Some "weeds" I've successfully gotten to establish in my yard..

Chicory ☕️
Comfrey🦴
Borage 🥗
Cat Mint 🦟
Artichoke (it just does what it wants at this point lol) 😋
Amaranth 🐐
Devils Claw 😢💥/💨
Lantana 😫🤯
American Nightshade 🥧

(I used the best emojis I could find lol) I strongly suggest learning more about the "weeds" in your yard, you might discover they're very useful! I don't want to go more into what these can be used for, but if you Google them there's a whole rabbit hole waiting for you! Most of these I introduced on purpose, some were volunteers.

When you're a Giant Sapporo Cabbage, you gotta be extra right from the start.. first time I've seen 3 cotyledons! (Cotyledons are the "baby leaves" of a seedling, and there's usually only 2)

18/10/2024

Things don't always go as planned.. I loved the striped soap, but 3 of the bars split at the blue layer. That whole batch will be sold at half off (get it? Har har har) once they're cured. The rainbow clay soap turned out a bit better than I had hoped, and my goodness, does it smell amazing! Like pink lemonade. I'm going to call it Rainbows & Sunshine 🌈🌞

18/10/2024

We will be at TSC tomorrow, until the rain comes or until at least 12pm, whichever happens first!

Edit: Well, I just looked at the forecast again and the winds today are going to be.. insane. That's one thing we can't handle, the canopy would be ruined.. no market today!

17/10/2024

Making soap is addicting. I *could* have made more tooth powder today and just stored it until my containers came in tomorrow, but instead we tried some new techniques lol. Tooth powder and body butter tomorrow! And I swear I'll get my winter garden planted this week.. probably.

15/10/2024

First time trying color in soap! Amazed they turned out as well as they did!

19/09/2024

We traveled through White Sands, NM to attend my last living grandparent's memorial service. I may not be unpacked in time for market this Friday, but we will be back the week after for sure.

03/08/2024

Got to my mom's to can stuff just in time apparently..

02/08/2024

What's your favorite method of de-thorning these beauties?

25/07/2024

Nectarine, anyone? Lol.. these guys helped themselves.. time to pick whatever fruit they haven't gotten to I guess..

20/07/2024

We have some new and restocked products at the market today!

Natural Tooth Powders in Citrus, Mint, and Cinnamon Clove to match our Herbal Mouthwash Concentrates, some new soaps, Glycerites to offer an alcohol-free tincture option, lotion, some colorful beaded spring fidget toys, and Basil and Italian Herb Salts!

Come down and see us and all the vendors at Tractor Supply Green Valley! We're here till noon.

12/07/2024

Everyone asks what to do with quail eggs..I usually mention pickling, salads, soups - especially Ramen -.. but I think I have a new suggestion now. I'm super excited!

Tomatoes!! We will be selling these at our farm stand tomorrow at Tractor Supply Green Valley, or you can order them online for delivery/pickup :)

Cherry Tomatoes ($6/Pint):
Artisan Blush
Chocolate Cherry
Sparky Hybrid

Full Size Tomatoes ($4 for 2 or $3 each):
Cherokee Purple
White Wonder
Green Zebra
Red Brandywine

04/07/2024

We have produce back in stock! (For now) Artisan Blush Tomatoes - sold by the pint basket, Green Zebra Tomatoes, White Wonder Tomatoes, Cherokee Purple Tomatoes, and Red Brandywine Tomatoes! Way more flavor than what you find in stores.

02/07/2024

Finally getting back on track after this lingering cough! All better and back to restocking products :D. A friend of the family stopped by today and gave me some fun things that she makes to sell too, so I'll finally have something for kiddos at my booth

21/06/2024

Looks like we all caught what my daughter had.. no market this week!

16/06/2024

Sliced left to right - Green Zebra (little over ripe), Cherokee Purple, White Wonder.
Cherry Tomatoes top to bottom - Artisan Blush (balanced flavor, my favorite), Chocolate Cherry (very sweet!), Sparky Hybrid (we won't grow these again once the seed run out, I just prefer heirloom).

Now if we could get that splitting under control... lol. These are so flavorful, adding salt like we usually do would be way too much.

16/06/2024

Harvest from the nightshade garden. Some of these are almost TOO flavorful. The chocolate cherry tomatoes are super sweet, the hybrid Sparky taste like they would be great sun dried, and the Artisan Blush cherry are my favorite. I'm trying to track down which exact Heirloom variety the yellow large tomato is, it's going strong!

Satisfying Rose facial toning pour! Look at that glitter ✨️ #homemade #Rose #skincare #smallbuisnesslove #smallbuisnessmom #product #homesteading #gatheringsonora #facialtoners

While I love the animals and growing things, my real passion has always been in natural healing. Skincare is a close second though lol. Here is one part of making our natural rose face toner.
