Bulk herbs are affordable, eliminate waste, and are the building blocks of an herbal home pharmacy. Having a good assortment of herbs allows one to customize teas daily depending on your needs and can be also utilized in cooking, and transformed into syrups, tinctures, and various herbal preparations.
Some details on New Moon’s bulk selection:
🌸Most of what we carry is organic
🌺We also source herbs locally- my garden and wild crafted.
🌸Herbs are sold by the ounce, but you don’t have to buy a whole ounce!
🌺With two Clinical Herbalists here, we offer custom blending at no additional charge.
We are open for retail/custom blending each Wednesday 2-6 and Fridays 10-2. We are also available by appointment. Just call ahead as when we are serving our clients we lock our door.

This is my volunteer mullein I’ll leave in the vegetable garden to get huge, attract pollinators, canoodle with, and generally admire. I’ll harvest mullein from our land in other edges- this one is will be left to just admire.
❤️Specials this week!

I’m sharing my bounty! My German Camomile patch is in full bloom and in the heat of the day smells like liquid honey- attracting pollinators galore. Stop by New Moon today 2-6 or Friday 10-2 and pick up a free fresh bundle of chamomile!
The benefits of chamomile:
🌼Natural source of absorbable calcium, one of the reasons it soothes tense muscles and reduces cramping.
🌼A gentle sedative for restorative sleep and frazzled nerves.
🌼As a topical, it relieves itchy skin, rashes, bug bites, and minor wounds.
🌼A soothing digestive aid for upset stomach
🌼As a hair rinse it brings out blonde highlights
🌼Its slight bitterness is supportive to liver and gallbladder health.
Or- just stick it in a vase and enjoy its sweet scent!

Dandelion love! Last chance to sign up for tomorrow’s Foraging for Wild Foods workshop, or Sunday’s Building an Herbal Home Pharmacy held at Retreat and Learn in Newburg.
New Moon’s Wellness Shop open today 10-2. Christine Gordon is having a Mother’s Day sale on her product line and today RootBound Farms Provisional Market is having their soft opening right around the corner.
A few dandelion facts:
🌼The leaves are super nutrient-dense full of vitamins, calcium, potassium, magnesium and zinc.
🌼The root is also rich in nutrients and roasted it makes a good coffee substitute.
🌼Dandelion root and leaf are diuretic, support healthy blood sugar, cleanse the liver and gallbladder, promotes healthy skin, and improves digestive function.
🌼🌼🌼I’ll stop there but there are so many uses for this amazing plant!

Wild onion pickles are on the menu for Saturday’s foraging class! A big part of this workshop is learning what to do with the edible plants in our neck of the woods, how to prepare them and enjoy in tasty culinary treats.
Technically, these are made with field garlic, and while I emphasize positive identification and botanical names in the class, wild onion pickles just have a better ring recipe-wise!
Just a couple spots left for this class on 5/2 and Sunday’s class- “Building an Herbal Home Pharmacy,” where we will make lots of herbal preparations focusing on 20 key herbs.
