Our TRANSPORT smoking blend, posing with my Uncle Ed's homemade corn cob pipe, circa 1971.
When I tell someone that I'm an herb farmer, their response, about 41% of the time, will be a conspiratorial "Oh?" accompanied by an eyebrow raise and perhaps an inquiry about acquiring some herb. It's time to set the record straight.

The March Decadence Share
Beauty itself is healing.
Welcome to the Spring Decadence Share! We are thrilled to kickoff this season, and we hope you are too. We are equally excited to send out our first Decadence Shares. This share was inspired by the conviction that beauty itself is healing. Plants communicate with us through their vibrant appearance, flavor, and aroma. The herbal goodies you will receive in this share are designed to capture those magical characteristics and the healing properties that they impart. Your only job is to enjoy them to the fullest extent of the moment.
With gratitude,
Amanda, Jamie, & the Locust Light Family
Herbal Blossoms
Facial Cleansing Balm
A blend of coconut & jojoba oils infused with calendula, white yarrow, and lavender
It seems strange to “wash” your skin with oil, but give it a try! Your skin needs oil to be healthy. When the oil becomes dirty, pores can get clogged which causes acne. Washing with oil replaces dirty oil with clean oil, and this oil will nourish your skin with calendula, white yarrow, and lavender. This is safe and effective even for those who have “oily” skin.
TO USE
Massage into face. The balm is safe for use on eyelids and area around the eyes, and is great for removing makeup. After massaging, rinse with warm water, or hold a hot washcloth over the face to steam off excess oil. Pat dry.
This balm also makes an excellent moisturizer that is safe for all areas of the body.
Lavender & Lemon Balm Herbal Honey
Local honey infused with lavender and lemon balm
A delicious spread that imparts the healing properties of lavender and lemon balm. Flavor and healing in one adorable package: this is what the Decadence Share is all about.
TO USE
Spread on toast, stir into tea, or drizzle over yoghurt or ice cream. Enjoy.
Gilded Dreams Herbal Bath Salts
Epsom salts blended with calendula, lemon balm, lavender, and chamomile; scented with essential oils of lavender, rose geranium, atlas cedar, carrot seed, and eucalyptus
As the salts soothe your muscles, let the aroma of herbs carry your spirit to the realm of carefree dreams.
TO USE
Sprinkle a handful of the salts into bath water. Lightly stir to dissolve the salts before entering the bath.
