Nature Nurture Wellness

It has been a busy week here at the Rever-Webster household!!! We picked up two 20lb cases of BC freestone peaches this past Saturday. I made:

- 8 half pints of peach butter flavoured with vanilla, spices and bourbon 😋
- 6 pints and 1 half pint of peach sauce
- 6 pints and 1 half pint of peach salsa (tomato free)
- one 9x13 and one 8x8 peach crisp
- 4 large freezer bags of sliced peaches (lemon juice) for future crisps
- a batch of dehydrated peaches soaked in a honey bourbon marinade
- peach juice

We even had some left over for eating. They are so good!! All of this hardwork pays off since we get to go grocery shopping in our pantry/freezers over winter full of stuff we have grown, canned and hunted. I know what is in my food. It just tastes better than store bought.

Haskap Bourbon BBQ Sauce!!! Made with homegrown onions, garlic and haskaps. It tastes yummy 😋

We will definitely make more. This BBQ sauce will be good with pork, chicken and venison.

Freshly picked haskaps!! We planted our 2 bushes 3 years ago. These berries came off one bush. The other bush needs another day or two.

Have you ever tried haskaps?

Our garden has been productive so far despite the cool wet spring. I made strawberry jam with low sugar pectin. We enjoyed a spinach salad. I plan to replant the spinach so we get a second harvest in the fall.

We picked our garlic scapes today and made pesto and garlic butter.

I plan to hang one of our herb dryers since our oregano is huge. I can also start harvesting some catnip, thyme and lemon balm.

Stay tuned for more pictures/videos!!

We are getting homegrown strawberries 🍓 daily or every second day now. They are so good!!! They taste so much better than anything you can buy.

Who else here is a strawberry lover??

NEW GF donut holes!!! These will be available this fall. These are baked chocolate glaze donut holes. I plan to also have cinnamon sugar, vanilla, carrot cake and pumpkin. I want to make GF apple fritters as well.

I will also be offering mini GF pies. Apple, pumpkin, pecan and some sort of berry.

Which are you most excited about?

Circulation tincture complete!!! I am just making some circulation tea for myself and trying everything out.

I am hoping to add more herbal products soon. Products such as herbal bath salts, salves/rubs i.e. vapourizing rub + aches/pains, herbal sugar/salt scrubs, elderberry kits, self-care boxes, garden produce + seeds, dehydrated herbs and possibly smoked cheese + meats. Mushrooms and microgreens down the road.

Anything else you would like to see?? I had thought about opening up a farm stand here in Edenwold but it might be too far out in the country.

Urban Gardening and Planting with Purpose workbook complete. It is 41 pages!!! I also have a PowerPoint presentation that I will run during the workshop this coming Sunday. I have some hands on activities planned and each person will have me there to help them with their garden planning/design.

I have to make up the gift bags that each person who is attending will receive.

I am excited!!! This is going to be a great in person workshop.

Nature Nurture Wellness will be in Lumsden SK at the Lumsden rink tomorrow from 10 to 3!! 71 vendors in attendance. There will also be a food truck and stuff for kids. I will have my herbal medicinal infusions/decoctions and tinctures, plus aromatherapy products, including my tick/bug and magnesium sprays. Dehydrated fruits, herbs and vegetables. Organically grown on our acreage in Edenwold SK. I will also have my living lockets and charms, plus empowerment necklaces and bracelets.
