The New Wild Brews Blog!

Wild Brews has a new blog! This is very exciting, and I hope to reach more of you about the joys of home herb-craft, brewing, and wild plant know-how through this new site. There are plenty of herbalists out there already, but in my opinion, there can never be enough caring people in the areas of herbal knowledge, natural health and education. Time to take to the forests, the fields, and the kitchen laboratory!

Wild Brews is a book series (currently online only) that focuses on herbal knowledge and making herbal remedies, from teas and tinctures to ciders, smoothies and medicinal wines with an herbal component. Learn to heal what ails you naturally, while having fun in the process!
