Good Morning beautiful people.
The rain was steady yesterday , and honestly, our sandy soil needed every drop.
I’m loving the cooler temperatures, and it’s a welcome break for both the flowers and the farmer!
I wish I could say I spent the day resting and taking it easy but it was a restocking day.
I made a fresh batch of our Natural Deodorant after receiving an order for 3 more.
We have a regular customer who likes to stock up with 6 at a time!
It was also Calendula Salve time and these 2 oz tins are looking beautiful!
These are also a customer favorite.
Calendula is one of my favorite herbs for skin care. We grow the flowers right here on the farm, carefully dry them, then infuse them into oil to create our salve.
I also add plantain and comfrey—two traditional herbs known for supporting healthy skin and helping soothe life’s little bumps, scrapes, and irritations.
While we won’t be at the farmers market until next week, I’ll be busy replenishing soap, tallow products, and other customer favorites.
Rainy days may slow down field work, but they sure don’t slow down the apothecary!
What are you working on during this cooler weather?
Have a wonderful day!
