PRODUCTS

ALL products are the result of local and sustainable harvest practice by me. 


I harvest, with gratitude, from the wood lands and prairie lands of the Minnesota River Valley.

And, my own backyard. 


For this reason all products are seasonal and limited in quantity.

Fresh and re-stocked with each season and available while supplies last.

"Nicole's workshops are both fun and engaging. They are very creative, thoughtfully done and unique. My wife and I and our son had a blast."

Erik C.

"I’ve been using Nicole’s Healing Salve for a couple of years now, and it has become an essential part of my skincare routine. This salve is a true multi-tasker: it works wonders on dry skin, soothes sunburn, and helps heal skin rashes quickly and effectively.


What sets this product apart is its blend of all-natural ingredients. You can feel the difference—it absorbs beautifully into the skin, leaving it feeling nourished and soft. Whether it’s the middle of winter or peak summer, this salve adapts to your needs, providing long-lasting hydration and comfort.


For anyone seeking a natural remedy that delivers on its promises, Nicole’s salve is a must-try. It’s become my go-to solution for skin healing and hydration, and I love knowing I’m using a product that’s as kind to the earth as it is to my skin. Highly recommended!"


Tammy I.

"The first workshop I attended with Nicole was an edible 'urban' forage through the streets of Granite Falls. She was very knowledgeable and the fruits of our labor were delicious. I recently attended another workshop where I learned the medicinal and edible properties of sumac and how to preserve and prepare it hands-on. My tongue exploded with fresh sumac. I will harvest my own next fall. A small teaspoon in my afternoon tea delights the senses. Thanks Nicole ... I'll be seeing you again."

Deb P.

"Nicole and I have worked together on numerous event together over the years, ranging from locally harvested food pairings at our local pub, to educational workshops, to outdoor forages with people of all ages! Nicole has such a deep love, curiosity, excitement and care for the natural world that sharing it with others comes so naturally and her ways of connecting with people has them always wanting to learn more about the world around them."

Luwaina A.

"I had this mysterious section of bites on my stomach. No cream prescribed by a doctor could seem to clear it up. After about a month and a half of trying the prescribed applications, nothing worked. 


I remembered i had a jar of Nicole's cottonwood healing salve and decided to try that and it cleared it up in a matter of days!!


I also used the salve on my dog Ruby after she had her puppy surgery. She had some skin stuff going on around the incision area so I put it on her and it cleared her belly up in 2 days! 


This salve works!"
