Resina Calendula

Rich, aromatic, and delightfully sticky. At Soul Fire Farm, we use the calendula to make salve, often with young people, as part of learning to care for ourselves outside of the food/medical industrial complex. Resina is the most potent of calendulas with the highest concentration of plant resins, and is best for making herbal medicines. All healing, all revolution - is based on land.

Soul Fire Farm remits 100% of their proceeds from the sales of their seeds to the Stockbridge Munsee Band of the Mohican Nation.
