We're excited to announce our 2013 Herbal CSA!
Herbs are an important component of healthy living, and you deserve access to them! For us “CSA” means Community Supported Apothecary, which we envision as a project to help people reclaim practical knowledge of herbs while also establishing local repositories for herbs and herbal preparations. Our CSA members receive a monthly share of excellent botanicals, information about them, and advice on using them. We cultivate many of the herbs we use and practice ethical wildcrafting. Sourcing plants from local farms and home gardens means that the herbs are potent, fresh, and of course free of chemicals.
In our CSA, you can expect a box full of herbal preparations that are ready to use in your own home and apothecary. These products are all made in small batches from homegrown, wildcrafted, and occasionally purchased herbs. We publish information about our botanicals on our blog, wildroseapothecary.blogspot.com.
This year, we will have CSA boxes available monthly from July through December. Members have the option of buying a full 6-month share for $240, or purchasing boxes monthly for $50 each. Boxes can be picked up on the first Wednesday of each month, as long as arrangements have been made in advance (i.e., signing up).
A typical box will include several of the following (according to availability):
a tasty, honey sweetened elixir or cordial
a tincture in alcohol, glycerin, or vinegar
a salve made with infused oils and beeswax
a decadent cream, lotion bar, or spray for the body
a bath sachet or bath salt blend
a blend of dried herbs for tea
kombucha (upon request)
yummy snacks & other crafty bonuses (incense, hand dyed wool, etc.)
Full Share~ $240 for 6 months ($120 deposit due in July, and the balance due by October)
Monthly Share~ $50 for 1 month (depending on availability)
