High Heat Means Hefty Harvest!
Indulge in Summer's Finest
|
|
The harvest doesn’t come to a halt because the temps rise, in fact the heat will only increase
the bounty of fresh tomatoes, peaches and sweet corn available this weekend. Dress in light colors, don your sun hat, grab your water bottle, and come support your local farmers. If you don't you'll have to endure an entire week without local food - and that would be really sad.

Herbs love the heat of summer. So this week we're talking about Teel's Hill's herbal soaps.

Cinnabar -is a reddish brown bar scented with cinnamon and cassia and sweetened with ylang ylang and sweet orange essential oil.
Scarborough Fair - yes Simon and Garfunkel inspired this this bar of soap. It contains parsley powder and sage, rosemary and thyme essential oils and is superfatted with hemp seed oil.
Wake Up is a real eye opener, bursting with rosemary and spearmint, and swirled with dried spearmint leaves.
The

And let's not forget Rosemary's Shampoo Bar, an herbal scented soap that gently cleans your hair and eliminates the waste created by plastic shampoo bottles. This soap works great for itchy or dry scalps and will soften your hair. Perfect for hikers and campers too!
