How is the autumn weather shaping up where you are? While we have had a bit of lingering summer here in the Pacific Northwest, the nights are getting cooler and the mornings have a bit of a crisp nip in the air. As the season changes, cool fall mornings call for a spicy, warming tea. This tea recipe has the added benefit of being full of good-for-you herbs like Elderberries and Cinnamon!

Join us to celebrate the 27^th Anniversary of Organically Grown in Oregon Week, September 13 – 19!

Mountain Rose Herbs is committed to organic, sustainable agriculture and we’re not alone. We support the Oregon Organic Coalition (OOC) alongside other businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals passionate about growing the organic industry. The OOC works to inform, educate and advocate for policy change around organic legislature, the National Organic Action Plan, and other initiatives. They also know how to celebrate success and pay tribute to leaders in the industry at their annual luncheon.

We have never met an edible mushroom we didn’t like! While we truly adore freshly picked mushrooms like chanterelles sautéed in butter, wine, and garlic, there are so many wonderful ways to prepare dried mushrooms to enjoy year ‘round!

My grown kids like to tease me about my lack of bedside manner. Their version of childhood ailments is that I'd respond to everything with four basic questions and suggestions: 1. Have you been drinking enough water? 2. Have you been to the bathroom? 3. How about a nap? 4. How about a warm bath? Honestly, I still think those four strategies are perfect for most of life's ordinary wellness challenges!
