Welcome to the Grow, Create, Sip Podcast. This is a simple sit-down chat about living with herbs in everyday life, from the garden and kitchen to the rhythms of the home. Each episode is guided by your questions as we talk through practical herbal homemaking, consistency over perfection, and how we actually use herbs day to day. You can also watch the video version on YouTube. Send your questions to howdy@farmhouseteas.com
In this episode, we sit down for a relaxed chat, the same way we would if you stopped by the farmhouse for a cup of tea. We talk through our word for the year, courage, and what that looks like in real life rather than in perfectly planned goals. We share what’s ahead for the new year at Farmhouse Teas, what we’re thinking about for the garden, and how consistency over perfection guides the way we use herbs in everyday homemaking. This conversation is not technical or instructional, but a steady look at how we live with herbs, season by season.
