We will be looking into both scenarios. Need to start somewhere. Let me know how to reach you other than the blog and maybe a visit to your farm is in order. Thanks again for the reply, talk with you soon. Thom Jen,

Are you thinking of growing medicinal herbs and food crops for you and your family or are you considering this for income or both? Jen Hi Thom,

I’m glad to hear of your plans. Are you thinking of growing medicinal herbs and food crops for you and your family or are you considering this for income or both?

Since the oil is very gentle and would be used externally, I have no information to indicate contraindication during pregnancy. - Jen According to the Botanical Safety Handbook, violets are a class 1 herb which “can be safely consumed when used appropriately.”

I have access to some property on the north end of Corrales and would like to set up a program to grow medicinal herbs and other good vegetables and fruits. Our neighbor next door has an apple/pear orchard that needs some assistance in maintaining, so I'm looking for more information and would like to meet you and see what you have been doing if possible. I'll look forward to hearing from you. Thom Jen,

I went to gallup yesterday and when I asked at a deli butcher counter they asked "granite?" LOL I finally found some junket at albertson's! our walmarts do not carry it. I am pretty set on making the feta and chevre these days, though made some cheddar the other day. Have you ever tried making rennet from the thistles? Have thought about it but not yet tried it.

When I lived in NY, I was able to buy vegetarian liquid rennet at our local coop -if you have a store like that you could ask them to stock it. If your regular grocery doesn't carry it, try the grocery section of Walmart -it's worth a shot if you don't have any other local stores. Another option is to make a rennet-less cheese with an acid -either lemon juice or vinegar or buttermilk. Good luck! Jen Hi Julie,
