Little Red Bird Herbal CSA is building upon the CSA model by adding herbal medicines into the mix. Membership is a great way to build a home supply of herbal medicines, learn more about how to use local plants, and explore new ways of being in control of our own health.
Each month from May through November members receive a package of herbs prepared as tinctures, loose teas, salves, vinegars, syrups, etc, and information about how to use them. Members pick up their shares at a common location, and each pickup includes a plant walk to explore identification and uses of common local plants or a class about making herbal remedies at home.
