Fresh Herbs Available Seasonally
Fresh Elencampane Root
Sold out
Only available until October 8th!
This is a chance for you to use Elencampane, Inula helenium, fresh for your own preparations you might be interested in making such as tincturing. Most herbs I prefer to tincture with fresh, and this can give you the opportunity to see the plant, and experience it first hand and not just as a dried powdered up herb that many might only be used to seeing it as.
Elencampane is a super massive plant in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, that grows really well here in Montana, I am very drawn and love everything about this towering yellow flowered plant. Typically used as a really wonderful expectorant to help rid your body of awful wet mucus and coughs, it is also a wonderful bitter herb, and digestive aid. I love making this root into honey syrups to have around for when the cough season is bad.
I hope you enjoy this opportunity to play with this fresh root before I turn the rest of them into a dried powder!

Fresh Valerian Root
Sold out
Only available until October 8th!
This is a chance for you to use Valerian, Valeriana officinalis, fresh for your own preparations you might be interested in making such as tincturing. Most herbs I prefer to tincture with fresh, and this can give you the opportunity to see the plant, and experience it first hand and not just as a dried powdered up herb that many might only be used to seeing it as.
Valerian is a wonderful perennial plant that is excellent for growing in Montana, and there are native varieties, that grow here, but these are farm grown. The beautiful white and pink flowers in the spring smell like vanilla, but then, most folks believe this root when harvested to smell like stinky feet. Fortunately, I do not think it smells like stinky feet and in fact it more makes me think of a spicy vinegar type smell, which is one of my favorite ways to prepare it in an oxymel (vinegar, honey infusion) that I then use in drinks or take a swig before bedtime. Typically used as a gentle sedative to help folks with sleep issues. It also calms the body down, and can help with depressive and anxious episodes that can come from not being relaxed enough.
I hope you enjoy this opportunity to play with this fresh root before I turn the rest of them into a dried powder or tinctures!
*Can be shipped over dry ice
1 root, can be anywhere from 6oz-10oz+ in weight.
