Whether you're decking the halls, lighting the menorah, preparing for a feast, or hibernating this time of year, I wanted to make sure you knew about all the great gifts from The WANDER School - this is a small yet mighty woman-owned and operated business that exists to inspire nature reconnection and health empowerment. 

So, for anyone on your list who is wild food or herb curious...look no further.
It's never too early to start planning your holiday gift giving, and with Small Business Saturday right around the corner we wanted to get you thinking about gifts we have available. Read on, let us know if you have any questions, and as always...green blessings.

Abby's Book
​The Herbal Handbook for Homesteaders

Picture
The Herbal Handbook for Homesteaders: Farmed and Foraged Herbal Remedies and Recipes is a helpful cornucopia of herbal information and recipes for building health and tending to minor ailments out on the homestead, in your cozy  apartment, on the road, and everywhere else.

When you order the book here, there's a place where you can indicate who you want the book autographed for!

It's special, useful, and a great addition to any herbal bookworm's bookshelf.


Handmade Appalachian
Wildcrafted Products

Stock up on The WANDER School's wildcrafted Elderberry Sumac Rose Elixir to build your cold and flu armor all winter long, and definitely don't miss out on the Wild Oregano Salt that adds a touch of wild to any savory dish. 

For any tense moments of obligatory gatherings this season the Harmony Tincture is a must-have. For every meal, and especially the heavy holiday meals, Bitter is Better is the non-alcoholic bitters formula that helps digestion when you take a squirt before digging in. 

Kiss chapped lips goodbye! Get a Pucker Up Lip Balm for you, whomever you'll be kissing, and all your friends.

Admission to the Sassafras School
​Class of 2020

Picture
If you are a super-generous plan-ahead kind of gift-giver..

...and you know (or you ARE) someone that wants to learn in person the art of Appalachian plantcraft, folk herbalism and wild foraging...

You're in luck because  enrollment is now open for The Sassafras School of Appalachian Plantcraft 2020, a collaboration of Abby Artemisia and Becky Beyer for students to learn the folk ways .
This 98-hour program is one weekend a month (May to November) from 10 AM to 5 PM at the Hawk and Hawthorne, 20 minutes outside of Asheville, North Carolina.

Two women foragers, medicine makers and craftswomen, have come together to offer a folk understanding of herbalism and foraging. They see the folkway as the way in which working with plants for food and medicine every day can become a natural ritual of life. It can become a lifeway. The curriculum is extensive. 

Admission to the Sassafras School Class of 2020 is $1280 before 1/1/2020 and $1480 after.
