Farm School: Herbal Solar Oils & Summer Salves
Herbal Solar Oils & Summer Salves
at Swallowtail Farmstead
Please inquire to be added to our waiting list.
Learn to make a variety of infused oils, salves & balms for first aid, gardening hands, dry skin, insect bites and more.
Folk herbalism has a long tradition of using simple herbs (including flowers, leaves, roots, berries) to create healing salves & balms. You can make your own herbal infused oils & salves to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Using herbs harvested & foraged from our farmstead and gardens, plus organic carrier oils, beeswax and pure essential oils, we will make infused oils and salves together. We will talk about best herbs for skin care, how to make solar oils, and other methods for infusing herbal oils. Then we will turn a pre-made calendula herbal oil into an all-purpose healing salve for you to take home.
Workshop fee includes all instructions, recipes, hand-out notes, ingredients, jars, and tins. Each participant will take home a small jar of herbal solar oil and a tin of salve.
One child/youth is welcome to attend (free) with a registered adult. In order for us to keep track of numbers, please notify us in advance if you are bringing a child/youth with you.
