I am a novice herbalist and am interested in any classes you may have or of any other herbal classes in the area. I’m in Millbrook. Thanks, Margot
hi margot
i will be happy to let you know next time i schedule a class!
thank you chris for your interest. what i have here is mostly medicinal herbs, mainly in tincture, tea and salve forms. i don’t know how well that would work for a restaurant. however, you can e-mail me at fellowworkersfarm@gmail.com to give me more specific info on what you are looking for, i may be open to growing something next spring.

Hi, I came across your post from the Herbwifery. I wondered if you could help me with a recipe for pine tar salve. (also looking for soap recipe too with pine tar) My husband and daughter both have psoriasis and I recently started making lye soap. I have never tried making a tincture (of course they would definately think Mom had lost it) but I believe in these types of healing. I love making new things. Any help and I would be greatful. Thanks Vickie
hi vickie
in order to make pine sap salve you must first collect the sap. then you make the oil. finally, add beeswax. it is a good salve for excema-type stuff but remember: topical things can help but won’t cure. you are most likely to cure from the inside out. herbs that support the liver are important-we have 4 main organs of elimination-liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. if one is taxed /stressed/weak in some way others take on more of the burden of elimination. burdock and dandelion are common liver herbs and are generally considered safe. however, i recommend getting the advice of an herbalist! you are smart to make your own soap-definitely eliminate scented soap and detergents. also, go ahead and make a tincture if you want to-it’s fun and rewarding.
good luck!
Hi,
I recently bought your Astragalus Rt tincture, and was wondering what kind of dose you suggested. I am taking it for immune support.
Thanks,
Sarah
dear sarah,
i am primarily a herb grower and forager and generally do not/cannot give out medical advice. i recommend you consult with an herbalist or natural doctor. i will tell you that i personally would take approximately 1/3-1/2 dropper 2 or 3 x day to help the immune system. however, dosage very much depends on size, body type, age and overall health, this is why a consultation is helpful.
just started using your teasel root tincture, hoping for some movement with the lyme/fibromyalgia symptoms, and noticed you are in my homeland, little rhody!
all the best,
