This is one of my favorite tips! I read it in a 1960’s farmer’s almanac- static electricity (thunder) rains atmospheric nitrogen into the soil. OR semi-loosely tie pantyhose in a band around 2 metal T-posts and as the wind moves the nylon against the metal, static electrical pulses nitrogen zap down the T-post into the soil. Try it. You’ll see greener pastures!

I just watched an interview with Nita Ambani about the rich cultural diversity behind her Mumbai cultural center, and one line really stayed with me:

"Legacy is not something you leave behind. Legacy is something you nurture, you preserve... to pass on to future generations, that is a legacy that I would like to see."

At New Mettle Farms, this resonates as we enter our next phase of growth. We’re focusing on nurturing meaningful partnerships, preserving what we’ve built, and inspiring the next generation of learners, makers, and nature enthusiasts. 🌱

Did you know today is national cabbage day?!😮

Cabbage is more than just a tasty treat, it is also medicinal! Cabbage is rich in antioxidants, vitamins C & K. Some experts also believe that cabbage can fight inflammation and supports digestion.❤️‍🩹🥬

We had to share this with our beloved community! With All Our Love- Happy Violet Valentine’s Day!

Sweet Violet Valentine's Day to You!
Who is your herbal Valentine, do tell?

Grateful for this nourishing wild food and gentle powerful medicine.

Its heart-shaped leaf is a rich source of vitamin C + other nutrients, while offering a soothing touch to our skin and mucous membranes—and of course those lovely EDIBLE flowers!

To help with ID, harvest and use, here is our Violet Plant Map from Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook by Dina Falconi (me), illustrated by Wendy Hollender.

To see more about our book, please go to our site here: www.ForagingandFeasting.com

Today's Love Tea Mix:

This dry mix will make 4+ quarts of tea. Use 1 handful of mix per quart.

violet leaf 1 oz
hawthorn berry 1 oz
rosehip 1 oz
damiana 1/4 oz
rose 1/4 oz
ginger 1/4 oz
vanilla 1/8 oz
nutmeg pinch
licorice root pinch

To make: Crush herbs right before use. Place a handful of the herb mix (about 1oz by weight) into a quart mason jar. Pour boiling water over the herbs and fill the jar to the top. Cap tightly and let steep for 1-4 hours. Strain, gently reheat in a covered pot, and if desired, add warm cream or milk and a touch of honey. Enjoy!

Do you use violet, and if yes, how so?
