This one was difficult to write. I spent almost a decade handing out nutrition and supplement protocols. When you finally see it, you can’t unsee it. I’m open to questions and respectful conversation.

Ginger and garlic are not only incredibly delicious but one of the best known medicinal herb combos. Both are antimicrobial and full of antioxidants. Herbalists know that properly combining herbs can have a much more significant effect. It also happens to be my favorite way to start pretty much any Asian dish. I always have both fresh & dried ginger on hand. Fresh is delicious and amazing for inflammation, but dried WAY outperforms for gas and bloating. Garlic is my go to for earaches & generally support during seasonal illness.

A little organic coffee with some leftover sourdough bread pudding made with cinnamon swirl bread. Tastes even better in the sunshine!

This warm winter weather is providing some useful herb growth. These beauties happened to pop up in the gravel. It’s usually best to identify purple dead nettle when flowering, but I am familiar with this particular plant and where it grows on the farm. It’s highly nutritious and can be used for digestive support as a laxative tea. It’s known to boost energy and help with hormonal balance in women. Not safe for pregnancy however.

Nothing hits quite like a homemade butternut squash soup with toasted sprouted pumpkin seeds, sour cream, and curtido! This one was spiced with a little organic Calabrian pepper sauce. So good!!

Chestnuts roasting over an open fire is actually really lovely! A huge thanks to for providing such an iconic, tasty treat for the holiday! I highly recommend dipping them in chocolate and/or salted butter. The leftovers made and incredible addition to beef stew!

I know this subject is a lot, and obviously just my opinion. I am no expert, just an ordinary person living my life and observing. I’ve thought about this topic for decades and don’t want to dress it up or sandwich at between compliments. Sending out lots of love to the ladies (and gents) stuck in a core belief that makes them feel like they are not enough. ❤️

Agaricus campestris (pink meadow mushroom) is my favorite forage on the farm so far. This is a close relative to the grocery store variety button mushroom but so much tastier! It grows in perfect little fairy rings.
