New CBD Products for 2021
New CBD Products for 2021
Our CBD salve is made with our farm grown CBD hemp buds, infused in a base of organic coconut oil and organic sunflower lecithin. We add organic beeswax to the salves to keep them solid when temperatures rise in the summer. We began selling plain cbd salve in 2020, but for 2021 we have four different salves: plain, with essential oils, with arnica, and with St. John's wort. We use our wild harvested St. John's wort, farm grown arnica, and high quality essential oils, including peppermint, lemon, tea tree, and lavender oils when making the salve.

New Growing Season Is Almost Here

We are getting ready to start new seedlings. This year we plan on expanding production of lavender that we will be drying and using as one of the ingredients in the Special Tea. This tea is one of our best selling teas and helps people to fall asleep more easily and to get back to sleep if they awake in the middle of the night. We have also been expanding production of blackberries and raspberries as these flavors are so popular in our jams. We will also be boiling our maple sap soon to make this season's maple syrup. We have been using mostly maple syrup for sweetener over the past year as we can market our product as completely grown in Vermont. This is a change from our use of predominantly agave syrup. Looking forward to the coming growing season! |

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is in the Solanaceae family and the plant originated in India. It is also called Winter Cherry. Ashwagandha is called an adaptogenic herb. This is because the root is used to make a tea or powder that improves physical energy, increases immunity, and increases the vitality of those recovering from a chronic illness. It has also been used in pain management for rheumatoid arthritis. The root has positive effects on the endocrine, cardio, and central nervous systems. It is used to restore libido in males and it increases male fertility. Preliminary studies show that it helps to reduce the negative effects of stress, to slow tumor growth, to reduce cholesterol, and to reduce anxiety and help with sleep. It is also said to be good for fibromyalgia when mixed with Kava and Scullcap. Ashwagandha is also said to boost GABA and serotonin to help reduce anxiety. How to make Ashwagandha Tea: Measure 3-6 grams of dried root. Bring 3 1/2 cups of water to a boil and then immerse the dried root in the boiling water. Boil for 15 minutes and then strain the root and drink. Drink 3 cups of Ashwagandha tea daily for best results. (Information obtained from www.ehow.com and www.herbwisdom.com) |

Introducing a New Tea Here at Lightfoot Farm: Time for Pause Tea Time for Pause Tea is good for women in their menopausal years. It contains red clover flowers, nettle leaf, comfrey leaf, milky oats, and stevia. Red clover is rich in isoflavones, chemicals that act like estrogens. It may help with hot flashes, cardiovascular health and osteoporosis. Studies so far are inconclusive. Red clover contains low levels of coumarins ,which thin the blood. This tea should not be used by individuals on the prescription medicine Warfarin (Coumadin). Nettles (Urtica dioica) have been known to help rehydrate vaginal tissues. They contain vitamins, minerals, proteins, and micronutrients that are nourishing for many functions in the body. They also are good to maintain healthy bones. Comfrey leaves are safe, according to herbalist Susan Weed (roots can cause liver damage). Comfrey is known to be good for vaginal lubrication, to strengthen bones, to soothe joint pain, and to improve mental functioning. |
