HAVEN HILL FARM & MOON GARDEN:
Exciting News! NEW SERIES OF WORKSHOPS!
Plant a Medicinal Garden
Moon Garden & Haven Hill Farm
Master Gardener Judy Leon and Herbalist Colleen Zorbas will show you how and why to grow a medicinal garden with four seasonal workshops. The workshops will be located at Judy’s beautiful, Haven Hill Farm in Washington County. Each class will run approximately three hours.
A medicinal herb garden is defined as a garden planted with the goal of serving the needs of your general health and well-being.
You can grow wellness in whatever space you have! Herbs are beautiful and very useful in your landscape. Most herbs are not difficult to grow, and many produce lovely flowers and/or interesting foliage. Many herbs are also pest resistant and are fantastic companion plants to your vegetables.
In these series of workshops we will be going over the type of herbs to grow, and the medicinal properties of these herbs. We will be identifying the different stages of growth and how to recognize the plants. Each workshop will feature a farm and plant walk, and a preparation of an Earth medicinal. We hope you can join us for all four workshops- each one will be unique and inspiring. Please visit www.moongardenherbals.com for more information and to reserve your spot.

ALSO FROM SARATOGA URBAN FARM
Saratoga Urban Farm: Natural Solutions offers the highest quality locally sourced, hemp derived CBD available. Our products are made with full-spectrum whole plant extracts containing all cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes to provide the synergistic “entourage effect”. Made with love in Saratoga Springs, our business model is rooted in a simple belief – our customers deserve the best and shouldn’t have to pay too much for it.

What is CBD?
CBD or Cannabidiol is a natural compound found in the marijuana or hemp plant. CBD sourced from industrial hemp plants with 0.3% THC or less is legal to buy and sell nationwide. Cannabidiol is only one of 80 plus cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, but unlike it’s more popular cousin, THC, it’s non-psychoactive. That means it doesn’t produce a “buzz” or “high” in humans or dogs. It does, however, have many potential medical benefits.
BENEFITS OF CBD OIL
• Relieves Pain• Balances Healthy Inflammation• Arthritis• Reduces Anxiety• Antipsychotic Effects (boosts mood)• Menstrual Pain• OCD, ADHD, PTSD• Autism• Alzheimer’s• Aids in Digestion• Fights Cancer• Relieves Nausea• May Treat Seizures & Neurological Disorders• Improves Blood Sugar

TOGANOLA:
Why TogaNola?
Offering a full line of granola products, we strive to provide hand
crafted, responsibly sourced snacks for adventurous souls!
Locally Sourced Ingredients
TogaNola is deeply committed to sourcing ingredients from small, local
producers and distributors with responsible business practices. This
means that consumers can rest assured that their purchase is a positive
choice for both the environment and the local community.
Sustainable Packaging
By promoting the practice of refilling reusable containers via our Reuse
Discount Program and integrating sustainable plant-based packaging
where reusable containers just aren’t practical, TogaNola commits to
sustainable business practices without compromise.
Naturally Sweetened
The consumption of refined sugars, even those labeled ‘organic’ or ‘all
natural’ can have negative effects on the body. For this reason, all
TogaNola products are made only with locally produced natural
sweeteners such as raw honey or maple syrup. Not too much, just enough!
Allergy & Diet Friendly
Dietary choices are a very personal matter; whether derived from
allergies, morals or in pursuit of better health. Therefore, all TogaNola
products are dairy, gluten, refined sugar and soy free. Nut-free and
vegan choices are also available.
Small Batch Baked
There’s a reason that mom’s casserole and grandma’s pie always tastes
better than store bought – food made with care and love will always be
superior to factory produced products. Every batch of TogaNola is
handmade and packaged by the owners with plenty of added love.
Clean Energy for Athletes
Research suggests that a mix of complex carbs (such as organic oats),
nut/ seed based proteins & natural sugars (such as unsweetened dried
fruits and local honey) are the optimal fuel for pre- or post- workout.
