Saying goodbye to 2015 ~ reflecting on the past year and all that we accomplished here on the farm.
Plantings of elderberries and many medicinal herbs .. incorporating Permaculture principles, creating hulgel kultur beds for plantings which save on watering and also, in the winter helps protect the herbs ..
exploring the farm and finding a wealth of herbs that grow
naturally here: burdock, comfrey, mullein, usnea and so many more yet to explore and find!
Autumn is almost here.!!!

Creating your own blends for aroma therapy or skin care can be bewildering when you have to choose a carrier oil.
There are several different kinds of carrier oils and all will affect your skin in different ways.
By learning about the make up of each oil, you will find the best one for you or your product.
Carrier oils vary dramatically in texture, smell, consistency, and appearance.
They also vary in biological make up. This means skin and body types will react differently to each oil.
Sweet Almond is a light oil that may have a faint scent and is good for many skin types. It contains vitamins A, B, and E which help skin’s elasticity, making it more younger looking. Since it is so light, it is easily absorbed into the skin so there is no greasy residue or possibility of clogging pores. If used on its own, it can also be used as a hair treatment. By using it in a hair mask or a few drops in your conditioner, you hair will be stronger and shinier.
The earliest use of almond oil dates back to the Romans who used almond oil extensively in skin care preparations. Sweet Almond is a well tolerated, light, non intrusive base oil for massage.
Please note: Those with nut allergies should do a skin test prior to using.
Hemp oil has a characteristic deep green liquid with a light and nutty scent oil that contains both Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids.
This gives skin a protective layer when used as a moisturizer.
Hemp oil with high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low levels of saturated fatty acids
this material is a unique oil known for its healthy properties.
Jojoba Oil is actually a liquid wax. You can blend Jojoba with lighter carrier oils which will help keep your skin hydrated and young looking.
The oil is virtually odorless and has a long shelf life. Because it is a liquid wax, it has no rancidity levels and has a long shelf life.
Using this oil with other carrier oils and essential will help keep skin looking moisturized and healthy.
Before using any of these carrier oils in products or on your own skin be sure to research possible allergic reactions or side effects. Carrier oils vary dramatically and can affect skin in several different ways. If researched and tested well, carrier oils are a great way to use essential oils in products and keep skin looking young and healthy.

In traditional sky lore, the Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. In 2012, for us in the Northern Hemisphere, the autumnal equinox comes on September 22. The full moon for us in the U.S. will come on the night of September 29. That makes the September 29-30 full moon the Harvest Moon.
Depending upon your time zone, the full moon will be September 29 or 30. But the moon will appear round and full on all the nights around this full moon.

Yes on Prop 37 – California Right To Know Truth Ad ~
Once upon a time, so-called experts have claimed that cigarettes, DDT and Agent Orange are “safe.” Now they say that genetically engineered (GE) food is “safe.” If Monsanto and Dow think these foods are safe, why are they fighting our right to know what’s in our food? Vote “Yes on 37” (California Right To Know) for the right to know what’s on our food and tell your friends and family to do the same!
Please take a moment to watch this video ~ Right To Know ~

Oppose H.R. 2359: Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011
We ask that all small business owners takes the time to thoroughly read the entire bill, not just the exemptions in a vacuum, and understands all aspects of the legislation prior to supporting it.
Please go to this page, read what it is all about and please, sign the petition. I did, will you ??
We all want safe cosmetics, but this will not help and is geared for the ‘big business’ not the small business folks.
Knowledge is power, don’t wait til it’s to late and this is a done deal.

For more information on this bill:
Ten reasons why you should not support SCA 2011:
Written by Robert Tisserand: The Environmental Working Group, who have given birth to this legislation, is an incompetent organization that does not understand the science of toxicology, does not understand natural products, and that takes a biased, negative view of safety, often seeing dangers that do not exist.
