Links and Discounts

These are a few links that I feel may be a blessing to you.

Books that I recommend – This is a list of books that I like, there is a link to each book. There are books on raising goats naturally, and books on herbs, etc.


PictureThe School of Natural Healing – Are you interested in training as a Family Herbalist?  This is the school I earned my Master Herbalist certification through.


blendtec
Blendtec Designer Series Blender with Wildside Jar Package – RED
  
This is THE best blender that I have ever had the pleasure of using. This link takes you to the exact blender that I own – right down to the color I chose. If you have Amazon Prime, it ships for free and you will have it in TWO business days!  [Bunny trail…]  If you have never had a Prime account with Amazon, you can sign up for a month long free trial!  I have to warn you though, I did that free trial and I was HOOKED! 😉 Anyhow, back to the Blendtec:  I use it to finely blend fresh herbs into olive oil to use for my salves.  I also use it to powder herbs that I harvested and dried – fresh from our garden and wildcrafted from our property!  I like this blender MUCH MORE than the Vitamix, as you don’t have to fiddle around with the tamper (Vitamix comes with a tamper).  This blender has a wider base, so the tamper is not necessary.  It also has nifty buttons that you can press and it will automatically make a smoothie or ice cream or soup, etc with a preset timing feature.  🙂  I get credit from each sale I send their way, so please use the above link, if you don’t mind!  Thanks, I appreciate it!! 🙂


YoLife yogurt maker

Yolife Yogurt Maker (YL-210).   I have this yogurt maker, it is the best one I have ever used. I also use it to make herbal infused oils!


Omega Juicer. I bought this juicer a few years ago and I love how easy it is to use AND clean. It can be used for wheatgrass juicing as well! It is a low speed, masticating juicer and nutrition system.


Herb Sources:

Land of Havilah Farm

Land of Havilah Herbals. I wanted to provide one place that offered a large selection of single herbs, Dr. Christopher mixes, empty capsules, encapsulators, tinctures, salves, etc. at good prices, and I wanted to know that the herbs are efficacious and FRESH, SO I started Land of Havilah Herbals.  My shipper sends your order directly from their warehouse to ensure that you are getting the freshest herbs I can provide.  My Parasite Formula ships directly from me, and I ship Monday – Saturday.  If you buy anything else with the Parasite Formula, then my shipper sends it Monday-Friday, unless you request otherwise.  All other products ship Monday – Friday.  Expect a 3-7 day delivery time once the order has been placed.  We ship via USPS or UPS, at our discretion. If you need your order right away, I can check on the possibility of Expedited Shipping and let you know the time frame and the shipping cost.  All my products are available at my Online Store.


Essential Oil Sources:

As a formally trained Aromatherapist, I am very picky about the essential oils I use.  I offer these high quality 100% pure therapeutic oils to you through a completely separate website.  Click here for more information.  There is a Wholesale program available and I have information about that at that link as well.  As always, any products purchased through me come with my free guidance as a Certified Master Herbalist and a formally trained Aromatherapist.  Please contact me for assistance if you desire.


Feed Sources:

chaffhaye-logo-pasture-in-a-bag

Chaffhaye.  My Chaffhaye dealer is Rachel from Firebug Farms in Bridgewater, Michigan, and she has this Facebook group where you can find more information and pricing.  Not close to you?  Check with her about possible delivery, or use this feature on the Chaffhaye website to find a dealer near you.

logo_thorvin2

Thorvin Kelp.  In my opinion, Thorvin Kelp is the highest quality kelp on the market.  To find your nearest retailer, contact Thorvin. Maybe you’ll be blessed with someone carrying it locally! If not, I buy locally through Midwestern BioAg and you can contact them to see if they have a local source for you.  I believe they will ship if you are interested in more information contact Midwestern BioAg 989-874-6009.

Local Harvest logo

Local Harvest – This is a great site to find local food sources!  It would be worth searching their website to see if you can find access to locally raised non-gmo and organically raised hay and grain.


Blood Testing Information:

I strongly recommend testing your herd for CAE, CL, Johnes and Brucella if you are going to drink raw milk. Raw goat’s milk is the best for you, but it MUST come from healthy animals.  CAE is a species specific disease (only spread to other goats), but CL, Johnes, and Brucella cross the species barrier – they ARE transmittable to humans.  It is my understanding that Johne’s is NOT killed using normal pasteurization, and many cow herds are infected with this disease.  It is also my understanding that Johne’s may be linked to Crohn’s Disease in humans.  I recommend testing all new goats BEFORE they enter your herd.  It will save you a lot of heartache and grief keeping these diseases OUT of your herd.  See the Natural Raising section of my website for more information on Blood Testing.

BioTracking – This lab offers testing for CAE ($4.00) and Pregnancy testing ($6.50) services using the same blood sample. They use the ELISA test, the same type that WADDL uses. They are wonderful to deal with, plus they give you the percentage of inhibition on each animal.

The Johne’s Center – This is the lab I use to test for Johne’s Disease.


Informational Websites:

Cornell University – Poisonous Plants Informational Database. This is a reference that includes plant images, pictures of affected animals and presentations concerning the botany, chemistry, toxicology, diagnosis and prevention of poisoning of animals by plants and other natural flora (fungi, etc.). The information presented here is NOT a complete database of all plants that are poisonous, but attempts to cover many of the plants that grow in the U.S. that may be poisonous to livestock. While some information is presented about plants poisonous to pets and humans, this is not intended to be a comprehensive resource.  Kristie’s note as a Certified Master Herbalist:  DO keep in mind that some plants listed are not poisonous, the plant simply contains a constituent that the people at this website feel the need to list it as a possible problem.  For instance, Lobelia (Lobelia inflata) is a very valuable medicinal herb, it does have an emetic effect (makes you vomit) if a lot is taken.  That is not a bad thing, that is a cleansing/purging action.  It makes this herb very safe when taken orally (in mouth) because if your body gets too much, it simply vomits out the excess plus an added bonus of clearing the toxins out at the same time.  

Land of Havilah Learning Center: This is our educational membership site! Learn about using herbs and essential oils for yourself, your family, and your animals! I teach you how to SAFELY and EFFECTIVELY implement essential oils for both humans and animals! We also have classes by Dr. Janet Roark, the Essential Oil Vet!!
