CAN YOU RECOGNIZE PLANTAIN?

Broadleaf plantain is often found growing in lawns, pastures, farmyards and other
places where the soil has been walked on or compacted.
Look for:
- A low circle of broad, oval leaves
- Strong veins running from the leaf base to the tip
- Smooth or slightly wavy leaf edges
- Tall, leafless flower and seed stalks
- A mild, fresh and earthy scent
Try gently pulling a leaf apart. You may see its tough veins stretch between the
pieces like little threads.
Always identify a wild plant carefully and gather only from clean areas that have not
been sprayed with chemicals.

If you love that fresh-out-of-the-country-store, line-dried, lilacs-on-the-breeze feeling, this is your bar.

HERB OF THE MONTH: PLANTAIN

This month, Just Kidding Goat Farm is featuring broadleaf plantain - one of those
humble plants many people walk past without realizing how useful it can be.
Broadleaf plantain, or Plantago major, grows in lawns, pastures, farmyards and along
walking paths. It forms a low circle of broad green leaves with several strong veins
running from the base to the tip.
This is not the banana-like fruit! It is a simple, traditional herb that we use in several
of our farmhouse hair and skin-care products.
Follow along this month to learn how to recognize plantain and why we use it at JKGF.

It’s a beautiful morning, what more can a girl ask for wide open pasture, fresh air a few cows, wild flowers and even a few bugs.
I Thank God for these simple joys of country life
