Wild Vitality Homestead: February 2013

Turkeys!

The pace of the Homestead is accelerating as spring nears. This week I ordered both heritage and broad breasted turkey poults to raise on pasture. They arrive in April, and I'm so excited!

I hope you're breaking out of your winter funk if you were so affected. If you need some help, I'll be bringing some Blues Beater tea to All Things Food in Defiance early next week.

Available seasonally, call or email to inquire

Rabbit Meat ~ farm processed, whole, packaged in a spiffy freezer shrink bag $5/#. Whole prey model for pets $2.50/#. Temporarily out of stock, but if the ladies cooperate, will be available again in May.

Fire Cider is a traditional remedy used as an immune tonic, cocktail mixer, salad dressing and hangover remedy. My version is available in 1oz/$5, 2oz/$10 or 4oz/$15 bottles.

First Aid Spray is an herbal infused oil that I use topically on both people and critters for general wound care, bites, scratches, scrapes and ear mites. I've used this to heal a duck who got attacked by a snapping turtle and to treat ear mites in rabbits. 1oz spray bottles are $7. Larger sizes are available by request, and if you'd prefer a glass dropper over the spray, I can do that, too.

Herbal Remedies

Free Range Chicken Eggs $3/dozen. Brown eggs. My ladies are production reds, Rhode Island Redstone, Black Jersey Giants, and Black Stars, led by a handsome Black Jersey Giant Roo named Romeo.

The future includes quail eggs and meat, fresh produce grown without chemicals, wildcrafted herbs to include Queen Anne's Lace and Teasel, and an assortment of medicinal herbs. Now is a good time to make special requests, as I'm planning my 2017 garden and getting ready to start seeds.

Barter list

Do you have stuff you don't need? I need stuff! I'm happy to trade what I have for the things I need that you don't need anymore. If you see something on the list that you'd like to get rid of, please get in touch! I can trade meats, eggs, veggies, herbal remedies and my services as a Nutritionist Herbalist and Reiki Practitioner.
