CSA: Mothering Herbs

Mothering Herbs Herbal CSA
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a model most often used by vegetable farms: you purchase a share at the beginning of the year and then receive a share of the produce on a regular basis. Now many other groups (herbalists, fermenters, etc.) are doing the same thing to promote their artisanal, organic, and natural products to their communities as well. This herbal CSA/CSH is a bit different in that shares will include herbal products (balms, syrups, vinegars, etc.). Joining a CSA is a great way to support your local food system, explore new herbs and foods, get to know the people who grow and produce your food, and live more sustainably. Mothering Herbs is proud to be the first Herbal CSA in North Alabama!
This is how it works: First ask yourself this question: would you like to receive, once a month, nourishing face and body creams, herbal bath soaks, medicinal herbal balms, delicious herbal teas, and many more of our products? These could be chosen by Mothering Herbs to be in tune with the seasons or you have the option to pick the items you would like in your box. The forms need to be submitted the month before your box is due for pickup as some items need four weeks to make (4-Thieves Vinegar, Infused Oils, etc.) or you can submit all the forms at the beginning of your CSH.
You buy what is called ?shares??meaning a share for 3 months, 6 months, or a year. Your share is delivered to a pick up location and/or can be shipped. The shares are different sizes and different lengths of time and are priced as follows:
Small share= 2 products per month $32.00 per month or 86.40 for three months, 172.80.00 for six months, and 345.60 for a year (10% off for paying in full)
Large share= 6 products per month 72.00. 3 months (194.00) 6 months (388.00) 12 months (777.60)
You can pay by the month (payment due one month before the boxes are prepared) or you can pay for the entire season (3, 6, or 12 months) up front and get a 10% discount!
Each share will contain educational information on each product included, fresh, and small batch blended herbal products as well as recipes and herbal education. And, you will be supporting a local, small, herbal business in your community.
Our Products: All of our products are made in small batches, by hand, with locally-sourced and organic herbs and ingredients. Shares include handmade, organic products that are seasonal favorites and may include the newest creation of the season as well. They may include tincture, balms, herb infused vinegars and oils, body/face cream, baths, sprays, syrups, honeys, teas, and more; all seasonally inspired.
We will also offer a special holiday box that can be shipped to the person of your choice and has the option to contain items for your family (ie Holiday De-stress Spray, Bath, and Tea) or something you can give as gifts (ie lip balms, healing balms, Sprays, Herbal tea blends, Vanilla Extract Kit, Herbalist Kit, etc. ) and we will provide a form so you can fill out your preferences.
