Dandelion is a mighty little plant, commonplace but miraculous. It can flourish where nothing should grow - between cracks in the sidewalk, along polluted highways, and throughout yards and prairies where it is continuously mowed over. A weed, some say. But it’s precisely that cheery resilience that I admire.

Did you know the entire plant, from the root to the flower, is edible and medicinal? It is among the first food sources for pollinators and humans alike in the spring. Even its seeds offer a magical, whimsical joy. Dandelion does nothing but grow and give and persevere. A wildflower, not a weed. A gift — sunshine rising from the earth.

Roasted Dandelion Root was Amy’s first herb. A desperate attempt to ease the symptoms of a chronic condition opened the door to a new world - not just natural medicine, but deep medicine. Soul medicine. Social medicine. Injustice and politics and rewritten history. Unwritten history. Ancestry. Spirituality. And, of course, connection and collaboration. Now, Dandelion has become a lifestyle.
