Granny Janny’s CSH (Community Shared Herbalism) Many of us understand the value of eating locally. We support our local farmers, strengthen the local economy, build relationships in our community and reap many health benefits by eating fresh, local foods. Newer to public awareness is improving personal wellness through herbs, particularly local herbs. Many supplements on store shelves contain herbs grown overseas with chemicals, are heavily processed then shipped long distances providing us with lower quality products and a larger impact on our environment. Luckily we have an abundance of sustainable, local herbs right here in Michigan that can meet many of those same needs! Much like the more well known CSA (Community Shared Agriculture), we are now offering a CSH (Community Shared Herbalism)! Not only do you get a share of the herbs themselves, prepared locally in small batches with care and intention, but you receive a share of the experience and education your local herbalists can provide. Each CSH share will include a family educational consultation with Janice Marsh-Prelesnik and Christy Beaudrie. We will review your specific needs and provide you with a wellness plan, recommendations for share choices, and information relevant to your situation. You select the herbal products for your share from the list below. At the beginning of each season we will hold a class, covering common issues for that season and how you can use your herbal remedies.
