We filled the patio with the harvested indigo! Much better yield on second harvest. Fingers crossed we will get a third before weather changes. #fibershed #indigocollective #indigo #indigodye #naturaldye #homestead

Second harvest has begun. Looks like this one will be much more than first. Yay! #fibershed #naturaldye #naturaldyes #indigodye #indigo #naturalfibers #permaculture

We started apple cider (hard) and apple elderberry cyser mead last night. Grateful for the gifts of the heirloom apple trees here at the #homestead. #fermentation #homebrew #mead #cyser #cider #honeywine #permaculture

I love old pantries! The apple cider vinegar from our heirloom apples is cooking now. Coming soon to the 8th & Bee farmstand… #applecidervinegar #homesteading #homestead #fermentation #pantry #apples #heirloomapples #diy

Tiffany and I pressing apples at the @slowfoodrussianriver community press. Came home with 6 gallons of juice for cider and way more pulp than we expected, to turn into apple cider vinegar. Looks like we’ll need more mason jars. 🙂 #homesteading #fermentation #apples

#Feverfew is known to be helpful to treat headaches, reduce fever, and help with digestion. Ours is looking spiffy and will be turned into a tincture soon. Photobomb by some of our indigo plants in the background. #urbangarden #medicinal #herb #8thnbee

Golden Delicious apples gettin’ ripe on our 25+ year old heirloom tree. To the apple press we go this weekend! Planning the juice for some hard cider and the pulp for apple cider vinegar. #homestead #urbangarden #heirloomapples #gardening #fallharvest
