Markets & Events 2026

I attend selected local events selling herbal teas (single herbs and blends) and medicinal herb plants, primarily in the spring. The teas are blended to support the seasons and cycles of life and, where possible, I grow the herbs.

To keep the number of “food/medicine miles” to an absolute minimum I am working towards making the teas 100% grown and blended in Cumbria and I try to travel to events within an approximate 50 mile radius of Kendal, Cumbria, UK.
