Oregano is more then a culinary herb. There are many medicinal uses for oregano and we go over them today while making oregano tincture.
Our farm is regenerative. Which means we use practices that feed the Earth, nurture it, and heal it. We use compost that is produced on farm, it feeds the ground and grows the plants, the plants nourish the people and the animals, and the animals produce the compost. And round and round we go.
That produces high quality herbs and potent herbal preparations. Follow along to learn how to grow and prepare your own home apothecary, or comment “Farm Store” to find out where you can buy our herbal products.

Today I'm harvesting the spring sap from our white pine trees while it's fresh and still soft. White pine bark, pine gum, and needles are super high in vitamin C and very helpful for thinning thick mucus associated with sinus infections and upper respiratory congestion. That's exactly why I'm after it today. We've been struggling with the after affects of....a certain virus. I'm sharing how I harvest the herb, make this specific tincture, and resources available for you to learn more about herbal medicine making.
