About Us

In our neck of the woods, gardening is not just a hobby, it's a way of life. It was no different for our family. We moved into our homestead and immediately put ourselves to the task, anticipating great things. Vegetable gardening naturally led us into herbs, and it wasn't long before a small herb garden sprung up near our house.

Drying and using the herbs became a family practice as we all benefited from the "miracle" working plants, and delicious teas. After years of growing and drying herbs, and preparing remedies, it was quite evident that bulk herbs were not available to the public at a good price. And so, we decided to start a small herb business to benefit our friends, family and neighbors.

This was another opportunity to train the children in business, and further our knowledge of herbs and natural healing. Nathan, our second born son, was the first to wear the hat of "business manager". He established accounts with suppliers, published our first newsletter, and organized all our efforts.

After a few years, Nathan was a happily married man, and increasingly busy with a construction business to operate. It was then, that he passed the baton to his youngest sister, Shoshanna.

Shoshanna loves herbs, making special teas and oitments, and natural healing overall. With her ideas, talent and energy, she expanded our little family business by mailing out thousands of newsletters and managing an increasingly growing customer base, enlisting the help of family members and friends to lend a hand.

Did You Know?

Cayenne powder has been used by researchers in Antarctica to help them bare the extremely cold temperatures. The Cayenne powder is sprinkled into the boots before putting them on. As the powder slowly comes in contact with the skin through the socks, it will draw blood to the feet, thus bringing much needed warms to the extremities. The one draw back is the red powder stains light colored socks. From our readings, it seems the stained socks were a small price to pay for the great benefit of being able to feel your toes after a little while out in the blistering cold. After trying this on a number of occasions during the winter near lake Superior, I'm also convinced the stained socks are worth it.
