Migraines seem to be touching more and more lives, from teenagers and college students to women moving through perimenopause and menopause.

In the latest Gathering Basket, Emily shares what she has been observing in her own work with Skullcap, a gentle nervine traditionally used to support the nervous system. While research has not yet studied Skullcap specifically for migraines, consistent daily use has made a meaningful difference for several people in her life who experience them.

The blog takes a closer look at why Skullcap may be worth exploring, what we know about its relationship with the nervous system, and how Emily has been using it as both an extract and a daily tisane. She also shares a simple Nervous-System Tisane recipe made with Skullcap, Nettles, and Milky Oats.

This is not a cure or a clinical study, but rather an invitation to learn more about a plant that continues to surprise us with the many ways it can offer support.

Sometimes a new chapter begins with an idea, a longing, or a vision that hasn’t fully taken root yet. 🌿

Emily’s coaching sessions offer a space to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what matters most. Through Gestalt coaching, she helps clients explore the questions, patterns, and possibilities shaping their work and their lives, creating space for greater clarity and alignment.

These sessions may be especially supportive for those navigating a transition, building a purpose-driven business, bringing a meaningful idea to life, or seeking a more integrated way of living.

Emily brings decades of experience in farming, herbalism, leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal reinvention, while holding space for each client to uncover their own wisdom and path forward.

✨ Introductory coaching rates are available through November.

We’re so happy to introduce Thistle Moon Farmstead in Wilton, Maine, stewarded by Stephanie Henley and Mat Bickford.

Their farm is home to heirloom highbush blueberries first planted in the 1940s, along with native herbs, edible flowers, vegetables, and botanicals grown with care through regenerative, biodynamic, and organic practices. Stephanie’s work as an herbalist, clinical aromatherapist, and licensed aesthetician also shapes their beautiful line of seed-to-skin body products, including handcrafted soaps, Rosewater Toner, Botanical Facial Steam, and more.

This summer, you can visit the farm for U-Pick blueberries through the end of August, or explore their herbal teas and body products in our online marketplace.

We’re honored to share their story and their thoughtful work with you.

Lemon Balm is one of those plants I can’t walk past without reaching down to touch a leaf. Its bright lemon scent rises immediately, and when it flowers, the bees seem to find it before anyone else does.

In the newest blog, I’m sharing more about how I grow and harvest Lemon Balm, why regular cutting is the secret to keeping it well behaved, and how I use the dried leaf for tea, tincture, and infused oil. I also share some of the ways I reach for it when stress settles into the nervous system or the stomach, along with one of my favorite cooling summer tea blends.

Based in Dryden, New York, Regenerative Mycology is an off-grid mushroom farm led by Certified Mushroom Forager Darren Johnson. His work is rooted in regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, sustainable foraging, and a deep respect for the forest ecosystems that make mushroom cultivation possible.

From carefully cultivated turkey tail and reishi to sustainably foraged mushrooms, every harvest is timed with close attention to freshness, flavor, and potency. Darren also shares his knowledge through mushroom forays, cultivation workshops, and community events.

Last month’s Apothecary Box featured Wood Betony, a beloved herb for grounding, tending the nervous system, and supporting the body through moments of tension and overwhelm.

This month, we’re turning toward Lemon Balm.

July’s Apothecary Box features 1 oz of dried Lemon Balm, 1 oz of Lemon Balm extract, and 1 oz of Lemon Balm oil, all grown and crafted by hand here at the farm.

In the fullness of summer, Lemon Balm feels like just the right plant to spend time with. Bright, calming, gently uplifting, and deeply loved, it’s one of our favorite herbs to add fresh to water for our farm hands to enjoy throughout the day.

Each Apothecary Box is created to help you slowly build your home apothecary while deepening your relationship with one plant at a time.

Available as a monthly subscription or as a one-time purchase. Only 50 boxes are offered each month, so we encourage you to reserve yours early.
