Hello from Mulme Healing Farm

I've been Farm Manager and Program Director forMulme Healing Farm for Yang Hejern since mid-September. I've been developing programs for herbalism, farming, traditional methods, and forraging and learning a lot of about them myself.

The programs I am developing are from the skills I've learned at Maine Primitive Skills School as an apprentice and other places which puts an emphasis ancestral wisdom.

Today, I was introduced to a new plant that I didn't know which we'll be gathering. Wild soy beans. If you grab the seed heads they explode the seeds out of their shells. It's spectacular.

At the same forraging class. Floppy hats are a new trend in my life. 

Harvesting medicine.

This is a herbal soup we made for a lecture on tea preparations. It's called genius soup.

The tea packets we made ourselves from herbs we bought or gathered. 

We use this old fashioned cutter to cut our herbs.
