The Hibernator: Winter Survival Kit
$44.00
We live and farm in Vermont, so we know a bit about staying healthy and happy during the winter months!
This targeted kit is designed to help you ward off common winter ailments, allowing you to keep your skin soft & supple, your insides warm, and your health thriving through those chilly months of hibernation. All packaged in a tuck cardboard to make this kit a perfect gift.
This kit includes:
Farmhouse Balm (2 oz tin): We love using this everyday herbal balm throughout the year. Wherever you use it, you’ll enjoy its nourishing qualities and the gentle relief it provides for everyday irriations, such as dry, chapped, or irritated hands, feet, or elbows. For best preservation, we recommend storing in a cabinet, or another cool place away from excess heat. We like using it right before bedtime, to really let that goodness seep in!
Heat Tea (3 oz tin): A spicy, warming, and invigorating tea blend. This blend is reminiscent of a ginger-based chai: it's spicy, sweet, and perfect for chilly nights or after a heavy holiday meal.
Immune Tincture (2 oz bottle): Try this remedy to support and nourish your immune system in times of stress and susceptability. A must-have for cold and flu season and also great to bring along on trips. Extended Instruction: 1-2 squirts of tincture 3-4 times per day—or more in acute situations. May be taken with up to 2 oz of water or juice to make it go down easier. To take as an alcohol free remedy, add 2 oz of freshly boiled water to a mug with a dose of tincture and let sit uncovered for 10 minutes to allow for the alcohol to evaporate.
1 reusable muslin tea filter for steeping your Heat Tea!

No matter what time of year you sign up, you'll be able to look forward to a yearlong engagement with healing herbs grown with joy.
Shares are delivered four times per year. You may sign up at any time! They make great gifts too!

OUR FARM
Unlike most companies selling herbal products, we grow our ingredients ourselves, which means when you enjoy our products, you're enjoying the unique herbal offerings of our farm in central Vermont.
Our small herb farm & apothecary farm is located in Chelsea, Vermont, nestled high in the hills that overlook the village. We specialize in Vermont-grown tisanes (herbal teas), culinary herbs, herbal remedies, and herbal body care products. Our herbs and remedies are available through pick-up at our farm, at local farmers markets, stores, online, and through our Community Supported Apothecary subscriptions. Read more about us. |
OUR SHOP
All of our products are handcrafted in small batches in our farmhouse apothecary. The majority of our herbal ingredients are sourced directly from our farm.
Take a peek at our online apothecary shop for the fullest selection of teas, culinaries, bulk herbs, and handcrafted herbal remedies & body care products. We also have a host of great gift ideas and unique accessories. We also offer Community Supported Apothecary subscriptions! Our herbs are harvested by hand and dried right on our farm. We dry herbs in traditional hanging bunches, as well as in our farm-made herb dryer, "The Herbster," taking the utmost care to preserve the essential constituents that give each herb its flavor and potency. |
OUR COMMUNITY
At Free Verse Farm, we consider the health & vitality of our community to be issues of great importance.
