A mild digestive bitter, intended for use before or after eating. This is not a cocktail bitter, but more of a way to keep digestion moving smoothly, to keep bloating and discomfort to a minimum when we've perhaps overindulged. Brandy infused with Yarrow leaves and flowers, chamomile flowers, fennel seed and orange peel, either grown here on the farm or sourced organically.

Feel a cold coming on? This elixir can help shorten the duration with elderberries, ginger, calendula, rose hips, orange peel and mullein (lung tonic). Brandy is the base for extraction and honey is added, both which are calming and soothing to irritated tissues of the respiratory system. Since this contains honey, it is not for use in children under the age of one year old. For adults, we use 1-2 dropper full up to 3 times a day at the onset of cold or flu. Some of the ingredients like calendula, elderberry, ginger and mullein are grown on our farm. We enjoy making small batch remedies in our certified kitchen on the farm.

I never realized how many inch worms live in the flowers of the tropical Albizia, or more well known as Mimosa, flowers. Collected and (worms removed to a more appropriate place) infused in organic cane alcohol, shaken often and decanted after 8 weeks, it is now ready for your herbal collection. Known as the Happy Herb, you can imagine that this would be a handy extract to have on hand. It’s been helpful in cases of panic, insomnia, times of distress and may be helpful to PTSD conditions. Contact your physician, especially if pregnant, as I am a grower and maker, and haven’t been to medical school! But I hear it’s generally considered to be safe.

Gift of the Bees Extract is made in our certified farm kitchen. Made from our hive's Propolis ~ cleaned and extracted, Blended with our wildflower honey infused with sage and thyme. Propolis is a very sticky substance the bees make from tree and plant resins, adding their own wax. The bees use it to protect the health of the colony, to protect their hive from disease, including the effects of intruders (mice and other critters have been found in hives, coated with propolis to protect the bees from disease). The compounds in propolis provide immune defense and antioxidant properties. Studies are showing propolis as a potential therapeutic and preventive agent, as an antimicrobial, wound healer, cardio-protector and optimizer of neural function (ncbi.nim.nih.gov "Evidence on the Health Benefits of Supplemental Propolis). Our intention in making this product is to provide alternative options for those who may not be able or choose not to take prescription or over the counter drugs. We are not medical doctors and do not intend to diagnose, treat, cure of prevent any disease.
