It is very good. It didn’t need a whole teaspoon to be strong enough. If you like Hazelnut then you should like this one.
I have not used arnica salve in years. I used to us it on my kids when they were growing up. Now years later, I have found to that besides bruises , I use it on sore muscles. Love it.
I have access and have used plantain for a while, especially for bites and scratches. This salve is very healing and takes the itch out of the bites.
You can tell Farmhouse Teas put their heart and soul into their products and homestead. I find that refreshing and am glad to support such a company!
On my 3rd brew and its doing great! I've never had Jun, only store bought kombucha and HM water kefir, so I didnt know exactly what to expect flavorwise but it's nice and subtle. Still learning the timings but the family is drinking it so yay!
Charcuterie Board Recipe ebook...this is great! Thank you!
I have always enjoyed green tea but this blend is above all others I've had. Very smooth and bright once brewed and I love the smell when I open the bag. Seems to be working well for my Jun!
This tea is outstanding! It's like dessert in a cup! I'll definitely buy again!
The apple cider fixin’ is a taste of fall but I love it year round! The sweet apple flavor mixed with all the spices is the perfect balance.
I have said it before, making this elderberry syrup for my mom has been a blessing. She has fought allergies for years and just taking a spoonful first thing every morning and it has reduced that to almost zero. I take it too and it helps also. Thanks always for the beautiful packaging and the extra special tea packets. Keep up the great work!!
