Comfrey is the bomb-proof food our family relies on for nutrition. This is how I harvest and dry comfrey leaves to drink throughout the year as Nourishing Herbal Infusions

Comfrey is not only an incredible healing herb, but is #FoodAsMedicine. Comfrey leaves are packed with minerals and protein.

There is so much healthy comfrey in the nodig vegetable garden. We see bumblebees feeding all day. This bumblebee is feeding with a dramatic flair. Comfrey is a great green manure for making compost.
