Harvested some fresh mint and thyme from my garden, and now have a big batch in my herb dryer. Once they are dry, they will go into organic oil and sit for 6-8 weeks, then get handpressed for our Peaceful Skincare Line. Thyme oil is our Baby Balm, and mint oil is in our Coffee Love Face Balm. I will also be adding mint lip balm soon.
I was so excited to see my mentor Rochelle from Legacy Home and Garden. She was so encouraging and supportive.
I also saw some friends from Hungry and Homesteading, Living The Hight Life, Front Yard Foods, Urban Homestead-Her, and Rangling The Rutherfords. The table next to me was a young entrepreneur from the Rutherford Family, Bold Faith Bakery. She spoke on starting a business and sold out of goodies by the afternoon. I was very impressed with how well-spoken, polite, and mature she was.
My 10 Herbs You Should Grow workshop received positive feedback, and it was so wonderful to meet so many people planning or just starting their homesteads.. I am looking forward to the September event and am honored to be offering another workshop.
Hope to see you there.
My first speaking engagement is tomorrow!! If you are attending Farm Where You Live Homesteading Festival in Asheville, NC, come check out my workshop 10 Herbs You Need To Grow.
Each one will have a culinary, medicinal, garden, and livestock use. Handouts are ready and hot off the press. See you at 9 am Workshop Tent B.
I have had so much fun researching and preparing for my workshop at The Farm Where You Live Festival coming April 15th in Asheville, NC
How did I narrow down all the amazing herbs you can grow just down to 10!?!
Each herb we will talk about will have a culinary use, benefit your garden, benefit your livestock, and have medicinal properties.
What herb would you have on this list?
