Grateful for many hands that helped to bring in th Grateful for many hands that helped to bring in the tomatoes when the threat of frost came. ‘Tis the time of year when our house fills up with the harvest. Green tomatoes will ripen still once picked, so we go through them as they do, making sauce, salsa and dry some too. So many monster squash this year, baskets of pears and beans, peppers... The bounty is our blessing. A thousand thank yous for so many reasons to The Sacred Gardener School folks. We love you and are deeply grateful for what you’ve given us, and offered to the land. We see and feel you here every day. Thank you, as always to @hemmingmaryanna for documenting our time. #harvest #autumn #puttingfoodby #foodpreservation #sacredgardener #sacredgardenerschool
It was a gorgeous day here to do some sweetfern ha It was a gorgeous day here to do some sweetfern harvesting. A full day and around 100lbs fresh! Our hands are thick with the oils and our herb barn smells incredible. Such a beauty. Sweetfern is one of the first shrubs to move back into a field, in the transition back into someday being a forest, which is what this land where we live wants to be. Steven calls this procession of plants the ‘parade of healers’. Sweetfern is known well for their liver supporting/cleansing ability, toning the gut to help heal leaky gut, and is helpful in the treatment and clearing of acne. Just a few of this one’s offerings. Also, very tasty tea ! #sweetfern #landregeneration #herbs #wildplants #wildmedicine #herbalmedicine #beyourownhealer

There’s so many mushrooms popping up with the immense amount of rain we’ve had. #fungi #fall #autumn #autumnrain #magicmushrooms #storiesfromtheland

A lot of the fruit that sets early in the season i A lot of the fruit that sets early in the season is lean this year, because of the spring dryness. Our burr oaks have plenty of nuts though. Burr oaks are the most drought resistant oak, so a good one to plant in these uncertain times. #drought #oak #burroak #climatechange #droughtresistant #nativeplants #nativetrees

They are delicious sliced, breaded and fried up. Most of them we’ll slice and dry in our solar dehydrator then powder and add into our nut cheeses and to flavour and thicken soups, mix with salt as a rub for meats... so many experiments yet to come with the size of this crop!! We’ll make sure to leave a couple to spore out for next year’s crop. #wildmushroom #puffballmushroom #wildedibles #forage #umami #localfood #summerrain #sacredgardener #sacredgardenerschool
Calendula flowers blooming in abundance. We pick a Calendula flowers blooming in abundance. We pick a round of flowers daily, some we dry for future teas and topical skin washes. We’ll wilt some (less water means less likelihood of mold) and infuse in oils, in part to make into cream. We’ll infuse some in alcohol for tincture. And, eat some in salads. Some will escape us and go to seed, falling to the ground to start we plants in the same spot next year. #calendula #edibleflower #medicine #herbalmedicine #naturalskincare
