April CSA Share


April showers bring May flowers and we couldn't be happier for it!



Spring Cleanse Elixir
Comfrey, Plantain, Evening Primrose, Violet Leaf, Flowering Skullcap, Lavender, Rosemary, Honey, Blackberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Honey, Agave, Organic Sugar, ALC 40%
Jump into spring with our delicious berry elixir! It's intended to awaken all parts of the body and act as a tonic to our sleepy winter systems. Nutritive and tasty, add to tea, water, juice, or take a spoonful on it's own, 1-3x daily

Deep Forest Salve
Pine resin, Self Heal, Elder Leaf, Olive Oil, Local Beeswax
A wonderful removal/moving salve. Great for splinters, slivers, bug bites, spider bites and any deep old wounds that are taking to long to heal.Pine is great for moving blood thus it works wonders on old yellow or green bruises, and wonderful for sore muscles and topical pain related to bruising or sore muscles. This salve is harder then our typical salves due to the resin +, scrape out some with the flat of your nail and warm between fingers for easier application

Spring Renewal Tea/Tisane
Nettles, Red Clover, Alfalfa, Linden Flower, Hawthorn Berries, Blueberry Leaf, Licorice
This falls into the category of what I call a "green tisane" (A tisane is any tea that does not contain the tea plant. Most of our herbal teas are actually tisanes.) A Green Tisane, is a tisane that is nourishing and full of lots of vitamins and minerals that come from green foods. Nettle, red clover, and alfalfa based teas fall into this category. Nettles are high in iron, calcium and magnesium. Red clover is particularly high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin C. Alfalfa is rich in calcium, vitamins A, K, C, and D. Linden flowers have been used in folk medicine to relieve anxiety and insomnia. This tisane is pairs quite nicely with a splash of our Spring Cleanse Elixir!

Osha Tincture
Osha, Honey, ALC 40%
Osha is an intoxicating plant that hails from the high altitudes of the Rocky Mountains. Warming and diffusing, this root has a specific affiliation with the lungs. Works wonders against respiratory infections, and achy sore throats. It's an expectorants to it will draw out congestion in the lungs as well. Take 1/2 dropper to full dropper full 3x day for 5 days, resting for 2 and repeat.

Tasty and full of probiotics for healthier gut flora and an important dose of antioxidants for fighting free radicals
