What she makes

Everything is blended by hand from organic ingredients. Small batches, so what is available changes with the season and with what she can get hold of.

How it is made

Large glass jars of loose herbs — chamomile, lavender and others — waiting to be blended

One person, a kitchen, and a set of scales. That is the whole operation and it is the point.

  1. Sourced organicHerbs bought organic and whole, not pre-blended and not powdered into something you cannot identify.
  2. Blended by handWeighed and mixed in small batches, so a bad ingredient never disappears into a thousand bags.
  3. Bagged and labelledPacked by the person who made it, with what is in it written on the outside.
  4. Sold locallyThrough the Huntsville Food & Farm Hub and at markets around north Alabama, where you can ask her about it face to face.
