This month’s Apothecary Box is devoted to lemon balm, one of our favorite herbs for bringing a little brightness and calm into the day.

Each box includes 1 oz of dried lemon balm, 1 oz of our handcrafted lemon balm extract, and 1 oz of lemon balm oil, all grown and prepared with care here at the farm. Fresh, fragrant, and full of sunshine, lemon balm is a beautiful herb to welcome into your home apothecary.

You can also visit this month’s Gathering Basket blog to learn more about lemon balm’s health benefits, culinary uses, propagation, harvesting, preparation methods, and the deep relationship we have built with this special plant.

Subscribe to the Apothecary Box or purchase this month’s box while supplies last.

Lemon Balm is one of those plants I can’t walk past without reaching down to touch a leaf. Its bright lemon scent rises immediately, and when it flowers, the bees seem to find it before anyone else does.

In the newest blog, I’m sharing more about how I grow and harvest Lemon Balm, why regular cutting is the secret to keeping it well behaved, and how I use the dried leaf for tea, tincture, and infused oil. I also share some of the ways I reach for it when stress settles into the nervous system or the stomach, along with one of my favorite cooling summer tea blends.

We’re excited to introduce Regenerative Mycology, one of the farms in the Meeting House Farm Collaborative.

Based in Dryden, New York, Regenerative Mycology is an off-grid mushroom farm led by Certified Mushroom Forager Darren Johnson. His work is rooted in regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, sustainable foraging, and a deep respect for the forest ecosystems that make mushroom cultivation possible.

From carefully cultivated turkey tail and reishi to sustainably foraged mushrooms, every harvest is timed with close attention to freshness, flavor, and potency. Darren also shares his knowledge through mushroom forays, cultivation workshops, and community events.

Read the full farm story at the link and learn more about the thoughtful work happening at Regenerative Mycology.

Last month’s Apothecary Box featured Wood Betony, a beloved herb for grounding, tending the nervous system, and supporting the body through moments of tension and overwhelm.

This month, we’re turning toward Lemon Balm.

July’s Apothecary Box features 1 oz of dried Lemon Balm, 1 oz of Lemon Balm extract, and 1 oz of Lemon Balm oil, all grown and crafted by hand here at the farm.

In the fullness of summer, Lemon Balm feels like just the right plant to spend time with. Bright, calming, gently uplifting, and deeply loved, it’s one of our favorite herbs to add fresh to water for our farm hands to enjoy throughout the day.

Each Apothecary Box is created to help you slowly build your home apothecary while deepening your relationship with one plant at a time.

Available as a monthly subscription or as a one-time purchase. Only 50 boxes are offered each month, so we encourage you to reserve yours early.

We have seedlings to share with local organizations!

Meeting House Farm currently has tomato, pepper, lettuce, and herb seedlings available for donation. We would love for these plants to find a home with community gardens, food access programs, schools, nonprofits, or other local organizations that can put them to good use.

Pickup is required, and we do ask that pots be returned so we can reuse them for future seasons.

Interested organizations, please reach out so we can coordinate details. Thank you for helping these plants make their way into the community.

Fresh milky oats are here for one brief season only. Grown at Kennebec Oat Farm, a certified organic saltwater farm in Downeast Maine, these oats are tended by John and Cathy Allis, Emily’s parents, in fields rooted in Maine’s rich coastal soils and kissed by salt mist.

Milky oats are harvested at a fleeting stage when the green oat seed head is plump with milk, full of nourishing vitamins, minerals, and vitality drawn up from the soil. Fresh milky oats are especially prized for making alcohol-based tinctures that support and restore the nervous system.

This harvest comes just once a year, and quantities are limited.

Pre-order by July 3 to reserve your fresh milky oats from Kennebec Oat Farm.

Multiflora rose: wild rose, invasive rose, thorny menace… and, somehow, a plant we’ve grown to love.

This week on the blog, we’re sharing the story of Rosa multiflora at Meeting House Farm: her thorns, her unforgettable June fragrance, her vitamin C-rich hips, and the surprising ways harvesting her has helped us work with this invasive plant rather than only fight against it.

Read the full story on the blog, and stay tuned for details about our October soap-making workshop on Monhegan Island.
