I started Sacred Blossom to farm for health. My Health, Your Health and the Health of the Planet. In spring 2022 I hired my first full time help, Joe and I also get help from a wonderful world of mentors and neighbors, sporadic volunteers, my landlords and friends. My favorite role is growing the herbs that go into Sacred Blossom teas but you’ll find me doing everything from package design to packaging teas. Sending emails to sorting seeds.
Born in California, I went to highschool in Costa Rica then business school in Argentina. I dropped out to start a horse tour company and run a beachfront restaurant in Uruguay. Then I became a barefooted global nomad, of course.
At 22 I met Farmer Paul, a then 70 year old, life long student of health; soil, plant, animal and spiritual. He taught me so much and had a tremendous impact on my path. I learned under Paul for six growing seasons (nomading during Minnesota’s long winters) then went on a two year long farm tour, culminating in working on an industrial-scale herb farm.
I started Sacred Blossom in spring 2016 on rented land at Crazy Rooster Farm. I was blessed to find this beautiful farm in a community with many small-scale organic farms.
We are growing herbs on about 20 acres and our herbal teas can be found in most every grocery coop and WholeFoods location in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Sacred Blossom Farm / Crazy Rooster Farm and Amish Telephone Booth is located in the beautiful driftless region of western Wisconsin near the town of Gilmanton. Due to chronic understaffing, we are only open to the public during our annual open house. Sign up for our mailing list to find out when.
