<p>I began writing the Herbal Homestead Journal in the spring of 2012 as a monthly companion publication to a fresh herb CSA at Atlas Farm in Deerfield, Massachusetts. The idea was that members of the CSA share and community, near and far, could subscribe to this newsletter and get month- ly wisdom, reminders, and teachings that would help them to live with the seasons, practice herbal medicine at home, and gain inspiration and empowerment for self care.These days, the practice of home healthcare is a form of activism. It requires us to work outside of the conventional systems and offerings of our culture and allows us to take ownership over our own well-being. Because of the personal and individual nature of these actions, I see them as the roots and foundation of activ- ism. Practicing herbal medicine and other forms of folk medicine at home is one of the most empowering choices one can make; it puts our belief that we can heal into our own hands ¿ helping us to feel in control, capable and...healthy!</p>
