This afternoon at Sugar Bones Farm a group of us got together to create healing skin salve to donate to the homeless community. This event was supported by the Ontario Herbalists Association, Shawna's Outreach, and spearheaded by OHA Board member Matthew Stapley. Everyone had a great time in a beautiful space and learned so much about healing local plants. This is the first of, hopefully, many more workshops at Sugar Bones Farm.
