We noticed it interesting that up at the highest point in the park we found Alders, ferns, waterleaf, which associate to with lower elevation near water. Sure enough there was water coming from somewhere up there, however, we did not find the source.
Today, I dehydrated the Hawthorn Berries that have been in my freezer since fall 2011. They came from Woods, who harvested them from the farm. I finally processed the berries today and made a tincture. I also make Poplar Bud tincture from some buds I found on the ground on my walk in the woods.
Tincture:
Hawthorne (Crataegus spp.)
- 50%; Grain Alcohol
- Farmageddon
- 3-16oz jars; dried berries
- 42 ounces
Tincture:
Poplar (Populus trichocarpa)
- 100%; Grain Alcohol
- forest floor near Sandy River
- 8oz fresh buds
Lucky me! I’ve been gifted tinctures today including, Wormwood, Valerian, Fennel, Lemon Balm and Burdock Seed. I was able to share tinctures with my friend as well.
