Seven Generations Farm is the Homestead, Herbal Farm, and apothecary of Nicole Langlois and Eric Zablowsky.
New England is our home.
four seasons are in our bones.
we are bound to this community and feel deeply rooted in this abundant landscape.
..
On our homestead we work in conjunction with nature, in harmony with the seasons, and take time to become aware of not just what our human vision may be, but what the land is truly requiring.
Herbal Medicine is one facet of what we do. There is an acute awareness of the need to be healthy, specifically preventative, holistic, overall wellness. Vital, healthy individuals are the foundation of a vibrant community. Herbal medicine offers support without exclusion, and we promote health without judgment or restriction. We are fierce advocates for social change that supports the whole, systems that advance not only the human species, but all species. Through our work with the land, teaching of classes, and work in our local community, we intend to continue to advocate for those whose voices have been quieted.
We care immensely about our plant relations and no harvest proceeds without deep thanks.
The plant allies in our community are our kin and we respect them as so.
How would you live then?
By Mary Oliver
What if a hundred rose-breasted grosbeaks
flew in circles around your head? What if
the mockingbird came into the house with you and
became your advisor? What if
the bees filled out your walls with honey and all
you needed to do was ask them and they would fill
your bowl? What if the brook slid downhill just
past your bedroom window so you could listen
to its slow prayers as your fell asleep? What if
the stars began to shout their names, or to run
this way and that way above the clouds? What if
you painted a picture of a tree, and the leaves
began to rustle, and a bird cheerfully sang
from its painted branches? What if you suddenly saw
that the silver of water was brighter than the silver
of money? What if you finally saw
that the sunflowers, turning toward the sun all day
and every day - who knows how, but they do it - were
more precious, more meaningful than gold?
