Herbalism 101 - August 16th
In this 3hr hands-on workshop, I invite you to come to our farm to explore a deeper relationship with plant medicine. We will dive into different ways to effectively extract plant medicine to create potent medicinal products. My aim is to facilitate you to feel empowered to build your own home Apothecary by making your own herbal remedies.
We will start by harvesting fresh plant matter in the garden and using my hand-made copper Still to distill plant material into Hydrosols and experience the power of Aromatherapy. We will go over various methods to dilute/extract plant constituents with different menstruoms like alcohol, vinegar, oil, water and honey. Lastly, we will make a salve with our own extracted oils.
Spring water and herbal tea will be provided through out the day.

The foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is an incredibly bio-diverse ecosystem where medicinal plants and mushrooms have been stewarded and used for a very long time. In this workshop, I will go over our long-term plant conservation and strategies to ensure a healthy population of these botanical allies. At Sylvatica Forest Farm, we are committed to low-impact and regenerative agriculture practices using exclusively organic methods. We care deeply about our natural world, the plants, all animals and the people.
