It was late the Friday before Thanksgiving; the sun was setting, the milking crew heading out the door. We had planned to practice the offerings we’d be bringing on Thursday, but oh the rush of Friday. Supper hadn’t exactly been decided on yet, our usual kefir smoothies were low on ingredients, and, of course, everyone…
This recipes is for the northerners whose peas are just producing and whose rhubarb is finally winding up. That is, unless of course, those of you from the south are still finding rhubarb. I was given some rhubarb by a sweet friend of mine (hi Rene!) recently and a week later found it in my…
Now that tomatoes are rolling in I thought I’d share this recipe from last year. This is our absolute favorite ferment and some of the tastiest salsa we have ever had. A few of you have made a request for my recipe or method for making a fermented salsa. I’m excited to share this with…
I wonder if I will ever feel in-sync with the seasons here. In February I felt like it was May. In June I feel like it is August on steroids. My body is so out of whack with the temperatures and the foods being grown. I mean, really, who knew you could harvest zucchini in…
Who doesn’t love mayonnaise? I know I do, especially the Hellmann’s brand. Unfortunately the main ingredient in this mayonnaise is soy oil, or you can get the canola oil version which includes lots of modified corn starch and I’m not a fan of canola oil. There is also a safflower oil mayonnaise of a different…

Hi, I read your post on H2B@H. Do you know there are quite a lot of chocies of herbs you could take to build your milk supply up so you wouldn’t have to give the baby homemade formula?
Erin – Yep. I have taken every herb I could get my hands on, pumped around the clock, eaten every galactogogue in the book. I have a low thyroid that I am working on healing, which I suspect is the root cause of the milk supply issues. Thank you for your comment.
I read your guest post and wanted to comment about your milk supply issue. I nursed my 3 children from 12-18 months each and had supply problems with one of them. My doctor placed me on Reglan for a few weeks to help increase my supply. This medication is used for stomach problems or something not normally associated with lactation but it was successful in my friend and I.
He made several phone calls and read material about it before prescribing it but it works!
I also pumped on one side while the baby nursed on the opposite side every time or at least every other time to boost the demand.
Just a few tips that I thought you would like to hear to go back to all natural if possible.
