Locally sourced, produced, and raised is not only healthier to eat, it's safer! Just as hunters don't have recalls on the game they've harvested, local producers that offer smaller batches of produce, fruits, nuts, and meat don't have recalls. 🤒🤒🤢🤢🫩🫩😵‍💫😵‍💫😵😵

Our Mimi & Poppy's Place Community Homesteader Workshop will not only help be the catalyst to help you become your own producer, it will also help you find local producers that can help you supply your family locally grown and harvested table fare that is healthier and safer for your entire family. The pictures show the most recent USDA recalls of tens of millions of pounds of USDA Inspected food that were already in stores and sold to families. The first one being Hillshire Farms with a recall of 58 MILLION pounds 😲 of corn dogs and sausage.

🤠🤠 At our event, you'll be able to meet your local producers, ask questions, and be informed about the fruits 🍓🍉, vegetables 🥦🍎, meats 🥩🍗, and breads 🍞🥖 you're feeding your family.

Labels can be deceiving and what we think is local due to branding might not be. 🤔 Actually meeting your producers face to face is the best way to know exactly where and how your table fare was grown, raised, or made.

Here is a great chance to dabble in homeopathic and apothecary remedies. Not only is our event about learning how to become your own producer, but it's also a place to find producers for item you may not be able to make yourself. Cedar and Moon Apothecary is one of our Grassroots Pioneers that not only will be presenting but also have their products available to the public.

Good morning my sweet sunshines ☀️✨
I’ve been holding this in for days and I’m so excited I finally get to share it with you. Our Winter Solstice Gift Sets are officially live on the website! 🥳❄️🌙

Every single bundle was made with my whole heart, slow infused herbs I’ve been tending for months, cozy seasonal blends, and all the winter magic I could tuck inside. These feel extra special this year and they make such heartfelt gifts for loved ones or for treating yourself to a little nourishment and softness during the season.

If you’re an email subscriber, make sure to peek at your inbox 😘 because I sent out a thank you gift this morning in the form of a special discount code. Y’all mean so much to me and to this little apothecary. I’m really feeling the gratitude so heavy these days 🥹.

A small note, quantities are very limited this year so if a set is calling to you, don’t wait too long. Once they’re gone, they’re truly gone.
All gift sets will ship out by 12/15 for those who need delivery in time for Christmas. 🎁

🎄 Christmas Delivery Deadline
Please place your order by 12/15/25 to ensure it arrives before the holiday. For local pickup this is much more flexible.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting small batch, seasonal, handcrafted makers like us. Your love and support keep this apothecary movin’ forward. 💛🌿

Here you go, friends!

If you want quality foods that support local communities, then you don't need Aldi, or Winn Dixie, Publix, Wally World, or any of the big box stores.

We need to learn to eat with the seasons and eat from local producers. Because those "fresh" tomatoes you buy in January came from Ecuador and there's nothing local about that.

We need to look toward our actual local producers and not our local big box stores. Local producers like......

Blue Sky Farm
Latham Bee Farm
Mushroom Man Tan
Bayou Pecan Company
Cedar and Moon Apothecary
Humble Shack Farm
Mimi & Poppy's Place
Sims Woodland Farms

When we start eating local, buying local, and supporting local, there will be more local options appear, because the market will demand it.

You can find ALL of the above farms and producers at the Mimi & Poppy's Place Community Homesteader Workshop being held at the Semmes Community Center February 21st, 2026 from 9am to 5pm and the admission is FREE!. They will be there with their products for the season and will be providing presentations and demonstrations about how they farm, forage, and harvest. They're willing to give all of you and inside look on how YOU 🫵🏽 can be your own local producer.

We'll also have Potter Farm, MGM Academy of Agribusiness , Jena Benton, and Old 45 Balcksmith to offer their wisdom on fruit tree planting/pruning, when and how to start your garden, and canning your own fruits, jams, and jellies, and a little big of iron forging.

If you truly want local, then support local producers.
