Midwinter Update

Celebrating a Successful Year with Meadowlark Apothecary

Greetings and welcome to Meadowlark Apothecary's midwinter update! It's been a remarkable year for us, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us in 2022. Your positive feedback has been truly phenomenal, and it inspires us to continue working hard and expand our sweetgrass farm in 2023. With an average rating of 5 stars from over 500 reviews on ETSY, we're proud to say that we're delivering high-quality sweetgrass to the people.

Lessons Learned: Refining the Art of Growing Sweetgrass

Last year marked the beginning of our official journey as a sweetgrass farm, and it was a year of valuable lessons learned. From establishing the farm to working around the ongoing drought in Northeast Montana, propagating, harvesting, braiding, and everything in between, the process was both challenging and educational. However, we took these lessons and will use them to further enhance our operations and deliver an even better product to you.

Get Ready for a Fresh Harvest: Sweetgrass Comes to Life in 2023

As the sun rises brighter and the snow begins to thaw, we're eager to build upon our experiences from last season and refine the art of growing sweetgrass. Our sweetgrass is always grown organically, and we're exploring innovative techniques such as compost tea to enhance soil life and yield a more fragrant and lush sweetgrass. The high demand for sweetgrass bundles last summer showcases the growing interest in our product, and with an increased supply this year, customers who wish to use the raw bulk grass for their own projects will have even greater access to our sweetgrass.

Join the Mailing List and Be the First to Know About Sweetgrass Harvest

Fresh sweetgrass is expected to be ready for harvest in Late June or Early July, bringing with it its irresistible and distinct aroma. To ensure you don't miss out on this highly anticipated time, sign up to our mailing list to be notified when the sweetgrass is at its freshest and ready for harvesting!

Discover the Magic of Sweetgrass Mist

In the meantime, it's an excellent opportunity to try our Sweetgrass Mist. We carefully extract the essential oils from the sweetgrass through steam distillation using a copper still, resulting in a hydrosol or floral water with a range of uses. Whether you're in a space where burning sweetgrass isn't feasible or you're looking for a skin-nourishing alternative, our Sweetgrass Mist is an excellent choice. Not only does it offer a light and natural fragrance, but customers have also reported its effectiveness as a mosquito repellent. Sweetgrass mist is available in a convenient pocket-sized option as well as full sized 2 oz & 4 oz fine mist bottles. As we continue to refine our processes in 2023, we aim to make the Sweetgrass Mist an even better product for our customers.

Expanding Our Range of Natural Incense Products

We're always looking to expand our offerings, and in 2022 we introduced a range of other popular natural incense products such as Palo Santo, Sage Smudges, Frankincense, and Myrrh. However, if you're looking for something specific that we don't currently carry, don't hesitate to reach out with your suggestions. Your feedback and ideas are always valued as we strive to improve and grow Meadowlark Apothecary.

Cheers to a great 2023!

We hope that you have a positive and fulfilling year and look forward to continuing our journey with you. Thank you for your support and for choosing Meadowlark Apothecary.
