Autumn root harvest 2026

The farm
Our ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is direct-seeded in May and dug by hand in October, after the first frost concentrates the withanolides in the root. We grow 31 of the 40 botanicals we use; the rest come from four named partner farms we have bought from for a decade.

In Hearthside Herbal Tea BoxSustainability
We have not tilled a field since 2019. Cover crops, compost from our own herb mash and rotational sheep grazing have taken soil organic matter from 2.8% to 5.1%, which the Cornell Soil Health Lab tests for us every spring. Amber glass comes back through our refill program at $0 shipping, and we publish a third-party verified carbon inventory - 312 tonnes CO2e last year, offset and, more to the point, falling.
Evening & bath
Slow, unhurried things for the end of the day - soaking salts, night tea and balms meant to be used with both hands. Built around the hour when you finally stop.
Ashwagandha, reishi & tulsi
One teaspoon in warm milk, tea or coffee, once daily. Not evaluated by the FDA.
Six blends, forty-eight sachets
Steep one sachet in 8oz water just off the boil for 5-7 minutes.
Calendula in cold-pressed sunflower
Two to four pumps onto damp skin after bathing; refill bottles accepted.
Cold-process, cured twelve weeks
Body and hands. Keep on a draining dish between uses to extend the bar.
“I have taken a lot of adaptogen powders and this is the first one where I could actually look up the farm, the harvest date and the lab report. The tea is genuinely good on its own terms, too.”
“The body oil replaced three things on my shelf. My skin likes it, the glass goes back to them, and nobody in this house is allergic to anything in it.”
The Almanac
One letter a month from the field: what is going in the ground, what is coming out of it, and one plant explained properly. No countdown timers.
