Hi guys, Do you still have turkeys? I am looking at getting turkeys. Can you house chickens and turkeys together?

I am an amateur herbalist and our journey has been similar to yours. My goal is the same as yours to grow as much as we can, but I haven't found a good source for finding seeds for some of those herbs. Have you found a good seed source for herbs that grow well in the states?
Jen, would you ever consider doing a series on the use of a few herbs? I for one would really like that!

Check out the honeystead on KZread she has an amazing apothecary and fantastic videos on use and making teas and tinctures
You have learned so much over the years. When all three of you were little, you only had to take antibiotics 3 different times. After I learned the uses of herbs we just didn't have to take synthetic meds. Love herbs!! Love that you are doing so much with them.
Jen I’m a grower at a plant nursery with a horticulture degree and I’ve been hoping to start my own growing business just for edibles and herbs for culinary and medicinal uses. Loved this video and hope you do more on this subject as there is not a better teacher than hands on and living experience. Thank you.💜

May I suggest looking at the Honeystead You Tube site for inspiration in herbs production. It’s a Mother/Daughter team that have a business in herbs etc. May I also suggest to start buying your 100% vodka ( cheapest is fine) it’s rising in price and should shortages happen it’s also a good bartering item to have…..every time I walk into our Kroger liquor area I have to laugh …I bet the young guy thinks granny is a boozer…..😜
Jen, will you do a video series about each medicinal herb you use, why you use it, and in what form?
Herbs are Gods medicine, they are put here for us, thank you dear Lord
Jenn, I have always had a fascination with herbal, holistic medicine. Then I was dx’d with RA, 35 years ago. It turned to big pharma & now I have up & down challenges with kidney & liver. My daughters have really helped me get back to nature & I am stepping off strong meds & moving to a better life, I have more energy now than I did 10 years ago. I am excited to get an herb book a month & build up my library, I already have a few from gifts. I am focusing on my autoimmune issues, my sweet hubby’s COPD, diabetic issues & allergy issues. If I can conquer just a couple of these challenges I know we would be so much healthier. No one wants to retire & fall apart! We are in our golden years, not the rusted ones. I love you kids so much. I keep telling my hubby we need to stay a week at the cortège on the hill so I can learn more from you. Thanks for standing firm!!! Blessings!!!

Check ebay, I've found some great books on there for low prices.
I grew turmeric in a bucket last year. Gonna try it again this year from last year's harvest.
You also need a good herb book that shows interactions with drugs that some people have to take like heart and blood pressure medications.

@@bonnied3550 I have the Materia Medica of Western Herbs by Carole Fisher. It describes the herb, tells what it is used for, whether internal/external/both, gives dosage, precautions, interactions, etc. It is an excellent resource.
Yes please do a series. It would be nice to do one every two weeks, so we can have time to research and discuss it a little.
Amen on herbs. God gave me a love for herbs. I am growing a medicinal garden and adding more each year. They are God's medicine!
I'm so into herbs. I'm growing at least half of those plus many more. . there's so much to learn in how to use them and what to use them for. Can't wait to see what you are doing with your herbs
Very interesting! I am planting stinging nettle this year in hopes it might help my fibromyalgia/chronic pain issues. Always a pleasure to watch you and learn!

I too have Fibromyalgia/chronic pain, and degenerative disk disease. I really would like to learn natural herbal ways to help with the pain and inflammation. I’ve been on meds for them for so long. I feel that my quality of life would be better if I could get off the meds. I would very much appreciate learning more about herbal medicine. Thank you for sharing Jen.
Thank you Jen for sharing your wisdom!! God bless you and your family!!
I've loved growing my own herbs and making tinctures and salves. Every year I try and grow something new. Side note I just want to say I love how Zach watches you while you're talking. He looks so proud even if it's your interest and not his ❤️it shows how much he loves you.
i just started doing medicinal herbs last year and have been building up my herbal garden...been learning a ton...last year when i first started i collected TONS of mullein from my sisters house....then all of a sudden we had TONS growing here at our house....this came into a big play this year with covid....super excited for this year to plant so much more....thks for this great video....looking forward to many more....
Ive spent the past 3 years studying and learning herbs and the medicinal benefits from them. I still don't know them all, but thats the fun thing about learning, it never ends lol. I made the decision in 2020 not to rely on our health care system anymore, its a personal choice and one that Im very much okay with making. Herbs have been thrown to the back burner as an "alternative" to medicine, when in fact there is no better medicine on the planet than herbs and vegetables. Thank you for sharing your bulk herb haul with us! I love Starwest
Jen, I’ve tried many different pain meds, narcotics, NSAIDs, steroids, epidural injections, for acute /chronic pain. The only relief I’ve had was from essential oils which helped within 15 minutes. They helped relaxing my muscles and allowing me to continue with PT to help realign my spine, regain function of my hands,etc. . As a Nurse I can’t advise people to take them but as a patient I know what worked for me without bad side effects. I look forward to learning more about medicinal medicine & pray that Western Medicine continues to adapt more medicinal medications. There is a need for both and in time hopefully we will find that balance.
I ordered some Mullein seeds, that’s supposed to be good for respiratory ailments. I would definitely watch if you did an herbal series.
I planted elderberry's two years ago, hoping that I get a good harvest this year! Thanks for the info!
Of the herb you listed; chaste tree, turmeric, valerian, astragulus, anice are the only ones I don't grow but I'm currently trying to sprout some turmeric root. I like to grow or be able to gather everything I might need. You should look into usnea, I bet you can find it in your area, it's referred to as the Doxycycline of the plant world. I always have a jar of it sitting on the shelf.
I've been getting very interested in herbs and the work of God's natural medicine. Our house of 5 just got over and is still trying to get rid of the nasty cough from our chest colds. Great video ☺️ have a blessed weekend.
Been doing herbs for 40+ yrs, love my apothecary!!! You may want to consider mugwort. Awesome for you and your family keep them healthy ❤️❤️❤️
Jenn if I could suggest a great book. “ The lost book of Herbal Remedies”. It’s a great book of knowledge. Many of the things you could find right on your property
I would love a series where you show us how to do one remedy/ show especially for us beginners. It is one thing to read it,(I’m a visual learner) but to see it done would be great. Maybe one a week? Thanks for all you do!
Love when you share herb knowledge. Your salves are wonderful. I am curious about how you’re going to do with Burdock roots.
One item can treat multiple conditions. Example: mullein tea is more effective for asthma than tincture or capsules. Dandelion roots are specific for specific conditions where the leaves are effective for specific others and flowers are specific for others. So research is key. Also... Echinacea roots need to become established for 4-5 years before harvesting. I have an herbalist friend who has helped me so much identifying plants on my property where I can go out and harvest and encourage to grow and utilize the things that are there. Teaching me what is harmful and what is good medicine. I also love Rosemary's books they are my favorite resources. I created a bed specific for my stinging nettle to keep it contained so that it's not out in the grass or where anybody can get poked as they walk by. I generally warn people that that is not mint so not to touch it. I harvest it through the year, to dry, powder and tincture or capsulate.
This is such a great video. I Love love love herbs too. Prob my favorite things to grow. Oregano is another great one to have. Has great antibiotic properties.
I have bought fresh turmeric and dehydrated to put in teas along with ginger. I actually just bought both of those to plant my own because I’m using so much in my teas.
I have been using ginger for as long as I can remember. Having a great deal of digestive issues all my life & ginger offered relief. I think it was my grandmother who started giving me real ginger ale with the bubbles stirred out. I have carried that with me & expanded on it. I’m a nurse & everyone I worked with knew I had ginger tea with me at all times, when a resident felt I’ll & they were on call they would seek me out for one of teas.
Our daughter and son-in-law have done the herbs, tinctures, etc. forever! Grandkids never go to the dr. They also homeschool as well and kids are now almost done!
Love this so much! The people need this info! The earth has everything we need for health! So many helpful herbs grow wildly too! Just keep your eyes open!(chickweed/cleavers/violets/mullein/yarrow/dandelion) and so many more! Get outdoors and meet your local wild medicine cabinet!💚🌱✌🏼
Ya Know... You could talk about herbs all the time and it would never be enough. Thank you for doing this. I've been treating myself and (sometimes) my husband and daughter with herbs, EO's, tinctures etc for several years. This is the year I decided to start growing a medicinal herb garden. I've been researching all the different herbs, which ones are most useful and how to grow them and I bought seeds for them. I live in North Central Arkansas where Burdock, Chickweed and Nettle are 'weeds' so I didn't need to find any seeds for those. Thank you for this and for being willing to step forward to talk about it.
Awhile back I watched a video of yours where you mentioned the benefits of lemon balm tincture on cold sores. I grew some lemon balm and made a tincture and I have had the occasion to put it to the test a couple times this winter and I must say, I am very pleased with the results.

I'm fascinated with herbs for medicinal purposes. I have a book and grow my own. It's great. I'm pleased you touched on this.
hey guys,it's nearly spring,, haven't watched for a while,today new day still love yall tho.
I had a horrible infection of some sort in my nose, after being sick. Your Calendula Salve provided instant relief, until it healed. ♥️
Love that thing you have your eggs in!!! So cool!
I really loved you show today I'm heading to the library tomorrow. My Dr had my get turmeric and put it in capsules and take 3 times a day for a frozen shoulder and it really worked it helped with pain and help heal so much faster.
Go-ooo 📣 Jenn! Learning and growing 🌿herbs . One of my better interests! ❤ your new garden spaces 🌱🌻
Dandelion and burdock are weeds that everyone tries to eradicate but, they grow everywhere and are useful.
I love that you share so much information and you are always so encouraging to others, thank you
I just read medicinal uses of black walnut leaves and skins, made me think of your trees
Thank you! You have inspired me to resume my passion for natural remedies.
Way to go,Jenn ! Keep it up....you doin' good
I froze some of my lemongrass for tea and it dramatically helped me when I got the CV one nine.
Awesome, love this! Only warning I have is be very careful with turmeric if you are prone to kidney stones... I saying this first hand!
I found a few of the "weeds" in my yard were actually medicinal plants. Mullein, milk thistle, & also horsehair.
My best "home remedy " that my mom used was bacon fat to remove glass or slivers.
Thank you for this video! It has come at the perfect time. After my battle with cancer (1 year free now) I want to take things into my own hands. Grow my own veggies and herbs. Knowing the natural benefits that herbs have to offer is something I want to learn. I will be looking for books and finding out what herbs is best for what ales you. I already use turmeric and ginger in my cooking (fresh and dehydrated) I have started rosemary, mint, sage and plan on expanding my garden this year. I still have a few more weeks to start more herbs and will take this time to read up on this. Again, thank you 🙏🏽
Hi, Jen. Thank you so much for talking about this stuff. I’m a nurse but I have always been much more fascinated by natural and holistic medicine. I did a deep dive with essential oils a few years back but have just recently been trying to learn more about herbs and how to use them in the right way. I know this platform has rules that prevent you from REALLY sharing your knowledge but any information on this topic is going to be great. Thanks again, Jen. ~~ Jen from Massachusetts

Sorry, meant to spell Jenn with two N’s…
Ordered the book! I have used essential oils for many years and want to add more herbs. Thanks for the video. I keep wanting to book a weekend in your cottage and volunteer to help and learn. 🥰
So interesting! I was realizing that so many of the herbs you recommended/bought, I actually have available growing. Two you didn't mention that is used widely in Asian medicine that I also have are ashwaganda and Tulsi/Holy basil. A native herb that I've grown to love that grows as a weed here is wild lettuce. One I don't have that you mentioned that I absolutely want to grow is astragalus. Thank you for sharing! I hope to hear a lot more about how you use herbs!
I’m so thankful for keeping my herbs growing… working on being able to grow year round 💚
JENN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ONCE YOU'VE SET YOUR MIND TO IT, great job on the 30 herbs HUGSSSS
love this video. when you talked about rosemary, i had to smile. i live in california and have a giant rosemary plant that i grew from a 4 inch pot. it is currently 9 ft wide by 6 ft tall! i have grown just because the bees like it and i don’t have to water it!
I normally buy from mountain rose herbs or a local Herb shop that's quite pricey. I'm super happy to see that I have an alternative thank you for sharing
this show I'm gona watch ,herbs interest me,and whatever u have to offer
Hi, I’m a new subscriber, just found y’all this morning I think herbs are amazing My Uncle Ballard lived 15 years because his daughter used herbs to dr him We are in Ky, several years ago we went and seen an iridologist several years back, he was amazing, he was Amish, sadly now he has retired. I look forward to watching more of y’all
I grew up on organic produce from our organic garden, chickens and rabbits. We didn’t see a doctor unless we were dyin’ 😆. I have always preferred natural healing methods … there is so much to learn! I do know that the shelf life of dried herbs is relatively short, so looking forward to seeing you process your haul into tinctures, teas, decoctions, etc. !
Bulk Apothecary sells Starwest Botanicals? Nice....FYI--throw a tsp of turmeric powder into your oatmeal--you won't taste it if you add fruit. Also, Nettle and astragalus iced tea tastes like regular iced tea.
I love doing herbs any time I can. My great grandmother's practice got me interested in this stuff many decades ago. I love wild picked and growing my own, but I can't grow everything. Luckily I have some good sources, too. My first love of weeds is plantain. My second love of weeds is wild lettuce for pain. My third love of weeds is spilanthes. My fourth; catnip, natural Valium. And in no particular order, but I I love: Calendula Black seed Marshmallow or slippery elm Mints Chamomile Fennel
Dry raspberry leaves. Add to tea for women's issues. My favorite way to use them is for labor for women And Goats.
Love this! I'm just starting my 3rd trimester of pregnancy so I need to start chugging the red raspberry leaf tea! I did it with my 1st pregnancy and it made my labor fast and easy!
Jenn I would love to read a book on your herb knowledge... 🤔❤️☺️
Questions: Marshmallow Root…I have a marshmallow weed that grows prolifically in my yards. Is this the same plant you mentioned? Raspberry leaf…is that from regular raspberry bushes? Thank you for all that you share 🙏🏼❤️😊
Great Video!! Love all the info. I've been an avid essential oil user for years. Thanks for addressing the stigma and bias that's sometimes out there for treating our families in these alternative ways. BTW, I agree Bulk Apothecary is amazing!
Thank you so much for this amazing video and all the encouragement that you guys give us. Lots of love and respect from Utah

Great video on herbs. I have raspberry all over on the otherside of my garden. I'll be using it for teas this year. Thanks for so much information. 💖
Jen, thank you for this video!! I have studied herbs for years and have many books but I did not have the one you showed so I just ordered it. I hope you go through each one and tell us what you use it for and show us the steps to make the recipe. This is my favorite subject by the way. We just sold our place to downsize now that we are retired and empty nesters and waiting for our new build. Hubby says no more garden work but I told him I have to have herbs.
Got your calendula salve it works great on my lupus rash which starts as. A painful blister they heal twice as fast thanks for a great product!
Love all you guys do! 💞
I find this subject very interesting. I hope you keep up the videos on the use of herbs. I for one am going to get some of the books you have. Y'all stay safe and God bless.
Love watching your videos! Learn something new every time. :) Can't wait to see your garden tours this year. God Bless!
I have heard and read that you need to add some black pepper to the turmeric for your body to absorb the medicinal benefits from it. Have you heard or read that?

I have so enjoyed this video. I second the idea of more videos from you Jenn on herbs and their use.
Absolutely one of my favorite video contents. Thank you so much. Totally will be taking your advice and research what you informed us about.
If you can find a lorean market they sell fresh burdock root. I think you can root it and plant it also.
So glad to see you do this! It's a passion of mine also and in our new home I'm planning on growing as many as I can but also building up my apothecary cabinet.
Thank you so much! I got my lemon balm tincture in today.
Love this topic.. fresh grower lemon balm makes a great tea.
LOVE this!! 💜💜 I love your chamomile and elderberry tinctures. I have my own planted but they aren't to the level to harvest yet. Your comfrey salve is a Godsend! My herb garden is tripling this year.
Lol I agree google isn’t for everything best information is in books! (Old school)!😉
I can't find the video where Jen shares what to do to get what you need to get from your county to sell these things., like any licences. I have gotten several of these plants in my own garden because of your know how. Then I started buying the books. Thank you so much for sharing.
You should write a book about the herbs, with recipes for what you use them for... Sure lots of us would buy it. Just something for you to think about. 😉
I tried to grow calendula last year and it was an utter failure. Not sure if I’ll get to garden at all this year but I’ll try again someday.
I work in the medical profession and treat myself and anyone in my world that is interested herbally... With great success. And I take alot grief for it. Until they need something....
Jen, David Hoffman has some outstanding books on herbalism. Especially his book on digestion issues called. Healthy digestion. His holistic herbal is great also and The Herbalist. I have totally enjoyed studying The Herbal Apothecary by JJ Pursell. I think they would be beneficial in your journey of study. I too have been studying for a long time.
Thank you Jen for this video! It was so helpful and informative. I just ordered the encyclopedia and opened an account at bulk apothecary ❤️.
Great job yall I've been waiting on this video. I would love more videos about growing herbs & your apothecary stock, when you get it going good.
Would like to know more about worming goats with herbs
Thank you Jenn and Zach 🕊 Turmeric can be used for plant care as well.
Jen love that you are sharing this.💜 Nothing better than God's medicine.
I think this is amazing!! What's your opinion on Gojo berry's? Jen you're a wonderful person , you have worked so hard to learn so many wonderful thing's!! Blessings to you all!!!
I loved this video on herbs! I'm so much looking forward to more!
Love this video. Keep with the info Jen. Very interested
Great video Love seeing the confidence growing Great information 😇
The raspberry leaf can be used in livestock also
Thanks for a great insight into getting started on (in my honest opinion) a really important subject. Could you possibly link the herb use website? Thank you. You guys are really putting up great content. Thank you for sharing with us 💗
