Prickly Pear from Harvest to Table

26 minutes 1 Lesson

We start our journey hand harvesting the mature prickly pear fruits out in the high desert of northern Arizona, processing them and pressing juice for your morning smoothie. Chocked full of nutrients, bioflavonoids and vitamin C, this desert cactus can strengthen your cardiovascular system and keep you cooled in hot weather.

Get Your Feet Wet Series

We have so many blessings in our lives — things we take for granted or aren’t even aware of. Plant medicine is abundant, growing in ancient forests, in desert canyons, and in the cracks of the sidewalk. If we only knew their healing potential!

This series offers short, self-contained video courses — each one a different doorway into the plant path. You’ll find teachings on ceremony and plant spirit, foraging and wild foods, natural remedies for home and garden, seasonal kitchen medicine, and the wisdom of the elders. Join us for the whole series, or simply choose the one that’s calling you.
