Elderberries- the Tonic of Fall

Did you know that we’ve got bushes of great berry medicine ready now in our area? Elderberries have long been known to bolster the immune system and especially help our respiratory and sinus systems? We’ll have a limited amount of gallon bags of elderberries on the stem at the Clarkfork River Market so you can make your own Elderberry syrup and we’ll be selling Quit Snivelin Wellness Tea Blend by the jar, mugpacks, cups to go and sampling the blend with local honey from Sapphire Apiaries and extra elderberries!

Solidago…does it mean “Sun”?

I thought for sure the “Sol” in Goldenrod’s name meant Sun. It seemed good for an August market. But Goldenrod’s name means “to make whole”. You can blow up the last picture and read about some of the basic benefits. As I was reading them on Google, I was going “I need that, and, my husband needs that!” So, along with our fresh herb bunches, our Gourmet Herb Blends, Wellness Tea blends and our other tea herbs in bags, we’ll sample and sell cups of Sparkling Golenrod tea in the sunshine! Be whole, Lori
