An-tea-histamine Stinging Nettle Tea🌿

Ohhhh it’s that lovely time of year where again, where pollen is floating around, our eyes are puffy and the tickle in your throat won’t go away.🤧

Did you know?:

When Stinging Nettle is dried it removes the stinging sensation but leaves all of the medicinal benefits. Nettle’s anti-histamine properties make it an excellent remedy for treating allergies and hay fever. Nettle is high in calcium, iron, protein, potassium, vitamins A,C,K &
B because of these nutritional values nettle supports the liver and aids as a general tonic tea to fortify and re-build energy when feeling tired or overworked.
Nettle may be our An-Tea-Histamine relief but it is also an overall wellness tea.

So, with a little help from our pointy friends we have made a tea to help remedy your seasonal allergies.💚

You can find our teas at Hello Feed or come see us in person at Tombolo Multicultural Festival NL this Saturday 10am-4pm at Bennett Hall 11 West street Corner Brook.

Foraging isn’t just a passing trend, it’s a calling and pull to return to nature.

If you have been feeling that quiet pull to step into the nature, to slow down and to learn the language of the wild, this is your sign.

Join our next foraging tour, be a part of the experience, gain confidence and savour the wild harvest.✨🌿

Pickled fiddleheads 🌿
Food preservation is really important to us as food producers and foragers.

We wish we could keep fresh wild greens coming all year long.. alas Mother Nature can’t do that.
So we return to canning, pickling, dehydrating, fermenting to preserve freshness & flavour of our produce.

Coming to a market near you:
🌶️Hot pickled Fiddleheads
🫙Mustard pickled Fiddleheads

We will be preserving and dehydrating EVERYTHING so nothing goes to waste🥰

What will you be canning, preserving or dehydrating this season? Let us know in the comments.

A big thank you to NL Federation of Agriculture and O'Brien Farm Foundation for inviting me to come to St Johns and speak this past weekend.

Here was talked about the safe and effective operation of the 606NT seeder.
I was joined by many other inspiring farmers.
It was a great opportunity to get together, share and learn.

Looking forward to the next one in Labrador🚜 July, 2026.
