We recently learned how to make a medicinal comfrey salve that is useful for sprains,bruises, burns, and rashes. Everyone went home with a tin of salve and the knowledge to make their own. One of our members brought in some comfrey roots to share so people could grow their own.
We also learned about milling fresh wheat berries and making bread. There was even a beautiful loaf shared. Nom! While the bread itself was delicious, our member shared that he was not able to consume bread because it made him sick. Could it be that it's because store bought bread is "enriched and processed?" Or that glyphosate is sprayed on most wheat products? Or that the store bought bread is void of nutrients? Whatever the real reason/s, freshly milled, homemade bread has been a game changer for him.

Things that we've chatted extensively about include:

Local sources for raw milk, what we're happy to see happening in the MAHA movement, clean meat sources and concern over future use of mRNA vaccines in poultry and livestock.
There are many gardeners in our group and lots of chat about spring plantings and sharing of seedling starts.
Lots of interest in herbal medicine; growing herbs and sourcing from other companies.
Water storage, treatment and use.
