If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better.

Hey pioneers and welcome to episode number 315.

Today's episode is 15.

Today's episode is really an amazing story and one that I was so intrigued by that I had to ask her to come on the podcast and share her experience with us. It's going to be talking about eating an entire year of hand-harvested food only. and yes, you heard that right,

a complete 12 month, one year cycle.

So in this episode, I'm going to be talking to Alexia, who is from Hawthorne Farms, which is an 8-acre teaching farm where she lives and works alongside her husband Daniel. And she is going to tell us exactly what a year's

worth of hand harvested food means. If you are going to take on a project like this, what are some things that you need to be considering, planning and doing beforehand?

One of the most important crops and the crops that they grow. I think you are going to absolutely love this episode and I cannot wait for you to hear Alexia's story and be as inspired as I was.
