Calendula harvest in reverse 🌼 We have a few more harvests left before the frost takes this lovely plant friend away for the season. We’re well stocked for making Renewal Healing Salve, Cultivate Hand Cream, Ink Spray Tattoo Aftercare and more all winter long! 🌼

The big tomato and grape harvests happened yesterday! 🌈 We’re dehydrating most of our tomatoes this year to soak in olive oil and rosemary. This is our first crop of Pinot noir grapes, not enough to brew, but just enough for jelly 🌈

..and now begins the hazy late-Summer harvest time 🍅 If we’re not in the shop, we’re busy picking and processing tomatoes these days. And, we’re using Cultivate Hand Cream even more to keep our skin happy. As the years go on, I get more and more irritated by tomato vines. I keep a jar of Cultivate by the sink and apply after each handwashing to hydrate, nourish and calm delicate skin 🍅

Yesterday we dropped off an order of lip balms, tints and Glitter Stix for our newest vendors, Charles Little & Company 💐 They operate a beautiful flower farm and farm stand close to one of our favorite river spots near Mt. Pisgah in Eugene. Such a lovely spot, it was hard to leave! 💐

If you’re local, they’re hosting a farm tour this Tuesday - check their profile for info 💐
