Wisdom from the Farm: Herbal Healing with a New Hampshire Herbalist

We’re on location at The Olde Ways at Mustard Seed Farm in Tuftonboro, NH with herbalist and farmer Dina Farrell for a grounded, practical conversation about herbal medicine, local living, and plant‑based wellness. Dina walks us through her farm shop and shares her favorite herbal tea blends for sleep, anxiety, digestion, and focus, plus why inflammation shows up so often in her customers’ lives. We explore her turmeric chai, multi‑herb “super blend,” body oils, salves, witch hazel toners, and how she sources organic LCO2‑extracted CBD from a trusted Maine farm. We also talk about the community side of her work — local artisans, workshops, and the family stories that inspired her herbal path — before heading outside to meet chamomile, anise hyssop, catnip, angelica, and witch hazel in the gardens. If you love herbalism, natural remedies, farm‑to‑cup tea, or New Hampshire travel, this episode is for you.
