Crafting infused skincare beginning with our land, on the farm and in our gardens is what we do. It’s my specialty. It’s our business.
•
And one of the foundations of that business is our line of infused tallow balms, creams, whips, and lotions crafted from leaf fat off of grass finished animals I butcher myself and then bolster the medicinal benefits with medicinal herbs and flowers.
•
There are several ways infuse the tallow I’m working with, after it’s rendered in our kitchen.
•
The first way is to place the herb directly into the tallow and allow the components to heat up to around 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit which allows the moisture to essentially burn off and for the oils to infuse into the tallow, itself.
•
I typically utilize this process for our Wild Rose and Vanilla Bean Caviar Tallow, our Salt of the Earth Tallow, and our Honied Orange tallows.
•
The most common method of tallow infusion I use is whipping the herbal infused oil into the tallow itself at room temperature, to ensure not to denature the value of the oil.
•
This is done with our Elderflower and Pine tallow and our Wild Bergamot tallow, just to name a few.
•
And lastly- we also use our line of freeze dried herbal powders we make here in the farm- since that technology allows us to create ultra fine powders that fully absorb and infuse into the tallow.
•
We use Cocoa, Milky Oat, Lemon Verbena, and Sweet Pea Flower powders for starters- with our tallows here on the farm to achieve those results in our products. 🥰💕♥️🙏
•
Our herbal infused skincare starts with our garden and our hands in the dirt and faces in the sun. And ends in our farmstead kitchen. There’s no better place to be. 😊

I know in today’s world so many people want these lessons in 30 seconds or less. With tight captions and simple sentences.
•
Funny and entertaining. Easy on the eyes. Quickly gratifying. Easily attainable.
•
Lulled into a sense of believing that they can achieve what they want overnight and have it all in a snap of their fingers.
•
But I still like to give beginnings to ends in whole, complete lessons. From my head to yours. From the land to the jar.
•
So bear with me, if you will, as my old school teachings and traditional tendencies unfold on this six and a half minute clip from my farm to a pocket sized moving screen you hold in your hands.
•
Today I wanted to teach primarily on intermediary infusions, but I also wanted to touch on the specific constituents of what makes calendula so healing, specifically- along with the benefits of calendula, itself.
•
I also wanted to showcase the specific variety we grew and where we grew it and also how we harvested it off our farm and to demonstrate our preferred method of preservation, here at The Wild Carrot Farmstead. All important, and valued, steps of our process.
•
These skills build upon themselves to get us to this point of intermediary infusion and feel like they are just as important as the infusion process, itself. This is the “why” and “what” of doing what we do; and I just can’t fit that into 30 seconds, so if you’ll excuse me.
•
Now, if you’ve made it this far, I commend you for keeping your attention span in tact. 🤣 I attached a step by step for your notes of the actual infusion process to properly infuse and extract most herbs, specifically those with high resin loads, like that of calendula, that’s showcased in the clip:

Intermediary Infusion Process:
1) Place the dried herb in a jar.
2) Lightly mist or dampen it with high-proof alcohol (such as 151–190 proof ethanol). I prefer using brand. A common ratio is about 1 tablespoon of high-proof alcohol per ounce of dried herb by weight, just enough to thoroughly dampen the plant material before adding the oil.
3) Allow it to sit for 12–24 hours. The herb will soften and rehydrate slightly.
4) Cover with your carrier oil.
5) Infuse as usual (4–6 weeks or with gentle heat).
6) Once your oil is done, you can strain it and use it as is or make a simple balm by remembering this basic ratio of four parts of oil to one part of beeswax.
Hope this helps get you started nd encourages you if you feel apprehensive about taking that first step into herbalism. 💕

Mullein is a biennial plant – that means it completes its growing cycle over two years.
•
And yes, it’s invasive. So uproot it if you are on a righteous mission to eradicate it from your environment.
•
Personally- it’s here- it’s medicinal- and it serves our pollinators- so I chose to work with it.
•
During the first year, as mentioned, it forms a rosette of fuzzy basal leaves, then during the second year, each rosette grows a tall flower spike (anywhere from 2 to 8 feet tall) covered with individual fuzzy green flower buds, that eventually open up, revealing five-lobed yellow flowers.
•
And after that it, it’ll seed itself and that plant will die.
•
It’s easiest to identify mullein when it’s flowering, because it has a very distinctive flower stalk.
•
The flowers of common mullein are sulfur yellow and have 5 lobes.
•
As with all plants you gather from the wild, if not from your own farm, make sure you have permission to gather from an area, and avoid areas sprayed with herbicides during the growing season or that can contain environmental contaminants from passing traffic.
•
From the first year plant- I gather the leaves when the energy of the plant is going into those- and NOT the flower stalk.
•
These make for the freshest- softest- most medicinal- and slowest burning leaves for smoking for respiratory ailments.
•
The leaves are soft and wooly on all sides, and rubbing a leaf feels similar to flannel. (Great for toilet paper in a pinch too!)
•
You can also make an infusion with the leaves, but be sure to strain the fine hairs out with a square of old (clean) t-shirt or a coffee filter.
•
The second year plant is where you’ll find the flowers- which is what we are after when making our beloved, and incredibly effective, earache oil!
•
Only a few flowers open on the stalk each day, so it’s helpful to visit your mullein plants every day or two during the flowering stage.
•
Always leave behind plenty of unpicked flowers too, for the pollinators to enjoy, and also to make sure the plants reseed and start the growth cycle again for next year!
•
We’ll be covering how to make these mentioned remedies in the next sev

If it has stars, hearts, and a little personality, I’m probably bringing it home.
•
And this new eye glass line by has all three!
•
I have never seen starry glasses my gosh! And in big frames too (though there’s small frame options too, but your girl always goes for the biggest frame I can find). 🤣
•
So, yes, I ordered three pairs because I need to be able to match outfits, duh! 🤣☺️💕
•
Really, these may be my most favorite glasses I’ve ever owned…especially the first pair! I LOVE the sparkly stars and hearts so much and I get compliments on them wherever I go!
•
And since they’re not only cute, but I was also so impressed by the quality and feel- I thought I’d feature them for this week!
•
They can be sort of tricky to find a so here’s their number if you want to check them out for yourself, in the order of being viewed!
•
My favorites are “andrew093” the first bulky black frames

The second smaller black frames are “OBM2007A”

And those dreamy translucent pink ones are “FM2552”
•
I’m not affiliated- but they have a sale of 40% off right now by using code “spring” and I do have a referral code “Z9I4B1”
that’ll just hook me up friend-to-friend and save me 50% off my next pair…and I’d love to get another sometime too! 🤣🙌☺️
•
I can “see” you’re going to have a great weekend! Love you! 🤣😘☺️💕🫶
