My name is Gabriele and I was born in Vienna Austria and immigrated to Canada in 1965. While in Vienna, I spent my days at my grandmothers' Apothecary (while my Mom was still in University) , and watched her make tinctures and medicines from the many plants and herbs she had in large glass jars. She taught me early on, that food was our medicine and that the earth provides everything we need to heal any ailment that might infect us! I have since spent my life researching the best healing plants and herbs and how to improve longevity for a healthy old age life.

 

Mushrooms were always a big part of my life in Europe as foraging was a weekly event. We picked what we knew, predominantly chanterelles and bolettes but after moving to Canada, much less of that fine activity was realized. My Great grandma always told my Mom that you must eat mushrooms because they make you smart so of course my Mom repeated the same mantra and my love for mushrooms only grew as I learned of the multitude of medicinal benefits aside from being smart!

 

Growing the fresh lions mane has become a passion project and I literally check on them at least 5 times a day just to see how much they've grown! 

 

All of our extracts are certified organic, dual extracted and tested so you can feel good knowing you're getting the best product possible.

 

I hope you enjoy some foraging yourself and please come back often as we'll be posting new science and interesting stories as they come along.
