Infused Oils & Salves For The Homestead

Tickets are $25 per participant. You will reserve your ticket and we will call you with ticketing information OR you will be able to pay at customer service before or on the day of the workshop.

In this class, we will learn the basics of making infused oils and salves, discuss a variety of herbs and essential oils that make useful infused oils and salves and discover the benefits of these remedies on the homestead. I'll be sharing several recipes for some of my favorite herbal home remedies along with easy to follow instructions.

I'll walk you step by step through the process with a live demonstration giving you the opportunity to make an infused oil to take with you to start your very own home apothecary!

INSTRUCTOR BIO:

I’m a farmer’s wife, mom, grandma and nurse. My family lives on a farm and raise registered angus cattle, chickens and children (and now grandchildren too!). We grow a garden, pick berries, forage for herbs, gather eggs and do a lot of canning!

Here on the farm we strive to make do with the resources we have around us just like “the old days”. Some folks call our way of life homesteading, others compare it to off-grid living or prepping. We just call it farm life.

Grandma Bea's Natural Products is a result of this lifestyle. All-natural products, essential oils and home remedies personally made on our family farm in rural southeast Missouri. I create the products in small batches using natural ingredients like herbs and essential oils to insure quality and freshness. What started as a mom making her family's natural skin care items and home remedies out of financial need and a desire to live more naturally, has now turned into a small business that helps other families live more naturally too! Nothing artificial - just wholesome and homemade!

I have 20 years nursing experience specializing in pharmaceuticals and studied herbalism under the direction of Rosemary Gladstar. I teach classes at our homestead on foraging, home remedies, homesteading as well as offer online courses. I have also taught a homesteading series of classes for Southeast Missouri State University. I've enjoyed presenting lectures and classes at homesteading conferences and also host a natural living conference here on our farm.
