Yurt Life












We've moved to a magical place called Oz- no, I have not been bonked on the head and transported via a twister. Oz Farm y'all! Of the Mendocino coast! My partner Jesse is the farm manager in training of a beautiful organic farm with an espalier apple orchard. We live snug as bugs in a couple solar powered yurts tucked under the redwoods. It's been amazing to make potions in the light flooded yurt, warmed by the wood stove. Jesse is a wood crafter extraordinaire and built sturdy shelving for our many jarred things.



There is much to do on the house and surrounding garden, not to mention the farm- but we are  dedicated to the project. I'm hoping to host a many workshops on herbalism, herbal body care and natural dyes starting in spring.  I'll be back in Oakland from time to time as Fat and the Moon is still going strong in the bay with the help of my bud, Rebecca (check her out at the Mission Community Market in SF). I'll be doing some workshops, so stay tuned for dates.
