our farm-sourced botanicals

We rely on the generosity and health of our farm environment for our fortune, food, and medicine: we are deeply invested in its thriving.

 

Our blends, remedies, and distillations celebrate the medicinal, aromatic plants, herbs, flowers, and foods on our farm and in our area--and our stewardship is focused on faithfully nurturing the habitat and ecosystem we share.

​

Our North Idaho homestead, Five Element Farm, offers an abundance of aromatic, herbal, and medicinal treasures including:

​

Calendula • German Chamomile • Lavender

• St. John’s Wort • Yarrow • Catnip •

Peppermint • Rose • Borage • Echinacea •

Violet • Garlic • Hops • Mullein • Hawthorn • Lilac • Elderflower • Elderberry • Wormwood • Lemon Balm • Plantain •

Balsam Poplar • Willow • Douglas Fir •

Grand Fir • Goldenrod • Hollyhock

 

For almost 20 years, we've gathered our skills, experience, and wisdom so as to best support, nurture, celebrate, and engage our farm's medicine.

 

Though we may not engage hundreds of different botanicals, we know the dozens of botanicals we do engage extremely well.

 

Our farm-distilled hydrosols, inspired co-distillations, celebrated infused oils, phytotherapy blends, and skincare formulas reflect our level of relationship, intimacy, listening, and love.

 

These medicines come to life all around us, year over year. We recognize our St. John's wort at its peak for infusing, our lavender at its most fragrant for distilling, our calendula at its most resinous for dehydrating.

 

We emphasize reciprocity, stewardship, harmony, and balance. It isn't merely quality over quantity, it's communion and community over consumption. 

 

Our batches are small, our scope is limited, our offerings are seasonal/dynamic, and our products aren't available many places. That's because our remedies and recipes feature exceptional medicines in inspired formulas.
