Growing Instructions:
Soften the seeds by soaking them in water for 2 hours, then plant in full sun and well drained soil 4 weeks before the last expected frost OR midsummer for a fall harvest. Sow them 1” deep and 1” apart in rows 1-2” apart. Tamp down the earth above the seeds to ensure good contact with the soil and germination should take place in 5-15 days. Add compost or other organic matter for healthy growth. For companion planting, plant beets with bush beans, onions, or members of the cabbage family, but avoid planting near pole beans. Since each beet “seed” holds up to 8 actual seeds, the seedlings will need to be thinned to 3” apart. Take care not to bruise the seedlings when thinning. They love cool weather, and can survive in temperatures down to 25° F.
When harvesting, beets have the best taste and tenderness when they are harvested between 1-3” in diameter. After pulling them, twist off the tops about 1” up the stem to prevent the beets from bleeding. In order to preserve the coloring of Chioggia beets, process them whole and slice right before serving. The beet tops which are similar to spinach matures in roughly 40 days. Roughly ⅓ of the tops can be harvested without damaging the plant.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
