Its time! After 2 months of rest from the garden, its time for me to pull out all my seeds and begin to plan for the next year. I will be starting cold stratifying the seeds that need it (lots of medicinal herbs and a few flowers) next week. Seed catalogs have been trickling in and I am excited to go through what I have already and plan for the new. This coming season is going to be a very different one potentially so it is hard and stressful at the moment but we are going to make the best of it for sure. And I will as always have plenty of organic starts to share with all the lovely locals starting in just a few short months! The first day of winter was just here but spring is truly just around the corner.

I took a picture from my window overlooking the garden on the first of every month and it really outlines the year of the garden perfectly haha. Briefly snowy, starts everywhere, baby plants, sunflowers everywhere, fading garden, and the in between. Love it all.

Seasonal products as well as a few created specifically for the book themed market I did last weekend are now up to date and on the website! As always, thank you so much for supporting my business. It has truly been such a joy this last year. https://www.wanderingbeefarm.com/
3 winter tea blends: Mulling Spice, Fireside Chai, and Cacao Mint (priced half off)
12 oz Fire Cider: traditional and a hibiscus pomegranate variety
12 oz Winter Wellness Oxymel with apple cider vinegar, elderberry, rosehip, warming spices, and local honey
2 sets of themed bath melts. Frosty Fairytales is a pepperminty vanilla with tons of sparkle. Cozy Novel is more of the rich dark winter spicy smells. Both are half off due to being themed so they are $3 for 6 melts.
Warming salve is full of spicy herbs to bring blood flow to cold or tired muscles
Rosehip syrup is full of wild foraged rosehips that were cooked down with orange and lemon peel as well as cinnamon created a very tasty way to boost vitamin C
Winter Burn Bundles are hand picked hand wrapped and designed specifically for the winter season.
Last but not least I have bundles! These are curated specifically with gift giving in mind but will work great for any time. Cozy Night In has a mini Tranquil Bath soak, a Golden Bloom skin oil, and a mini Wind Down tea. Self Care Bundle has a mini Peaceful Mind tea, Golden Bloom skin oil, and a Herbal Crown hair oil. Winter Wellness Trio has a 12 oz Fire Cider, a Herbal Throat Spray, and a mini Immune Support Tea.

December market! This is the only holiday market we are doing and we are so stoked for it. We will be at Fall Into Fiction Winter Edition on December 6th. We have so many herbal goodies that work beautifully as gifts or to stock up on going into the cold season. The line up for this market looks amazing and we are excited to be a part of it! Hope to see you there!

We have spent the holiday week/weekend mostly offline with family but I wanted to take a second today to say how grateful I am for the last year. I am so grateful for new and old farm and garden friends who inspire me daily. I am grateful for the herbal friends and connections that I am able to learn from. I am grateful for anyone and everyone that has helped my small business grow to a place I wouldn't have imagined. I am so grateful that I get to turn this love of growing things into something that supports my love of growing things haha. And last but not least, I am endlessly grateful to my husband and kids for helping me forage, grow, pick, set up markets, and do all the other crazy things we do.
Hope everyone was able to have a safe and warm start into the holidays. Glad to have you here in this little part of the interwebs.

Love this so much and will be doing the same!

Start a new tradition this Thanksgiving! Ditch shopping, bundle up and get outside to discover something new instead!
Many of you may already know, I do not support Black Friday. One, I'm really not big on shopping to begin with. Two, I simply cannot do the crowds or the chaos. Three, the commercialism is just over the top. And Four, families shouldn't have to schedule around retail work schedules for a holiday.
I prefer holidays to be a time of slowing down, connecting with family, celebrating the bounty of life and the harvest season and just relaxing.
So... Take a day and get some sun and fresh air while you can... take a hike, go snowshoeing or skiing, see something new, build a snowman, go sledding, make snow angels... anything to reconnect with the amazing natural world around us. Heck, if you can't get outside, get a cup of tea and pull out an intriguing book, or start a craft you've been hankerin' to do, or curl up with a furry friend and watch a movie marathon, or play games all day with the kids. There are so many alternative options! Invest some time in yourself and your loved ones. Shopping can wait. Our bodies need this more.
Post a photo below of your adventure!
