I've dug up a large patch of comfrey. If anyone is interested in taking some, you're welcome to it. There are loose plants and also bare roots available. Even a small piece of the root is enough to get it started. Comfrey is also known an knit bone. Its roots can be extracted to make healing salves. The greens are great rabbit food and the roots reach deep to bring up nutrients from below tree roots to help feed orchard trees. Keep an eye on them though as it is an aggressive grower. They grow about 3 feet tall, love sun and tolerate shade, and bumblebees love the purple flowers. I am located west of Shell Lake, WI, just south of Hertel. Message me if you need the store address. I will put them in a container on the porch of the store for a couple of days, take what you want!

I have two new soaps for the season. Black Raspberry Vanilla and Tangerine Grapefruit. The Black Raspberry Vanilla is a subtle berry and vanilla combination that is sweet but not overpowering, and the Tangerine Grapefruit is a vibrant citrus with a sweet tangerine addition. Both are great but I'm leaning toward the tangerine for summer.

We roadtripped today and brought home some spicy friends. They're the bees' knees! Sorry, couldn't help it. Ive wanted to try this variety for a while and this is the year. We're loaded up with adorable chicks now too because chicken math and chicken addictions are real over here. Next week holds a special date for me so I've been back at it in celebration. Let our next stage begin!

Hopefully spring is underway and we can all decide if it's time to put the shovels and boots away or keep them handy a little longer. I've been making simmer pots lately to help with sinus congestion so I figured I'd put a couple of my current blend in the store. While they do smell good, they are medicinal herbs and are not intended to be used solely as an air freshener. Just pour the packet in slowly simmering water and inhale the vapors through your nose. They last for approximately 18 hours before losing their kick. If they're boiled, they'll lose effectiveness sooner.
