Join us for an enlightening workshop with Karla Parker, known as “The Artful Herbalist,” as she shares the benefits of fresh, locally grown market box food, wellness, and body care products.

Unlocking the Healing Power of Nature with Your Market Box

Karla will guide you through natural remedies and wellness practices, including herbal teas, fermented foods, raw milk and clean animal proteins.

Holistic and Natural Living: Nutrient-Rich Food in Your Market Box

Preventive medicine is avoiding things that can cause your body harm and that includes what you put on your skin. How many ingredients do you apply to your skin each day? Are your cleaning products non-toxic?

Karla will compare conventional vs. market box products to help you make informed choices for a clean body and non-toxic home. She’ll discuss the importance of sourcing foods, like milk and meat,  and wellness products locally and sustainably, and share tips for incorporating natural living practices into your daily life
