Is your CBD oil pale and almost tasteless? You don’t want that! Clear or pale CBD oil has been heavily processed to remove most of the beneficial compounds in the hemp flower. The hemp plant contains a multitude of biologically active compounds, most of which interact with the human body. CBD is just one of hundreds of cannabinoids, plus the hemp flower contains many other beneficial ingredients, such as terpenes, flavonoids, fatty aids, and chlorophyll. A high quality, full spectrum CBD oil retains most of these beneficial compounds.

CBD isolate, which is the CBD molecule alone without any other compounds, is colorless. If your CBD oil is clear or pale, that’s a good indication that its made with CBD isolate and includes none of the other hemp compounds.

The paler a CBD oil is, the more intensively it has been processed. A good full-spectrum oil will be dark in color, because it’s rich in active ingredients. Also, real plant medicine is never tasteless! CBD oil can vary in flavor (some extraction methods result in very bitter oils), but all high quality CBD oils will have a grassy, earthy, or hempy taste.

If you’d like more information about how to source high quality CBD, I have a CBD buying guide you can download for free! Grab yours here: https://primalbotanical.com/cbd-buying-guide

Look how beautiful and diverse they are 😍🤩

I think I'll be looking for some differnt colorful corn to try growing this upcoming year, hopefully theres plenty of pretty fresh eating corn type. I wouldn't say no to other kinds, though.

Like seriously, imagine rolling up to the family BBQ with speckled corn or pink corn or that little watermelon colored one there 🤩🤩🤩

Corn

Nothing overly specific to post today aside from some rambles and a few pics of going on.

Rendered lard (5 total pints this week) and cut up the weeks worth of beef for the family

Also got into researching local beef farmers as that is next on our attempt to divest from what we want to see changed on the food system, it is definatly a rabbit hole of everything with that.

So far, for those curious where to start looking for places and people, so you can to remove yourself from big ag and cafo feed systems check out

🌱Craigslist and similar (Facebook too.) Be aware, you may need to know. Learn or be willing to help with or do the process of butcher, clean and process

🌱search engine, small grocers and local butcher shops.

🌱feed stores and occasionally pet/reptile stores. Feed stores will have a lot more localised or regional/state. Reptile stores has oddly been where I've made some egg sale/trade connections (I like to get crickets, worms and other insect goodies for my hens there)

🌱small scale fabric and sewing notion stores. Aside from finding sewers and other small crafter I've seen pig share flyers on a few boards.

🌱some cultural centers hold workshops or farmers markets.

I've not found a specific spot or place yet, but for now I'm looking to figure out what options would be best for us.

Not too much going on with the garden right now. Still been a bit to hot out to do much except maintain what I can (which as you can see, I'm not doing too well atm lol.)

I did some trimming of dead things this week, as well as a lot of grass pulling in the mint area. In the next month or so, there's intending to get some material to start planning extensions this coming winter/spring. As well as some stuff to be done in the back bit.

I did get around to 2 soap batches. This recipe is an almost castile style soap, which means it will take awhile to fully harden and cure.

This one's got ground oats and coffee grounds mixe din for an exfoliating, soothing bar.

We've got hummingbird friends regularly now, This makes 3 new species noticed in the last year.

The gila wood pecker, the peach cheeked lovebirds and now more than 1 hummingbird (this is the 3rd).

We've also had a hawk, bats, red breasted and gold breasted finches, collared doves to name a few regular visitors.

Don't worry, there is plans to add a birdbath or two as well as a few other sugar feeders for the hummers (though if the flower patch and herb expansion area works as we hope, that may not be necessary as it'll be a free flowering patch)

And I've been able to get into the office space and do some repairs on clothes and work on some jackets for the fall/winter. Thought I ahd zippers squirreled away that'd work, I do not. So for now it's a pause 😬

Well, that's it for me today, I've got some lawncare to do, and procrastinating won't get it done faster, lol

🌱✨️Happy homesteading and sustainable journeys✨️🌱
