For the first time, I have harvested a fairly good sized batch of my own aloe vera gel! I’m looking forward to being able to use my own aloe in my products! It was a bit time consuming, but fairly easy process.
I froze the aloe vera gel in ice cube trays. As I need the gel I’ll be able to just weigh out the cubes for the amount I need and let them defrost. I always enjoy when I am able to use my own ingredients from start to finish. There is something very satisfying in that!
I had originally intended for December 16th to be my last day. However, due to some Christmas events, December 9th will now be my last regular business day of the 2023 Season.
Thank you to all those who shopped and visited this year! Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year!
I will be closed tomorrow (Friday), Nov. 10th to spend the day with our grandkids! I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause anyone! I will be open my regular hours (10-3) on Saturday.
I’m slowly but surely stocking up on some new items as well as the old favorites. Touch of Scents and Rollaways are pretty well stocked up, although I will continue to add more. I’ve been working on bottling my own essential oil blends so that you can enjoy your favorite scents in a variety of ways at home (infusing, adding to shampoos or laundry, etc.) or for making your own products. Lotions and room fresheners are back in stock. Still plugging away at getting all the teas blended, but quite a few are available now.
I will be closed on Thursday, October 19th. I am also going to be closed the entire Thanksgiving Weekend (Nov. 23, 24 & 25) to enjoy the holiday with family.
Saturday, December 16th will be my final day for the 2023 season. I do still accept orders for pick up during the winter and can open by appointment.
Oxymels are made by infusing herbs with apple cider vinegar and honey. A better known product that’s an oxymel is FIRE CIDER, which is a basic health tonic. (Especially during winter time!) I’m looking to offer a few more oxymels for those who need something a little more specific. Hawthorn and Hibiscus are excellent herbs for heart health and may help to regulate blood pressure.
Contains Hawthorn Leaf, Flowers & Berries, Hibiscus Flowers, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar & Raw, Local Honey.
4 oz. Bottle: $12.00
8 oz. Bottle: $20.00
I am also trying to expand with some blends in the tincture department. Digestive Bitters are taken before a meal to help get the stomach “juices” flowing. Contains Dandelion Root, Burdock Root, Cat’s Claw Bark, Orange Peel, Marshmallow Root, Angelica Root, Blessed Thistle, Yellow Dock Root, Ginger Root & Fennel Seed infused in 100 Proof Vodka.
1 oz. Dropper Bottle: $10.00
2 oz. Dropper Bottle: $18.00

Small, Medium or Large $5.00 / $7.00 / $10.00

Wild Cherry Cough Syrup. This is the ONLY time of year I can make it with FRESH WILD CHERRIES (picked by yours truly from trees right on our property) that taste yummy! When it’s gone, it’s gone until next fall.
4 oz. Bottle: $12.00
8 oz. Bottle: $20.00
Awaiting more roller bottles to get others, like Rollaway Anxiety, Bugs, Itch, Menstrual Cramps, Neuropathy & Scars, re-stocked. Coming soon, I promise!
As a sole proprietor, I love being able to offer one-on-one service, getting to know my customers and actually making products specifically requested by them. The down side, however, is that I have to close any time I have something going on during normal business hours. My regulars totally understand, but I worry about that new client who stops by and finds me closed when they thought I’d be open. I hate that, and I apologize for it, but it really can’t be helped. I hope you’ll accept that I go out of my way for you when I can, but I also sometimes have to close to accommodate my family as well.
That said, this has been an abnormally busy summer with much going on. At this point, I know I will be closed the following dates. Please always check my site or FB page if you are making a special trip over. For instance, even if it’s not a scheduled closure, maybe i don’t feel well and have to close. It’s just me – so things happen. Your understanding is ALWAYS appreciated! If you need something and I’m not available, I can try to work something out.
Shop will be closed on the following dates:
Saturday, July 29th
Saturday, Aug. 5th (May possibly open or open late. Working on that….)
Closed for week: Aug. 24, 25 & 26th (Annual Family Reunion)
I am always willing to open later on Thurs and Friday or by appointment if you need something. Just let me know. But also, please look for my products and visit Colleen’s Hair Salon, Treasure Trove and The Country Store at the NH Farm Museum for my products as well as others. These are such wonderful local businesses, and I am so proud to have my products available there!
May God bless you. Thank you for your interest in my herbal business. It is greatly appreciated.
It’s been such a crazy year but I am happy to report that I am going to get this shop open! Finally!
Something new this year is that I will be offering some great products from Simply Earth. I have come to really love this company and their products, and I think you will too. For laundry I’ll be carrying their laundry detergent sheets. You can even add essential oil right to them to freshen your laundry! Their Automatic Dishwasher tabs are so convenient! But my absolute favorite is the Swedish Dish Cloths! I don’t know how I lived without them, honestly! They replace up to 12 rolls of paper towels and you can compost them! Non-toxic products with less waste and packaging. Another plus is that 13% of purchases with Simply Earth go toward fighting human trafficking.
I have a couple new soaps too! My first ever with honey. (Raw and as local as I can get – from my wonderful neighbors!) I’ve never made a chamomile soap either. I hope these will become fast favorites!
Hope to see you in the shop! Thursday through Saturday, 10-3!
I have to push the season opening back another two weeks to Thursday, July 20th. I hate to do it, but life happened. I am just not ready, sadly. Hope to have all my ducks in a row and plenty of product ready for you then!
I am having to push the date of the shop opening to Thursday, July 6th. I’ve been out of state for several weeks, and now I’ll be gone again for another week to help my daughter out as she recuperates from some surgery. I would rather push the date back and be sure I have everything in order before opening for the season. My products are still available at Colleen’s Hair Salon, NH Farm Museum Country Store or Treasure Trove, so please pay them a visit if you need something in the meantime!
Sincere apologies to my customers & all those who have pulled in looking to shop! There has just been a lot going on this year. Looking forward to seeing you all SOON!
