Sheep, chickens, ducks and such in the Waitsfield, Mad River Valley, Vermont
Always watching, thinking, dreaming and creating on Stowell Farm
Nettles! One of my favorites. You have to harvest them with the proper gear (per my previous post), but they are so amazing in so may ways! They are so nourishing...in teas, as a tincture...steamed. They are the thorny healer. Like Hawthorn or Horse Chestnut (and Rose!) ...there is so much good with "the prickle and sting."
