These dairy-free and sugar-free popsicles will hit the sweet spot without taking a toll on your wellness.

We have 3 varietal Flower Soda blends to try in this wild-fermented home brew recipe. These recipes use what is called a ginger bug. It’s an old traditional way of using wild yeasts that eat sugar, begin to proliferate and bubble making them fizzy like soda. Unlike our store bought sodas, these have lots of health benefits…

Getting to know the local plants and learning how to use them for food and medicine can be a great doorway to becoming a steward of the land. Hopefully, the more we learn about the benefits of wild plants the more we will be motive to protect them and the surrounding ecosystem. These plants are integral to a whole ecosystem and the lives of many animals, bugs and birds.

“Are you Crazy?” “They will never survive!” were the first reactions of my neighbors when I moved into the Double Domes on Aspen Meadows Road six years ago. They didn’t realize that I was known as “The Goat Lady” back East, where I had raised 100 head of sheep and Angora goats.

The story of mistletoe begins with a superstitious kiss. Legend says, kissing under the bough brings good luck, wards off evil and blesses those kissing with love. The ancient Druids from the Celtic people were the keepers of the sacred mistletoe. They saw the plant as a gateway between the worlds because of the mysterious way it grows on a host tree, never touching the ground nor growing exactly towards the sky.

Feeling overwhelmed? Got chronic pain or digestive issues? Of course we all want a magic pill to immediately cure our ailments. And more so… we want that relief yesterday or sooner.

Yet our quick fix, symptom-chasing mindset perpetuates our wellness dilemma. We frantically chase our own tail hoping to get the finish so we may finally rest or finally grasp a taste of nourishment.

The sweet, challenging and fleeting 40 days after a women gives birth is referred to in Ayurveda as the Sacred Window. It is a potent and vulnerable time as the maiden metamorphoses into mother and the fetus into baby. This is a sacred transition, where parents often feel their heart bursting with more love than ever before.

Thoughtful Ways to Start the Day with Simple, Loving Attention to Her Five Senses.

A group of neighbors have been gardening up here for years testing high altitude gardening techniques and researching traditional gardening in other cultures.

As the North Wind settles on the mountain for a deep, cold winter, we stock the fires of good health. We want to retain our body warmth as a much a possible so our body can use our energy for strong digestion, full circulation and immunity. If we are getting chilled frequently, our energy goes to just keeping us warm instead of these more optimal modes of the body. Take extra care to protect your head and feet; wrap them in wool and keep socks and hats on inside until you feel a little too warm. Focus on keeping warm by boosting digestion and circulation. Drink and eat every thing warmed up and this is the time to enjoy chilies, pepper and spices that all kindle the digestive fire.
