Dear Farm Family & Friends,

Wow! What a Spring we have had here in The Texas Hill Country. Lots of rainfall, like we have never seen and cool temperatures.

As June is upon us, it is time to be ready for some summer heat and even more outdoor activities. A sure way to ease the wear and tear on our feet is to use our Peppermint Foot Lotion, and Cool off in the shower with our Peppermint Bath & Shower Gel. Some other great herbs for helping to “keep you cool” this summer are Eucalyptus, Rose, Lemon, Ylang Ylang & Chamomile.

June is also the time of year when we are reminded to celebrate not only our Father's, but Grandfathers, Uncles, and all the other men who have mentored us, been there for us to look up to and influenced our lives. Acknowledge all of these special people on Father's Day, June 17.

Looking for something special for the men in your life? Fredericksburg Herb Farm has a wonderful selection of personal care products including colognes, lotions and soap gels in scents designed especially for men and unisex scents like St. Fiacre and A+Cross to please anyone. We also have wonderful vinegars and oils for grilling and kitchen extravaganzas!

Our herb for June is Epazote, Chenopodium ambrosioides, also known as American Wormseed, Mexican tea, and Stinking Weed.

We had a wonderful Lavender Dinner with Becker Vineyards, and lots of people enjoyed their Annual Lavender Festival in May. We are also excited to be in the upcoming The Wine Scout Film, be sure to check them out at www.thewinescout.com

Fredericksburg Herb Farm is also proud to be a part of the June Issue of Austin Monthly Home Magazine - on newsstands now! Check us out on page 85 with a wonderful story, "In the Garden: Scent from Heaven."

Have a great June with your friends and family in your garden, outside and on your vacation.

Blessings,

Bill Varney, founder
