Our Drop is LIVE right now and I’ve got some beautiful offerings for you! Beginning with this fresh batch of seed packet soaps! Crafted from our goats’ milk and hand-rendered tallow and infused with lilac! Hand poured and molded.

Our biblically inspired infused goat milk & tallow soaps drop today too!

Our mini baskets aren’t just cute and clip to any bag or basket you’d like, they’re functional too! Handmade and made to collect all the little treasures you find along the way of your foraging adventures! Made to keep the little treasures from getting lost amongst the big!

The copper ankle bracelets have been selling out left and right and thank you for that! Both Jason’s and my grandfathers were metalsmiths and jewelry makers and we craft these together in our shop in memory of them with the tools they have left to us to carry on their legacy.

Copper has been worn for centuries in traditional folk practices as a symbol of grounding, vitality, and connection to the earth. Many people choose to wear copper jewelry for its association with healthy circulation, energy flow, and everyday comfort, while others simply appreciate its rustic beauty and timeless simplicity. Whether for its traditional holistic uses or as a meaningful reminder to stay rooted and present, copper remains a beloved natural metal.

I’ve been making these snails by hand for years and have recently brought them back to the website! They’re hand poured and molded and the body of the snail is concave to allow you to place a round treasure if choice in place for its shell! Each one will come with a stone marble shell to get you started!

The new crystal prism snail collection launched today too- and comes with a FIXED crystal prism shell (not interchangeable). These are my favorite! Eeek!

And our tulsi/holy basil is in full production and is all packaged up and added to our collection of freeze dried herbal offerings and ready to sell to you!

Your support allows us to continue to give back openly and freely to you! Every purchase gives us the opportunity to teach a lesson, share a recipe, & sprinkle a little inspiration here and there along the way. 🫶❤️

What a special . Yonder was so excited to do this one with me, since she landed her very first affiliation. 🥰

She wants to be everywhere I am and do everything I do and is my little farm girl shadow- so you can only imagine her delight to wear matching dresses () and boots () with me. Together. 😭

We spent the rainy afternoon exploring the garden, hanging with the goats (her favorite farm animal as well), foraging, puddle-jumping, and soaking up the simple joys of farm life.

These moments are exactly why we left the city, now so many years ago, to start this farmstead. For our kids. Our family. Our legacy.

We’ve been loving our pink boots! They’re comfortable, practical for farm life, and perfect for all our outdoor adventures!

Yonder loves them so much- she wants you to have 20% off your order with code CARROT20 so other little girls can have a pair too! 🥰

Hope you have a lovely weekend and take time with your children. Be in the moment. Relax. Let go. Let them remind you of how to be a child again.

Here’s a little garden update from our main garden!

We have six total gardens this year and I think the best way to share it all will be to have a little tour/walk through video! I’ll get on that soon!

But this is our main garden where our main greenhouse also is…and I will also do an update tour of that soon too! The greenhouse mainly houses our cactus and succulent collection. ☺️

And I decided to share some of my favorites right now of just some of the herbs that we grow! Oh- and I had to throw in the black radishes we just harvested too- because WOW! 🤩

Have you ever seen these big guys before?! They’re peppery and great thinly sliced on a lice of toast with some liver! 🤤

Each year the garden looks different. And this year we divided the gardens mainly into an herb garden, a vegetable garden, a gourd & melon garden, a flower garden, and a three sisters garden!

These make for much easier and organized work!

Also, has upped our gardening and farming game through the years with all the beautiful gardening implements we get to work with!

Installing irrigation systems last year has been so helpful, and we primarily save our seeds- but we also love working with and to source new seeds that we haven’t had before in our own collections!

We make our own fertilizer using our biogas system and the pests have been nearly irradiated since we partnered with and implemented helpful insects onto the farm like beneficial nematodes and fly exterminators l (I could talk about those benefits for DAYS)!

Every year is different. New lessons. New discoveries. Different systems. New changes. And challenges.

And that’s the beauty of this work and the lifestyle we live.

I’m here for it all! Along for the ride. Letting God take the reins!

Yeehaw lil doggies!

There’s a kind of ache that stops you in your tracks—the kind that keeps a little one up at night or creeps in after a day out in the wind.

Around here, we’ve always reached for a remedy that’s simple, gentle, and close to the earth.

That’s how our Wild Carrot Earache Oil was born.

Made from garlic, mullein flowers, and calendula—all grown and harvested right here on our family farm—it’s become one of our most reached-for remedies.

Mullein soothes inflammation in tender ear tissue.

Garlic offers powerful antimicrobial and antiviral support.

Calendula is the calming balm that helps it all mend.

Each herb is slow-infused in an olive oil & jojoba blend for weeks, then strained, bottled, and labeled with care.

No shortcuts. No preservatives. Just farm-grown comfort in a dropper bottle.

To use, warm gently in your hands or a mug of warm water, and drop 2–3 drops into the affected ear while lying on the opposite side.

We only use it when there’s no drainage or ruptured eardrum—just the kind of ache you can feel coming on.

This is an external-use-only oil, time-tested by our own family over the years for things like seasonal irritation, windburn, pressure changes, and those mystery ear twinges that seem to strike at bedtime.

Want to make it yourself?

It’s simple:

Combine 1 TBS dried mullein flowers, 1 TBS calendula, and 1 Clove garlic in a 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil/jojoba oil.

Infuse for 1–2 hours over very low heat or let steep in a sunny window for 2–4 weeks.

Strain well and bottle in glass.

Shelf stable for 6 months if kept cool and dark.

Add a few drops of lavender essential oil if you’d like—but we usually leave it pure and plain for sensitive ears.

And if life is busy (as it tends to be), you can grab a bottle already made by us over at www.wcfmarket.com.

We grew the herbs, watched them bloom, picked them in the sun, and infused them with care—just like we do for our own children.

From our farm to your family, we’re honored to share what works for us.

May your ears stay clear, your days stay peaceful, and your nights quiet enough to h

I share, in my stories, our foraging trips and this kind of content, day-to-day-but I always end up with lots of additional questions- specifically surrounding the identification of these four white-blossomed plants.

There’s more plants that exist with these blossoms in nature, obviously- but I wanted to limit this video segment to the four that are crossed more often…

Which also includes the dreaded one that seems to keep people from wanting to forage, all together.

So I’d like to gift this little presentation to you newer beginner foragers/herbalists/plant enthusiasts who still may be struggling to tell these plants apart.

Once you attune your senses to these plants- you’ll eventually not be able to unsee these differentiating details and it’ll become easier and easier to forage with confidence! ☺️

A quick reminder, however: always identify wild plants with certainty before harvesting. Study, take a friend, ask questions!

Here’s a quick recap in text:

Remember, yarrow has flat-topped clusters of tiny white, finely divided flowers and feathery leaves that look almost fern-like.

Elderflower grows on a woody shrub/bush/small tree, with large, broad, delicate clusters of creamy-white flowers with white stems. The leaves are compounded, tree-like, and have slightly serrated edges.

Queen Anne’s Lace has delicate umbrella-shaped white flower heads, with tiny clustery blossoms often, with a single dark purple flower in the center (not always), a crown underneath the blossom, and a *hairy stem*. It also often smells like carrot when picked.

Poison Hemlock can look similar from a distance, but the blossoms are just, lacking. It has smooth, long, large hollow stems marked with distinctive purple blotches, a white bloom, and is highly toxic. It lacks the hairy stems of Queen Anne’s Lace. And grows prevalently and super tall.

When in doubt, don’t harvest it out. Positive identification is always the safest herbal practice. And I’m always here to help!

Mullein Mornings on the Farm

We gather these golden blossoms slow and steady, one at a time, just after the dew dries and before the wind shakes them loose.

Each flower blooms for a single day — and only then is it ready to give its medicine.

Mullein is a two-year plant: it grows tall and strong in its second year, blooms bright, and then dies back — leaving behind a hundred seeds or more.

It’s wildly generous, and honestly… a little invasive.

It doesn’t need coddling, and it grows where nothing else will — roadside, pasture edge, rocky hillside.

But that doesn’t mean we take it all.

We always leave plenty for the bees.

They love those sunshine-bright blooms, and we believe every harvest should bless more than just our own hands.

So we harvest sustainably — just a pinch here and there from each tall stalk — never stripping a plant, never taking what we don’t need.

The blossoms go straight into our freeze dryer and then into jars of golden olive oil to infuse under the sun, slow and sacred, until they become our beloved Mullein Blossom Ear Oil — a gentle, old-time remedy for aches, inflammation, and tender little ears, ready in time for the dreaded sick season.

Made fresh daily during bloom season. Grown with prayer, picked with purpose.
And bottled in small batches at www.wcfmarket.com ❤️
