Elderwood Farm Sanctuary (2024)

29/11/2023

Welcome our newest rescue to the farm Miss Dutchie 🍩 . Our beautiful girl is a 10 month old Bernice mountain dog crossed with a Great Pyrenees that came to us just over a two months ago from an extreme hoarding situation. She is timid at first but this beautiful girl has a sweet and very funny personality… the more she breaks out of her shell the nuttier she gets lol
She is so full of love and so far is an excellent protector of laps…and the couch 🤣

The oil blends myself and my family have used for years upon years finally made their debut at our last Spring market and the reception was overwhelming! The immediate response and the stories to follow truly make my love of these rollers even stronger

The Headache roller is an essential oil blend of Basil, Lavender, Peppermint, German Chamomile & Helychrisium blended with Sweet Almond Oil to release & relieve you headaches

Our Anxiety roller is a soothing blend of Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, Lavender & Bergamot essential oil blended with Sweet Almond oil to help calm and ease anxious feelings

Both are restocked and will be available at our Summer Mystic Market next Sunday July 23!

I was lucky enough to catch an incredibly sweet moment…while munching with Misty our sweet boy Amenadiel decided she needed a head nuzzle …then back to munching ❤️

P.s don’t mind the tufts on the end of his horns 😂 the poor boy is still shedding his winter fluff and has built in back scratchers attached to his head so why not use them …but don’t try and take those fluffs from his horns he’s oddly possessive of them 🤣

This happy little honey bee all covered in pollen makes me so happy thinking of the beautiful honey to come later 🐝

Grape Shrub!! 🍇
And now you may be thinking “what is this crazy woman talking about!?”
Well my friends this delicious probiotic rich drink was actually the first form of soda and very popular in the 1700’s to early 1800’s

It is incredibly easy to make and because of the apple cider vinegar is completely fine to sit on your counter for days on end…not only that it is so easy to use as you can add it to water as a flavouring, sparkling water, used to make cocktails and mocktails and you can use any fruit or herb combination that you would like!!
The kids love it as it tastes like a fizzy juice but with natural sugars and no additives and it’s a great way to get them involved in creating their own flavour combinations 😊

As mentioned it really is so easy to make as it is just equal parts fruit, honey (I used maple syrup for this one) and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. I always use the folk method of measuring but to make the recipe easier you can use 1 cup of each.
I would suggest mashing the fruit and herbs first then add your honey (or maple syrup) and ACV, mix well. Then leave to sit on the counter lightly covered with lid till the next day…strain and pour back into the jar…from there you can use to taste in drinks, I normally add around an oz or so to a glass with ice and top with water (as pictured)

Note: if you completely close the lid you will get more fizz and bubbles (as the fermentation process has started) however be careful and open the lid slowly as just like pop it will fizz over on you 😉

Come one come all!! It’s a Vendor call 😉

We still have a couple of spots left for our upcoming June market but if we are full in your area you can also apply to any of the other 3 markets as some space is left for the summer and fall and of course our first winter market! We are hard at work here on the farm making the possibilities for the winter market happen so that is one I am very much looking forward to! 😊

It Worked!!! I had decided to try and grow our own ginger since we use it quite a bit around here and I’m so happy to see it growing…and it was so easy!
If you want to try your self all you need is organic ginger root…break pieces off where they naturally snap and then let the pieces soak in water for 1-2 hours. I then let the pieces dry on the counter and then planted. Two weeks later a little sprout and then within another week this! 🌱 🪴

It has been an incredibly emotional and hard week here as we have said goodbye far too soon to our beautiful boy duke. As I type this the tears are flowing, as I scrolled through the photos of your sweet face trying to pick the right ones I felt I was drowning in tears …you were such a good dog..so full of life and adventure and you would force me along with you..no matter how inconvenient to realize you had run off on an adventure I would have it everyday to chase you through the field again …as now I realize you were distracting me from the busy of everyday and reminding me to have a little fun.
Now when the wind blows from your favourite field I will feel you in it and hear your reminder of adventure in your wind chimes ❤️❤️

It’s corn season!!! 🌽 🌽

And with that I have been preserving up a storm with corn salsas, relish and more…however with all that comes a lot of kernel cutting BUT my tried and true bunt pan has come to the rescue and I thought it was a tip that might help the rest of you with your corn eating adventures this season…it’s as easy as it looks just set the cob in the middle of the pan and cut away as the kernels neatly fall in one place 🙂

🌽 I am always looking for new corn recipes especially canning ones! If you have a favourite let me know in the comments below!

Morellos!!!!
Or as most would know them sour cherries! Unlike their sweet cousin they are smaller and a little more tart but excellent for cooking with or as I have done infused some in whiskey for super special manhattan’s this winter..yum!

This is a harvest from just one of our trees which means I’m going to have a whole lot of fun making cherry everything!

04/07/2022

Comfrey the skin saver!! 🌱

Comfrey is excellent for many things such as reducing pain and inflammation, boosting your immune system, strengthening bones, improving respiratory health…but for me it’s one of the main go to for healing and promoting beautiful skin!

Comfrey can be used for anything from spider bites to eczema (and is one of the main ingredients in our Botanical Facial Steamers, Healing Body Butter and our Eczema Cream ) ..it’s combination of vitamin C, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds make this the perfect skin solution for healing and promoting cellular growth.

The Quail eggs are building up again …which means it’s pickling time!!! And actually coming at the perfect time since I have been getting quite a few questions lately about how to pickle eggs (which I love so ask all the questions peeps!) and so below I have put a basic quail egg recipe and under that the basics for a chicken egg 🥚

✨ Pickled Quail Eggs
-boil and peel eggs
-in a jar size of you choice (whether using a pint jar or something smaller if you have less eggs or want multiple containers) put eggs in
-1 cup of vinegar (anything over 5% acidity..you can be creative here too by using apple cider or even balsamic)
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp peppercorns, allspice, dill any spice combination you would like!
-bring vinegar and spices to a boil then turn off the heat and let cool, once cooled pour over eggs

For a basic egg pickling recipe you would normally do a one to one ratio of vinegar to water depending on how strong you like it with 1 tsp of salt per cup of vinegar you use…then as above add any spice flavouring you like!

Happy Pickling! 😊🥚

21/06/2022

It’s the time of year when I once again have an abundance to can and preserve…..and I LOVE it!!
Canning and preserving not only allows you to further your garden yield (or extra produce you pick up!) it helps you have peace of mind that your cupboards are well stocked for any number of circumstances…it is also incredibly good for your health and gut flora to have more naturally preserved and fermented food.

AND it is actually incredibly easy to do and truly doesn’t take that much time with a little organization …I also tend to do small batches when I can so the task isn’t as overwhelming…for instance I had a harvest of rhubarb so I made chutney with it, crab apples for pectin, a harvest of cucumber (for pickles) and a weeks worth of quail eggs…one day of work (and that’s spread out for cooking and simmering times ….and running after tiny people and animals 😉) and I have happy little jars all ready for the pantry!

15/06/2022

Wild foraged Asparagus!!
We are so lucky to have an abundance of wild asparagus growing along the tree lines of our hay fields 🌱 and when I say abundance I mean we are going out almost twice daily to collect…and I can’t wait to try new ways of preserving our daily harvest!
