Using Herbs to Enhance Your Spiritual Practices

Raw Cashew Dream Cake – The Perfect No Bake Summer Cake

Golly it’s been a hot summer! We seem to be dealt heat wave after heat wave here in southern Ontario, with very little reprieve from the hot, sticky weather. My little house does not have air conditioning, so I have zero interest in adding heat to an already hot... read more

Lacto-Fermented Garlic Scapes

I absolutely LOVE growing hardneck garlic. It goes into the ground in the fall when most of your homesteading preservation is done for the year and then it pretty much takes care of itself until harvesting. Plus you get the added bonus crop of garlic scapes! Garlic... read more
