Today, we grow productive, integrated hedgerows of herbs and other beneficial plants. Our herbs thrive and expand in a permaculture regenerative farming practice. Our synergistic hedgerows not only produce herbs for our salves, but also helps protect the animals of our area. We feed birds, bees, and our blind racoon, Sally. Plus, we feed us so we can care for the plants and animals that thrive in our environmental oasis.
I also, did a stint preparing for Veterinary School at U.C. Davis and spent time with doing animal rescue with Fish and Game. Naturally, I trained animals, rescued many aged horses, had crows, cats and more when I was growing up.
And a painting studio was built with my painting partner, Phil Dynan, to paint in and garden with, and then animals started showing up. A friend says I have animal magnetism. I think they see the garden I love and want to live in it too. So we have salves that benefit many beautiful beings. We hope you enjoy the salves and knowing you are benefiting the environment and fellow beings - including you!
