

"My Mother had breast cancer & I'm very conscious of checking myself regularly. This oil makes that process a beautiful, loving, caring experience. The oil is so nice, glides right on & is soaked up so quickly. I actually feel that my breast health has improved and a huge benefit is that my b***s are much perkier after this practice hah!"

We have six lovely beeswax salves to choose from to support your skin health going into winter. All of our balms are made with organic ingredients and fresh plant material harvested at their peak medicinal quality to ensure their potency. The local beeswax is also incredibly protective and healing for your skin, leaving it silky smooth after applying.

✨Maybe you've been busy chopping wood and need some Pain Salve for your shoulders, or a rogue log of maple slammed against your shin and you need the Bruise Balm.

✨Maybe your hands are becoming drying out, becoming scaly and chapped from the winter wind and you need the North Woods Salve.

✨Maybe you're looking down at your scratched up forearms from picking too many raspberries earlier this year and want the Scar Salve to help fade them.

✨Or maybe you're in need of some inspiration with the Dream Balm or are tired of your man's rough beard so you get him Odin's Beard Balm for some relief.

All of these will be available in the 11/25 Shop Update!

Whew, what a year it has been already.

Hard to believe the holiday season is almost upon us. I am busy in the Apothecary for the upcoming weeks getting everything prepped for our holiday sale.

This time of year is such a juxtaposition with natural law. Our earth is going to rest, calling us inward, to slow down, to be quiet and still, to nourish ourselves as we enter the darkest part of the year.

And there's also a frantic holiday frenzy filled with travel, family, gifts, consumerism, and chaos. Pushing, pushing, pushing into the new year with new goals for a new you.

When do we rest & take care of ourselves? There's such a mix of grief, excitement, gratitude & unrealistic expectations in the holiday season, it's SO important to take care of ourselves. This stress & increased indoor time can cause a lot of illness as well.

I hope you can lean into our herbal remedies during these times. We WILL be having our big sale this year, with an early shopping period for newsletter subscribers so make sure you're receiving those!

I'm almost ready to drop everything & rest but still have some prepping to do before that happens. We will have lots of herbal body oils, elixirs, salves, teas, tonics & some special seasonal items for you & your loved ones this season.

Can't wait to share more with you soon!

WYRD is an Ancient Nordic concept that describes our fate, our destiny, as woven by the Norns. This calming oil made with fresh lavender grown on our land soothes nerves and releases tension, allowing our destiny to unfold as it has been foretold.

This lovely lavender oil helps us release our need for control and surrender to our fate. In Norse Mythology, the concept of Wyrd relates to our fate, our destiny, the path that has been foretold by the Norns.

The Norns sit at the base of Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life, weaving and predicting the paths and fates for us all. Do you need help surrendering and allowing your path to unfold before you?

This oil has a lovely scent and is incredibly soothing for our nervous system, and deeply relaxing. It's wonderful for supporting deep sleep, helping with anxiety and stress, easing belly aches, burns, cut scrapes - you name it!

Hope you can join us this Sunday for our last market of the season!

:: BRUISE BALM ::

A gentle beeswax salve for easing the tenderness, bruising, and swelling that can come from injuries, strains, sprains & all types of other activities. The arnica-infused oil greatly improves healing time and provides quick relief to the injury site.

Our homegrown Arnica flowers are infused in an organic oil to extract all the medicinal benefits, which are absorbed through the skin when applying this beeswax balm. Arnica is wonderful for healing the delicate soft tissue injuries, fading bruises, easing sore muscles, and supporting an optimal healing process for these types of injuries.

Here's a recent review:

"Wow, I am so grateful to have found this. I got a nasty bruise on my arm from a horse and this worked so well to heal it up. The bad purple faded really quickly and the tenderness subsided too. I already bought more because I don't want to go without this on the farm."

it has been a WILD year. how is it already mid-october?!

Now that the growing season has come to an end & there's more time for reflection, I'm amazed at what we've been able to accomplish in this cycle of the wheel of the year. My personal life has been filled to the absolute brim with glorious twists & turns, challenges & triumphs. My capricornian self has felt like I'm getting nothing done at times, but when I zoom out it's kind of incredible what we achieved despite all the obstacles & setbacks.

Earlier this year, we were officially recognized by as a botanical sanctuary. We planted hundreds of native wildflowers, expanded the orchard, expanded the gardens and had baskets of fresh medicinal herbs constantly shuffling in & out of the apothecary. We expanded our product line, invested in new packaging, took on more wholesale accounts & made big improvements to the website. We received a grant to grow even more med

There is more brewing behind the scenes than I can share right now, but I'm hopeful to have more energy to share with you in this space soon as the physical demands of the season wind down!
