Painting With Sunflower Pollen! Our Sunflowers This Summer Have Brought So Much Positive Energy Our Way. Even On The Smokiest Of Days During The Wildfire Season They Shine Bright And Strong. Today Was Another Super Smokey Day So The Little One And I Decided To Do Some Indoor Art. We Collected Pollen From The Sunflowers By Gently Rubbing The Pollen Into A Small Bowl. We Added A Pinch Of Water - Enough To Make A Paste And Voila A Brilliant Sunshine Yellow Paint. So Many Cool Ways To Enjoy Flowers! Have U Made Paint With Flowers? If So Please Share! #Sunflower #Sunflowers #Pollen #Naturalpaint #Laughinglichen #Offgrid #Coolart #Flowerart #Natureplay #Sunshineyellow

Laughing Lichens online store is once again open!

Laughing Lichens Online Store Is Once Again Open! Please Note That It May Take A Week Or So To Get Orders Shipped As Canada Post Is Not Yet Operating. I Want To Send To A Huge Shoutout Out To All Of The Amazing Volunteers That Helped To Keep Us Safe From The Wildfires This Past Month - And For Those Those That Continue To Do So! The Overhead Drone Of Choppers And Water Bombers Reminds Us Daily Of How Busy The Firefighters Still Are - Doing Their Best To Keep Us Safe From The Nearby Fires. We Know The Fires Are Not Yet Out And That Many Folks Are Still Unable To Return Home. It Has Been An Incredibly Hard Time For Everyone But Through This We Have Seen So Much Resiliency And Kindness All Around. In This Post Is A Short Video Of Some Of Our Experiences This Past Month. The Laughing Lichen Team Cleared Mountains Of Brush And Trees Surrounding Our Farm And Set Up A Super Water Suppression System To Protect If The Fire Made It Here( Luckily We Did Not Have To Experience This). During The Evacuation Of The City Of Yellowknife Watered And Cared For Countless Gardens, Rescued 13 Dogs, Helped Care For Pets Left Behind During The Evacuation, Provided Nourishing Food From Our Farm To Feed Firefighters And Essential Workers, And Had The Opportunity To Volunteer With An Amazing Group Of People Helping To Prepare Meals For Essential Workers. It Was A Busy Yet Surreal Time That I Hope We Do Not Have To Repeat Anytime Soon. For Those Still Waiting Patiently To Get Home - Sending Positive Thoughts Your Way And Hope That We Can All Stay Safe And Return To Our Communities As Soon As Possible. Take Care Everyone - And Thank You To All Who Reached Out To Check On Us! #Caring #Laughinglichen #Wildfire #Northwestterritories #Yellowknife #Safejourneys #Thankyou #Staysafeeveryone #Supportlocal #Nwtstrong #Forestfireevacuation #Kindnessrocks

WHY CHOOSE WILD FORAGED INGREDIENTS

Wild = Pesticide Free

In a CBC marketplace investigation of the major tea brands (link here) they found that half of the teas tested contained pesticide residues above the allowable limits in Canada. … Some of the pesticides found — including endosulfan and monocrotophos — are in the process of being banned from use in some countries because of dangers to the environment and to workers

Earth's topsoil is in critical danger. Consuming wild plants will not add to this problem

An excerpt from BBC’s article , Why the soil is disappearing from farms, by Richard Gray. “The same picture is seen on farms worldwide. Soils are becoming severely degraded due to a combination of intensive farming practices and natural processes. As the layer of fertile topsoil thins, it gets increasingly difficult to grow crops for food. Without altering agricultural practices and urgently finding ways to preserve soil, the global food supply starts to look precarious.”
