Intricately Connected

We make our products in small, seasonal batches and source almost exclusively from the Catskill Mountains, where we’ve developed deep relationships with the land and local farmers.

This is a copper still. We use it to hand distill a variety of plants into hydrosols, or floral waters. The oldest known alembic still is nearly 4000 years old!

  • Cleavers

    Galium aparine

    Sometimes called “stickyweed,” cleavers are well-known to hikers and gardeners for taking a ride on pant legs. Oddly enough, this tender green is an ideal springtime tonic known by herbalists for helping bodies to let go instead of clinging on! Cleavers support the systems of detoxification and overall kidney function.* Its leaves are often used fresh in herbal juices (a.k.a. a succus) or preserved in vinegar or a tincture.

    Where it's from

    We gather ours from an abundant and green riparian buffer in the Catskill Mountains.

    What It's In

  • Nettle

    Urtica dioica

    An earthy springtime green and potent source of vitamins and minerals, like A, C, E, iron, and calcium. Traditionally, this nutrient-dense herb is collected when young, and the leaves are prepared in seasonal foods–like pesto and creamy soups–and preserved in teas, tinctures, and vinegars. We use this tonic to strengthen our bodies during the shifting seasons and to support sinus and respiratory system health.*

    Where it's from

    We harvest nettle from stands we tend year over year in the Hudson Valley and supplement with organically grown nettle from our friends at Foster Farms in Calais, Vermont.

  • Violet

    Viola spp.

    Energetically cooling and moistening, violet is known as a demulcent in herbalism–which means it soothes irritated tissues inside and out.* Violet’s heart-shaped leaves and delicate purple flowers are traditionally enjoyed in spring teas, sprinkled over cakes,  infused into nourishing topical oils, or preserved in tinctures and vinegars.

    Where it's from

    We collect our violet flowers and leaves from the Hudson Valley.

  • Dandelion

    Taraxacum officinale

    One of the most misunderstood weeds by most, but beloved by herbalists. The root is roasted for an earthy coffee-like flavor and used as a bitter to stimulate and support healthy digestive system function.* The leaves are nutrient-dense and good for supporting the kidneys and natural systems of detoxification.* Dandelion is traditionally used in salads, soups, teas, tinctures, and bitters.

    We dig up our hearty, wild dandelion from land we tend to in the Hudson Valley.

    What It's In

  • Sweet Birch

    Betula lenta

    A prolific and well-loved plant native to the Northeast and Appalachia ecosystems. When you scratch the tree’s twigs it releases a fragrant wintergreen aroma, which can be carefully extracted from the tree’s bark. Its lightly spicy and caramel-like taste has made it a favorite addition to rootbeer and herbal teas. The methyl salicylate present in birch is similar to compounds found in aspirin, making it a popular herb for minor discomforts internally and externally.*

    Where it's from

    Collected in the birch groves of the Catskill mountains.

    What It's In

  • Chickweed

    Stellaria media

    Chickweed is a native to Europe that’s now a naturalized “weed” throughout North America and beyond. This ground cover generally pops up in early spring and is appropriately named, as it’s beloved by both humans and chickens. Traditionally this cooling, vibrant green is infused into herbal salads, vinegar, and formulas for a boost of nutrition–including calcium, magnesium, iron, and vitamin C. Topically it’s commonly used in a poultice or salve to soothe minor irritations.*

We use the leaves in our herbal formulas to support cognitive health.*

    These mushrooms are built tough and strong enough to support your immune system through the changing seasons. Unlike the more tender fungi, turkey tail mushrooms are super hardy and are best when cooked down into broth, tinctures, or ground up for beverages. They contain a high level of beta-glucans which support overall body health and give a boost to the immune system.*

    Hericium erinaceus

    Crataegus spp.

     Hawthorn leaves, flowers, and fruit contain chemical compounds that have been studied and shown to increase blood flow to the heart, as well as support overall cardiovascular health.* Energetically, hawthorn opens the heart to forgiveness and is believed by many herbalists to soothe grief.

  • Saffron

    Crocus sativus

    Beloved since ancient times, this ruby-red spice was commonly used by royalty in Egypt and Persia, where it was used as an ink, dye, oil, and for medicinal purposes. In Rome, it was sprinkled along the paths walked by important people and on the beds of newlyweds as a symbolic gesture and likely a nod to the warm and luxurious feelings the plant evokes. The name “saffron” evolved gradually but has roots in the Persian word “zarparān,” which translates to “golden leaves.” The precious red threads (or stamens) produce a vibrant yellow hue when cooked or extracted. This herb is revered cross-culturally as a semi-sweet and highly aromatic delicacy that gives a glow to everything it touches. Notably, it’s used in dishes like Persian rice cakes, Spanish paellas, French rouille sauce, Italian risotto, Indian korma, and many more. Herbalists of past and present turn to this herb to ease nervous tensions and boost overall mood.*
