Hi guys! My name is Sammie & I am a homesteading wife, a homeschooling mom & a granny.
We live on a 10-acre small hobby farm in Oklahoma, and we have 7 children with 4 still at home. We grow & process a majority of our meat supply & grow an organic garden that supplies us throughout the year by growing & preserving.
We are also blessed with many wild edibles growing on our land to forage, eat & to also use medicinally ~ I show you how to harvest, use & preserve some of them.
Thank you for stopping by! We hope you enjoy our family channel & consider subscribing.

Jars should be filled to the top. Air is not our friend.
Ohhh.... That's an excellent point. Thank you. 😊
I wonder if Goldenrod and Tallow would be a good combination?
That actually sounds like a geeat combination!
Hi I’m just reading a book by Dorothy Gilman (she wrote the Mrs Pollifax series) called girl in Buckskin. It was written in 1956 but there is a character called Blue Feather in it. I just wondered if you had read the book or came up with the name Blue Feather maybe just finding one. I know this is far fetched but I love synchronicity- I started reading the book yesterday and she mentioned making goldenrod tea; today I find you on YT at a place called Blue Feather, making Goldenrod Tea? Crazy! Thank you. I see it everywhere and will go get some today and try it.
@Homer2q I absolutely love this. ~No accidents. There must be a reason why we are crossing paths. My ancestors were definitely in buckskin. I love feathers and keep every one of them that I find. I needed a homesteading name for my channel and I originally wanted green feather because I love to garden, but it was taken. I thought about blue feather because of the sky, the ocean, and it's a beautiful calming color. It was NOT taken, so it was 🙏. It became my name. 💙 😁
I really enjoyed this video. I had no idea the many uses for Goldenrod. Thank you for sharing all of this information.
Absolutely 😊 Thank you so much. So grateful for this stuff.
could you add goldenrod to fire cider? instead of having another apple cider concoction to drink?
Interesting.... Why not!?! I think that is a fabulous idea!!!
You shouldn't use a metal spoon with honey. Ise instead a wooden or plastic spoon
@@rodneyb7918 Excellent point. Thank you 😊
Wonderful, concise, informative video. It's mid-August, and here in NY goldenrod is just starting to bloom. It grows very abundantly here, and horses do not eat it (I mow my pastures anyway, but it is in the fencerows and on steep banks. I have a ton of it drying! It's going to rain all day, but I have lots of herbs to play with and make oils and tinctures. Elderberry, comfrey, and some ripe peaches for a cobbler, too. Thanks!
@@palominogirl2732Thank you so much. That all sounds so wonderful!!!! I LOVE that!!!!
@@bluefeatherhomestead Awww. :)
Thank you, excellent information! My golden rod is fuzzy while drying, does it still have medicinal benefits?
Great video. I add wild ginseng root to my golden rod tea 🙂
Now that is an awesome idea!!! Thank you. 😊
I was reading The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies just before I saw your video come up in my feed the other day and I was showing my wife that golden rod is medicinal. What a coincidence. 8 had no idea it was worth so much. You are so smart to know all the things you put in your videos.
What a coincidence for sure. It is a wonderful plant that should be celebrated! We are so fortunate to have it growing right here in our back yard! Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate you. I bet that book is interesting & fantastic. 🌱🌼
@@bluefeatherhomestead I gave it away to a good friend and I ordered another copy. I intend to order more and give the out as Christmas gifts. We will one day rely on people with this knowledge and people like you will be very sought after. Probably more so than conventional doctors.
@@TheSHOP411 How nice of you & what an amazing & thoughtful gift to receive. Thank you & I agree with you. I sure do hope people are learning more about natural meds & foods that will benefit them & their health. AND you can't beat the price of wild edibles! 😂
I also make goldenrod tincture. Just a historical note: goldenrod tea was called “Liberty Tea” and drank by our forefathers and mothers. Liberty Tea and Yapon Holly tea. The holly tea was mixed with it as the Holly tea also has caffeine in it. Loved your video! I am a herbalist in North Carolina! Love and Light to all
This is so awesome! Thank you for the history. I love this. I am ready to dig deeper into the many herbs, the history, and uses. I bet North Carolina is absolutely beautiful in the fall. Are the leaves turning yet? Also, many thanks for the love and light blessing. ✨️🙏 so much appreciated.
I bet it would be great as an oxymel too. And a lot tastier to drink as a med.
im a learning herbalist and noticed goldenrod growing wild at the edge of wild blackberries so i hit ur page to see how to harvest it for tea. im thinking about a mixture tincture
Amazing I never knew goldenrod was so beneficial!
Isn't that wonderful?! 😊 Thank you & I hope you have a great week. ~Sammie
The video got so much better when the music stops.
Constructive criticism, no disrespect; lose the background noise.
The subject & your narration of it is great! The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music detracts greatly from your sharing of your knowledge.
It's not bad to have it during the intro/outro or during the non-speaking parts.
@savage22bolt32 Music? I only hear it during the intro. 🤔 interesting. Sorry it distracted you, but I am thankful that you enjoyed the subject and narration. 😊 I love Goldenrod!
@@bluefeatherhomestead ❤🌞
I haven’t seen that here but it’s bound to be here somewhere! Great video and info Sammie!! 😊❤️
Thank you. Oh yes, I bet you are right. We are not too far from each other and have similar weather. I hope you find some next season. I sure do love the Ozarks. Beautiful, especially at Christmas time. 🎄❄️⛪
Great video. I've never used goldenrod for anything but am going to have to see if we can harvest any here in Utah.
Thank you. Please let me know. I am curious.
"the pokey woods." See I need to live there
😆 love it
Can you make vinegar infusion with wine or balsamic vinegar.
That's a really good question & I wish I had the answer. I will need to look into that. I honestly do not see why you couldn't unless the acid isn't strong enough to keep buggies/germ growth at bay.
Castor oil would be best it is the most penetrative oil you could use on your skin
That is a wonderful idea!! Thank you. I use castor oil, and it seriously hadn't crossed my mind. I'll be doing this. Thank you. ~Sammie
It's the state flower of Kentucky
How awesome is that?! I did not know this my friend. Thank you for sharing.
@@bluefeatherhomestead I was a kid in Kentucky. I didn't know the plant was so useful. Thx for a great video. How about them cattails?
Used to be Alabama state flower I think.
Then it changed to some rose not even native to here.
Lol
Go figure.
I'm sure politics had something to do with it.
@robertbrokus2123 😮 wow!!! Interesting
Cattails can be used to make baskets, pollen can be used as flour, and lots of other uses.
We are not familiar with Goldenrod here in the UK but we are sure that you make delicious tea ! Best Wishes.
Awe thank you so much. It is really good tea. I am still wanting to try some of your yummy recipes. Love & blessings my friends. ~Sammie
Great video-- thank you! How much of the acv goldenrod do you take daily? Trying to get my kids and myself help with our allergies!!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that & and it is absolutely my pleasure. I usually take about 1/2 to 1 tsp (acv) in about 1/2 coffee Cup of Water daily. It is so beneficial for so many things. I LOVE it. I have also heard to put a dot of peppermint oil in between your eyes, above your nose, to help with allergies. But it will burn your eyes if it gets in them (obviously), so maybe not on a day that you're sweating outside or something. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day, friend. 🙏 ~Sammie
Hey Sammie! I hope you’re getting a great harvest of this this year! I found some on our property but it’s such a small amount I hate to even take any of it. I’m hoping more grows and I gotta check the back of the property….crossing fingers more is back there! 😊👍❤️
Oh, I hope you come across some more. I don't blame you for leaving it. I've been seeing it everywhere around here when driving around. I feel like stopping and cutting. 😆 I do still have some dried from last year to last me through, but so tempting to grab it all.
How do you dry the goldenrod so it doesn’t fuzz up? How do you keep the dry leaves/flowers for tea throughout the year? Total newbie but my land is FULL of goldenrod and I can’t wait to start preparing your recipes
@amymasterson527 I wish i could post a photo on here. It does fuzz up, but it's not too bad at all. I keep mine in a big glass container/jar. I put leaves and the fuzzy flowers in my tea bag. I hope this helps. ~Sammie 😊
It's just Labor day but I'm already seeing plenty of goldenrod with the flowers out here by me in the Chicago Suburbs. Is it too early to start collecting?
I hope that I am not too late! But yes, harvest it when the flower blooms. 🌼
i love golden rod. great video
Thank you so much. I'm with you! I love it, too. 😀
Nice video & Great information!
🌾🌾🌾
Thank you, ma'am. Free medicine. I LOVE IT!!!! lolol
Absolutely awesome you make your own vinegar👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!!!
How the heck do u make vinegar 😂
Thank you for sharing your recipes. Do you have a good recipe for goldenrod jelly? I just discovered goldenrod last year and I love it. I had a cop of tea this morning.
My pleasure!! Funny you say that! I just screenshot a goldenrod jelly recipe a couple of weeks ago. I will try and find it. 😆 ~yummy... I L♡VE tea's. It's so rainy here today, so some elderberry tea was heavy on my mind.
how late in the season can you harvest goldenrod?
That is a great question. If they still have flowers on them, then you can use them. The best time or when they are the most potent is when the flower is just barely opening. I apologize for taking this long to answer. Somehow, I miss comments along the way. I hope you have a great day and coming up weekend! 😊 ~Sammie
Great idea sister thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😊Thank you so much for watching. You are a beautiful soul. Blessings
I really want to make some tea but it’s so late in the season here all our golden rod has already started turning a little brown. Is it too late to use it do I gotta just wait till next year it’s just not bright yellow anymore.
This is a really great question, and I have been looking to find
an answer. In my mind, I say why not do it now before it's completely dead. I haven't found anything that says it's either beneficial or harmful at this point. I'm trying to think of an example to myself.... I wouldn't pick & eat cilantro if it was dead, but I might if it was turning a little brown. I'm going to have to say, it's your call. I literally can not find the answer.
☆☆I'm hoping that if anyone else reading this knows the answer to this question, we will gladly accept!! Thank you
~Sammie
I've never seen this kind of plant in our place 🤔
Hmmm.... I hope you find some. Let me know if you do. By the way..... I absolutely LOVE your profile pic!!! The hand holding the earth, the dirt, the tree, new life..... I love it!!
Thanks! I needed to hear this information today.
@@the-asylum My pleasure. Thank you for stopping by, my friend. 🌾
I was told to soak in salt water to kill any tiny insects. It that necessary? ???
Good question. I would say, why not? I would soak it for at least 10 minutes to rid of any unwanted insects. (This is what I read) I personally just give the plant a good shake, which probably doesn't rid them all. I just may start soaking them! 😆 thanks for the question & helping me learn something today. I love it! Have a blessed day, my friend. ~Sammie
Doing this soon. Do you strain the one with oil or leave the golden God in there n how do you use it?
That's a really great question. I do strain it. A couple of ways to use it would be making a salve with it (topical~for pain and/or inflammation). I have mixed it with honey & apple cider vinegar for my salads as a dressing. I hope this helps & hope that you are having a great week! Thank you.
Can you harvest it before it blooms?
Great question! It's best to harvest it when it first starts to bloom.
Been meaning to get me some of these. Some
.great ideas how to use, Sammi
Oh wonderful. Thank you so much my friend.
Hey Hun,
I just found out that the type of ACV you are using ( which I USED to use too) the company has been acquired by a company owned by Mr? Bill Gates. Do your research to make sure, but if you can find a local w/ mother I would. Love the video, very informative.
Thanks & God Bless 🙏
@@Ashieskittypap64 ohhh heck no! Thank you so much for the heads up. I will be finding something else.
@@bluefeatherhomestead
Whitehouse organic apple cider vinegar made with shennandoh hard cider from Virginia apples
Eden Foods Organics makes an ACV and it comes in a dark glass bottle too - much better than Braggs
@davidsawmandave8731 Thank you sooo much!!! I will be looking into this for sure.
@kerryandcasey Wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for this. I also found out recently that I should only be using organic casteroil in a glass, dark bottle. I had been using one from the health food store that was in a plastic bottle. These companies can be so misleading. I appreciate this tip. 🙏
Been meaning to get me some of these. Some great ideas how to use, Sammi.
Wonderful! Such an awesome plant for sure. Thank you so much guys.
Love the video ❤
Fantastic! Thank you so much!
Interesting Sammie, I've heard of Goldenrod but was unaware of all the benefits.
Would you use the infused olive oil in cooking aswell?
Very cool
Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🌱🌱
Thank you both so much. Yes, absolutely to cook with as long as it's something that you would normally cook with it. 😊
Thank you! 😎 God Bless 🕊️🙂
My pleasure & Thank you for that blessing, my friend. 🙏✨️
Hi, what is the best way to dry goldenrod?
I'm not sure of the best way, but I have found it best to hang dry. I dry all of my herbs the same. Just air dry.
@@bluefeatherhomestead thank you
How do you get all the bugs off Goldenrod????
I just give them a good shake, but I had a friend recommend soaking in salt. (I believe for 13 minutes) to get rid of unwanted bugs. I hope this helps & that you have a fantastic week, my friend. 😃
@@bluefeatherhomestead Thank you so much!!
Where did you get your bowl? My mother would love to have one!
@stellahendren3807 The wooden bowl was my father in laws grandmothers. 😊
Oh wow! Yeah, I'm sure they don't make them like that any more. Thanks anyway! 😊
@stellahendren3807 I know, right?! It's wonderful. My pleasure. Have a blessed evening ✨️
Wow, great idea with the tea!
Yes! Thank you for stopping by! Goldenrod is so good.
Thank you very much.
Very much my pleasure! Have a great week, my friend. 😀 ~Sammie
Love the wooden bowl❤
Thank you 😊 it was my father in laws grandmothers bowl. You have a good eye. ❤️
Goldenrod sun tea?
What a fantastic idea! I love that. Thank you 😊 My grandma always had a jug of tea sitting out in the sun brewing. Why have I not done this. Have a great evening, my friend. ~Sammie 😃
I love grape seed oil.
I love your channel name!!!
Also, it looks like we have some common interests by your subscriptions. I MUST have my next level soul, well.... actually, I watch a lot of NDE podcasts. I am currently trying to learn reiki. Keep connected ❤️🙏✨️
Great video , they make a straw called jo go sipping straw , amazing product, has filter on end
Thank you. 😲 Now that is a must have!!! Thank you for the information. I'm definitely going to look into those. Also, thank you for sharing with all of us. Happy Friday!
I would always wash plants…birds,bugs and mice do mess on plants…just saying.
I agree. After the last comment, I said, "Yes, I will absolutely be washing them from now on." 😆 I mean, I wash the heck out of the veggies from the grocery store. Worried about who touched what and then the food. I surely should be washing these. Yikes! Thank you and have a blessed evening. ~Sammie 😊
You think rince in water will clean out that🤔
