Halloween Night

Greetings! Tonite is Halloween night. The weather is very cold and winter is in the air. Our dinner was made from local veggies,broccoli,squash,sweet potato and pierogie. Yes I know the pierogie was not made locally but we love those fried dumplings so much!
The Athens Farmers Market was busy yesterday and many are stocking up with our Cold Care Tea,Calm Your Cough Tea and elderberry tincture.
I leave in a few days for a 14 day Tea Tour. My travels will start me off in Charlottesville, Virgina and I will end up in the Philly area 10 days later! Please keep posted to this blog for news as it happens on the Fall Tea Tour 2010!

Athens Ohio Farmers Market


Each Saturday in Athens is like Thanksgiving. I generally sell and serve my Herbal Sage Tea at our local Farmers Market, but this week I went to the market as a customer, not as a vendor. We have an abundance of great food here and I am lucky enough to be living in a region where farmers are respected and supported. For more information about our farmers market visit www.athensfarmersmarket.org

Yogi walking into the Fall Season

Today my pup, Yogi and I, took some time to explore the land. We hiked up the road to what seemed like a perfect example of a fall day in SE Ohio. I've been busy at The Herbal Sage, blending recipes, drying elderberry for tea and preparing for the upcoming change of seasons. Ths morning was a real treat for me. Taking time to walk on the land, both in the woods and in the fields, makes being an Herbalist worth it. The time I spend with the plants makes me feel real.
