Essential Herbs with Patricia Howell
Lazy B Farm is thrilled to have Patricia Kyritsi Howell back as a guest speaker. She’s a fabulous teacher and you’ll certainly finish the weekend with a whole lot of knowledge!
This weekend introduces some of the most important herbs for every day family health care. We’ll start by learning about herbal actions (the terms used to describe the way herbs work in the body) and the difference between acute and chronic health problems. Using this framework, we’ll discuss more than twenty herbs that can be used in a wide variety of situations. You’ll get lots of practical information about how to create an herbal treatment using teas, tinctures, syrups, baths and more.
By the end of the weekend you will know how to safely and efficiently use herbs to treat infections, digestive upsets, pain, cramps and spasms, headaches, wounds, anxiety, insomnia, colds, flu and much more.
Note: If you have no previous experience using herbs, we recommend that you do some reading prior to the seminar in order to understand basic terms. We suggest reading Chapter’s 1 & 2 in Rosemary Gladstar’s Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide by Rosemary Gladstar ($10.00 on Amazon.)

Cost: $150 for the weekend. Saturday only, $90 (if space is available).
Time: noon to 6p for both days – 12 hours of instruction!

Chicken Butchering Workshop
“Well, I remember my granny would go out to the chicken house, grab a chicken and wring its neck…” “I remember those chickens running around without their heads on!”
This was the type of feedback I would receive when I began to inquire about the best way to butcher a chicken. After many different attempts, we have finally found the most humane, least messy way to butcher a chicken.
This workshop is most definitely hands-on. If you’re a chicken owner, this class would be very helpful when you have too many roosters or a bunch of old hens who are no longer productive. This workshop begins with how to catch a chicken or rooster all the way to placing the bird in the roaster for the oven. I do skin my birds meaning, I don’t pluck feathers!
“Give a man or woman a chicken roaster for the oven and he will eat for a day or two; teach a man or women to butcher and he will eat for the rest of his days!”
