Are you ready for Flu Season? This tincture has always gotten us through, so we began extracting it ourselves in small batches last year, from our own elderberries and propolis. “Bee Well” is made with love from biologic Elderberries, Elder Flowers, and Propolis. For immune support.* #urbanfarming #tinctures #elderberry #propolis #bees #immuneboost #immunesupport #apothecary https://ixchel.love/product/small-batch-elderberry-propolis-tincture/

Winterized the last hive today. This block of three frames of crazy comb was one I was looking forward to retiring from the hive. Last year’s experiment of using bamboo skewers didn’t work well. Using wire frames and separating the empty frames with drawn comb to prevent these artist bees from getting all creative again. #beekeeping #honeycomb #permaculture #bees #beeswax

Well, when the big one hits California, we will have plenty of fermented apple leather to eat. Gifts from our two mature apple trees. #yummysnack #applecidervinegar #fermentation #homestead #permaculture #acv #fruitrollup

Midway through fermenting apple cider vinegar. Straining apples out today. The mothers are setting up nicely. A lovely apple sauce occurring from double strainer. Anyone make fermented sauce from it? ????????❤️ #fermentation #applecidervinegar #homestead #permaculture #acv
