2026 market update!
I have had folks reaching out to see if we are going to be at markets this season so I thought I would just do a post about what this coming season holds for Wandering Bee Farm.
We had our house for sale last fall but took it off before the holiday season hit so we could relax with family time. The plan has been to get it relisted this spring. Obviously spring is about through haha life has been lifeing extra as per usual but we are still planning on getting it listed again and finding somewhere with more space to roll out the dreams we have been dreaming for the last years.
At the beginning of this year, my health took even more of a dive than it had been for the last 3 years and my body said alright enough is enough, get this figured out or else haha. So after years of avoiding Dr's because of being deep in the mom trenches, I am now seeing a psychologist, therapist, and functional Dr with many appts throughout each month. Telehealth is the greatest. My mental health is slowly getting better and turns out there is a very long list of why I have had so many stomach and immune issues for the last decade. Finding a dr who listened and threw all the tests at me has been the most validating experience (shout out at , could not reccomend more!). So that is my biggest priority this year. Finally get feeling well.
All that to say, markets are not the priority going into this summer season. We might pop up at a few of our favorite places, we might not. I am just focusing on one day at a time for now.
I will still be making and selling products occasionally but am going to try to lean heavier on selling dried loose herbs I harvest. My website is always open and up to date. I can ship just about anywhere or do porch pickup for those who live in the treasure valley area. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions about anything.
Thank you as always to those who support this little business of mine. It has been such a joy to connect with so many of you throughout the years and I am so grateful and excited for whatever comes next💚

Tonight's harvest! Motherwort!
This is a plant I really fell in love with last year. It is a spiky tall plant that demands you don't miss her. She is used for the heart and for hormonal balance, particularly for those managing menstruation. Motherwort is also a wonderful nervine, perfect for calming anxiety and scattered energy. She supports digestion as a gentle bitter.
She is a vital part of both my Hormone Harmony Tincture and Heart's Ease Tincture.

Today's harvest was a giant basket of catmint! I love this fragrant purple flower. It is beautiful for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Cats also enjoy it.
Catmint is a gentle nervine which means it is calming to the body and mind. This also means it is calming to the digestive system. It is wonderful to reduce mild anxiety, stress, or aid with sleeplessness. This is one of the key ingredients in my Feel Good tea blend.
One of my goals this year is to actually offer more of the herbs I grow. This has always been a backbone of what I wanted to, I just haven't taken the time with everything else going on in life. So that changes this year! Website updates coming soon!

We may have gotten skunked with morel mushrooms in the mountains today but I was able to forage/find a lot of different plants. Harvested hawthorn flowers and leaves, arnica flowers, and cleavers and identified miners lettuce that was everywhere!
