There’s something special about eating food you grew yourself, especially when it traveled with you from one farm to the next.
These nopales came from cactus we brought with us from our old farm in Watsonville, and today, they became lunch.
Earthy, tangy, and nourishing, they’re more than just delicious — they’re medicine. High in fiber, anti-inflammatory, and supportive of blood sugar balance.
Recipe: Cast Iron Nopales
Ingredients:
2-3 fresh nopales (cactus paddles), cleaned and de-spined
2 cloves of fresh garlic, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Olive oil, for cooking and finishing.

Directions:
Rinse and pat dry. Scrape off any remaining spines or rough edges.
Slice each paddle into strips or leave whole, depending on your preference.
Heat the pan and add a small splash of olive oil to coat the surface.
Warm your cast iron skillet at high heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30–60 seconds, just until fragrant and golden (not burned).
Push the garlic to the side or remove it temporarily to prevent overcooking.
Place the nopales in the cast iron pan and let them sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until they develop a nice char and soften.
Stir the garlic back in if you set it aside.
Remove from heat, squeeze fresh lime juice over the nopales, and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Drizzle with a bit more olive oil for that luscious finish.

Sometimes, healing doesn’t require a lot, just a small drop of our Rest Relief Full Spectrum Oil (FSO) can help calm your body and quiet your mind. Rest Relief works with your body’s natural rhythms to not only help you fall asleep but also stay asleep longer by easing tension and reducing restlessness. Paired with a spoonful of honey, this gentle ritual supports deep, restorative rest and soothes you into relaxation. We believe in the power of whole plant medicine in its purest, simplest form, because sometimes the smallest doses bring the biggest relief.

On this , we honor the living systems that sustain us — the soil beneath our feet, the forests that breathe for us, the fungi that feed the roots, and the waters that move life forward.
This calendula flower, blooming in our garden, is more than beautiful — it’s medicine, pollinator food, and a symbol of what happens when we let nature lead. 🌼
At Bird Valley, we live by one rule: give more than we take.
That means farming regeneratively, composting, building with salvaged materials, foraging with respect, and growing food and medicine in harmony with the Earth.
And the good news? You don’t need land to make a difference.
Here are a few simple ways we’re reducing our impact — and you can too:
🌍Bring your own jars or bags and buy in bulk instead of packaged goods
🌍Choose glass or reusable containers over plastic
🌍Swap paper towels for washable cloths
🌍Thrift instead of buying new — it’s better for the planet and your style
🌍Compost your kitchen scraps — even a countertop bin helps
🌍Support local, organic, and regenerative farms
🌍Grow a few herbs or veggies — a sunny windowsill is all you need 🌍 compost your Bird Valley FSO box when finished
Every small step adds up — just like every calendula seed planted becomes something bright, healing, and alive. 🌍💚

This week, we opened up our carefully saved bags of seeds — each one gathered by hand from the strongest, most vibrant plants in our old Watsonville garden. These seeds carry stories: of abundance, resilience, and the generosity of a garden that gave more than it took.
We’re a little late getting seeds in the ground this year — but that’s okay. What matters most is how we grow.
This season, we’re planting with intention — using our own seeds and, for the first time, compost we’ve been patiently tending. It’s finally breaking down into rich, living soil — another closed loop, feeding the future from the past.
This is regenerative farming in action. Saving seeds, reducing waste, building soil, and letting the land teach us what thrives.
Whether you’ve got a balcony or a backyard, growing from your own seeds and compost is one of the most powerful steps toward food sovereignty and sustainability.
Every seed we plant today is a thank you to the plant that came before it. 🌱

Curious minds are our favorite kind.
At Bird Valley, we believe education is part of the medicine. Here are some of the most common questions we get—and informed, experience-based answers to support your wellness path:
Can I give it to my pet?
Yes. Our high-CBD oil is clean with pet-safe ingredients and may support mobility, calm, and general wellness in animals. Dosage should be based on weight and condition—always start small and observe how your pet responds.

Will it get me high?
No. Our formulas contain high levels of CBD and only trace amounts of THC (below 0.3%), staying well under the threshold that causes psychoactivity. They’re designed for those seeking therapeutic effects without the “high.”

How should I store my FSO?
Store your oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve cannabinoid integrity and potency. A pantry or medicine cabinet works great.

How much do I use?
We recommend starting with a grain-of-rice-sized amount, especially for full-spectrum oils. This provides a gentle, effective entry point—particularly for those new to FSO. Every body is different, start low, go slow, and listen to your system.

Can I use it during the day?
Yes. Our Anytime Relief oil supports calm focus and balanced energy throughout the day. For evening use, formulas with higher THC content or relaxing terpenes are more appropriate such as Rest Relief oil. We encourage tuning into your body’s rhythm.

Can it help during cancer treatment?
While we cannot make medical claims, many clients choose our Body Relief FSO during cancer care to support quality of life. Its full-spectrum cannabinoid profile may help ease pain, inflammation, appetite loss, and restlessness.Pairing this oil with our High-CBD blend and a whole foods diet can complement a holistic approach. As always, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Hi, I’m Terry—and together with my partner Manny, we built Bird Valley Organics with our hands in the soil and our hearts wide open.
What began in 2011 as a bold move from Florida—with our 4 dogs, a cat, a few seeds of hope, and a deep desire to live closer to nature—has grown into something far greater than we imagined. After six years of farming in Watsonville, we returned to our original land in the redwoods, where we’re now rebuilding a regenerative farm rooted in healing, learning, and connection.
Whether we’re teaching others how to build living soil, or sharing our story at vendor days, this work is more than a job—it’s our passion. We love getting our hands dirty, guiding others, and advocating for the power of plants and the health of the land.
At Bird Valley, everything is grown with intention. No shortcuts. No chemicals. Our Full-Spectrum Oil (FSO) is at the heart of what we do. Crafted from regeneratively grown cannabis, it captures the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and healing compounds the plant has to offer. Whether you’re adding to food, applying it topically, or shared with your pets, our FSO supports the body gently and powerfully—helping to ease pain, calm the nervous system, support sleep, reduce inflammation, and restore balance.
When you support Bird Valley Organics you’re standing behind a regenerative mission, a family farm, and a belief that true healing comes from the ground up.
We’re so grateful to grow with you. 🌱

Menopause isn’t a sentence—it’s a shift. Here are the top 3 ways our community is using our oil to support themselves through it. From calming the nervous system to balancing hormones, plant medicine has your back.
—Supporting Hormonal Balance—
CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in regulating hormones. By influencing the ECS, CBD may help stabilize mood swings and promote emotional well-being during menopause.
—Enhancing Sleep Quality—
Sleep disturbances are common during menopause. FSO has been studied for its potential to improve sleep by addressing factors like anxiety and discomfort . Many women find that taking a small amount of our FSO before bedtime helps them achieve more restful sleep.
—Alleviating Physical Discomfort—
Menopause can bring about joint pain and inflammation. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties may offer relief from such discomforts, making daily activities more manageable.
Need Personalized Guidance?
Every individual’s experience with menopause is unique. If you have questions or need assistance tailoring our FSO to your needs, feel free to reach out through the ‘Contact Us’ page on our website or send us a direct message. We’re here to support your journey.

What Is Full-Spectrum Oil?
What Does Full-Spectrum Really Mean?
It’s more than just a trendy term—it’s the whole plant, working together to support your healing.
🔹 CBD Isolate
Pure, isolated cannabidiol (CBD)—nothing else. No THC, no terpenes, no plant synergy. While it can be useful, many people find it lacks the depth and effectiveness of whole-plant medicine.
🔹 Broad-Spectrum
Includes CBD plus other cannabinoids and terpenes, but typically no THC. It’s more complete than isolate, but still missing key elements of the plant’s full profile.
🔹 Full-Spectrum (FSO)
This is what we make. Our Full-Spectrum Oil (FSO) is extracted using the entire plant, capturing cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, lipids, and chlorophyll, —all working in harmony.
This powerful combo creates what’s known as the “Entourage Effect”—where all parts of the plant enhance each other’s benefits, resulting in deeper, more balanced healing.
Whether you’re using it for pain, sleep, mood, or overall wellness, full-spectrum oil supports your body’s natural systems more completely—because your body recognizes it as whole, just like nature made it.

At Bird Valley, we keep it true to the plant—clean, regenerative, and full-spectrum.
