I finally attacked the 60 # block of raw beeswax I need to process to use in my skin care products.

I am a very small producer and am running this business on fumes and vibes much of the time, so I am saving money wherever I am able. Part of that is processing and fine filtering my own beeswax.

This process is laborious and magical simulation and reduces my per pound cost from around $9 per pound to around $2

Silver Fir Honeydew is the signature addition to my Elderberry Syrop. Harvested from pristine forests near Grant’s Grove, this honey carries big tree medicine in every delicate drop. 🌲🍯

Today I spent three hours chairing a mind-melding meeting of the CDFA CFM Regulations Subcommittee… and my brain is officially mush.

So the Syrop brewing will have to wait until tomorrow.

The good news? I re-upped on that sticky icky today. 😉

Sometimes the forest reminds us: good medicine takes time.

In the last few years leading up to my mentors death, we worked together to clear out much of what was in her basement, and she often would offer me boxes of whatnots that I could either take or toss and the stipulation was I couldnt look through it. Just take it. All.

Today I began clearing out my work storage in the garage and that meant consolidating things in boxes, including Jeannie's whatnot boxes.

I found an incredible box of firs, a reverance for which Jeanne and I shared.

Such a joy to smell through this box today.

RESTOCKED!

In all sizes including the mega 4 oz. Bottle which I primarily filled to use as a flex for my friends son who is destined to be a CPA or financial planner or investment banker or something along those lines as much as that little dude likes to talk dollas.

The most expensive bottle of product I make.

Flex Ease is my first post PICU product formulation.

This is one of the components of the product, my Tendon Taimer infusion of Gotu Kola, Comfrey in 2 forms & Ginger Root.

Once the infusion is complete I will fine strain and incorporate a portion into the final product. A creme that eases soft bone and tendon injury and encourages healing.

Another “first” as a parent of a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. 💜 Dialin' it all in.

Honestly? I’ve been training for this my whole life. 13 years of making herbal products taught me ratios, precision, and consistency — basically, how to do math on things that could kill you if you get them wrong.
🍎🥓🥚

So yeah… carb counting? I got this. My brain is already scheming ways to help her favorite restaurants and food makers make diabetic-friendly dishes.

Tragedy into → triumph - since 2004!

Let’s go. 💪✨

I am STOKED to share that we’ve officially been discharged and are on our way home. 💛

This diagnosis is life-changing for our entire family. In the coming weeks, my hours at the shoppe will likely shift as my daughter requires close monitoring and care while we find our new rhythm.

To top it off, I’ve also come down with the flu and will most likely miss Farmers Market tomorrow — which truly pains me.

I am deeply grateful for the love, support, and understanding from my VFMA Market family, my colleagues at the Farmers Market Alliance (I’m so sad to miss San Diego this weekend), and my incredible friends, family, customers, and community who reached out with encouragement during this incredibly challenging time.

This is just the beginning — and we can do hard things. 💪✨
