Kathi's Teachers

by Amy Bley November 13, 2024

Kathi's Teachers

This week, we’re celebrating the lessons we’ve learned and the teachers, in all forms, that have led us where we are today. Making a list of one’s teachers is a way to practice awareness and gratitude. Here’s a list Kathi made of her teachers and some of the meaningful life lessons she’s gained throughout the years. 

  • The plants - they started talking to me as a child.
  • My family, specifically my mom, dad, Memere and Grandfather, who all supported and cultivated my love for the outside. My grandfather, who taught me about roses, gardening and fruit trees. 
  • My Mom and Dad, for letting me run wild in the woods and helping me start my first garden and pumpkin patch to sell on the side of the road as a kid. 
  • So many amazing teachers throughout my life in all the school systems I attended. Sadly, names flee me. 
  • The downeast coast and inlands of Maine. Those lands taught me so much. 
  • The Gila National Forest. I learned to trust and lean into the darkness even more in that land.
  • Islesboro, Maine, This land held and facilitated some of the darkest shadow work I’ve ever done. 
  • Cindy and Jim Dunham of Tanglewood for taking a chance on me. My years living at Tanglewood and in that forest where so much of my herbal growth started and where I learned to trust my intuition. 
  • Dennis and Joe King of King Hill Farm. These were my first farm mentors. These two taught me so much. I have endless gratitude for all they taught me. They taught me how to make really good homemade beer, wine, bread, and salad dressings, grind flour from grains grown and harvested right there on the farm. They had the most amazing pantry I’ve ever seen to this day. 
  • Scott Greene and Suzanne Young, they taught me so much about my own strength and knowledge. I have gratitude for all the support they gave to me in my younger years and for seeing things in me that I couldn’t always see myself. 
  • Sue Hatch for all the love and support in my life, especially during my 20s. Her strength and wisdom guided me and still does today. 
  • My herbal colleagues and herbal sisters, Sheila Kingsbury, Mary Blue, Nikki Telkes, Helen Ward, Larken Bunce, and SO many more. 
  • Rosemary Gladstar, Deb Soule and Gail Faith Edwards. Theirs were my first “herbal” focused books that I read, beyond Euell Gibbons and Tom Brown Jr books. All three of these herbalists have played a role in my herbal journey, along with Leslita Williams, David Winston, Leslie Alexander, Mimi Prunella Hernandez, Tammy Sweet and still SO many more.
  • Rosemary Gladstar, for continuing to support me and the work throughout all these years. She has been a true believer in my formulas from the first time we met and I can’t thank her enough for all of her love and support. 
  • My team at Herbal Revolution. To all the employees that currently work with me and to the ones that have come and gone. I learn so much from these incredible people, they have taught me so much in regards to patience, gratitude, humility, vulnerability and acceptance. 
  • My partner Gus and all the animals in my life. The animals teach me every day to be in the moment. To love and appreciate what is and that life is always changing, to embrace the moment and love it to its fullest.

Why Fire Cider Now?
Why Fire Cider Now?

by Katheryn Langelier October 01, 2026

As we head into the colder months, our Fire Cider and Elderberry, Mushroom & Roots Elixir move to the kitchen counter, where they're always on hand for taking daily.

Fire Cider is the one I reach for first. I take a shot every morning, and I love how the warming, spicy herbs and vegetables, along with the tang of the vinegar, shake me awake and warm me up. I can immediately feel my body warm and feel energized, my digestion fire up, and the movement of any congestion.

Summer Solstice on the Farm: Herbs, Harvests and the Longest Day
Summer Solstice on the Farm: Herbs, Harvests and the Longest Day

by Katheryn Langelier June 17, 2026

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. It’s the moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and the growing season feels full, alive and illuminated. For many, it’s a time of celebration, abundance and light. For those of us who farm, garden or work closely with plants, it’s also a meaningful marker in the rhythm of the year.

As a farmer and an herbalist, it marks a time when so many things are coming into life or have fully come alive. There’s something deeply magical and otherworldly for me at this time of year. The thick, humid evenings. The way the humidity hangs onto every molecule it can find. Dusk has a thickness to it, one you can almost wrap yourself in.
