Culinary Herbalism through the Lens of Spring with Brittnie Hall of Sister Harvest

Class Description:

Spring is a time of renewal, and in this class we’ll explore how to support our bodies through the season with simple, nourishing herbs and foods. We’ll talk about common springtime herbs and foods, the body systems and organs connected with spring, and easy ways to incorporate seasonal support into daily life. You’ll leave with a handful of practical recipes, and we’ll do a live demo of one or two so you can see how simple and approachable they are. This class is perfect for anyone curious about seasonal eating and herbal support.

Brittnie Hall:

Brittnie Hall is an Herbal Practitioner and Holistic Chef based in East Santa Rosa, Ca.

Her offerings include Botanical Foods & Elixirs for your pantry and retail spaces as well as Private Chef/Catering throughout Sonoma, Napa and Marin Counties.

Brittnie’s background in herbal medicine began in 2016 at The California School of Herbal Studies in Forestville, Ca., where she received in depth, hands on training in medicine making, clinical practice and community care through plant medicine. In 2017 she started Sister Harvest, with a line of functional cocoas and botanical drink’s, a way to offer “medicine” through a warm cup of cocoa. After graduating in 2019 she started her private practice as an herbal practitioner. She worked deeply with her community for 3 years doing consultations and formulating medicine from her in-home apothecary. As her practice grew her desire to support her community in a more accessible way grew as well. This led her to a holistic culinary training through Bauman College in 2022. At Bauman College Brittnie learned therapeutic and holistic techniques for nourishing and supporting the body with food through many stages of life. This adds deeply to her passion for community care through food and nourishment.

Currently Brittnie lives in East Santa Rosa alongside her two children, a heritage orchard, lots of herbs and veggies, and honeybees! Brittnie grows many of the herbs and flowers that she uses in her in-home apothecary and culinary practice. She values being in relationship with the land, local farmers and food communities.

Her culinary creations are reflective of the seasons, and her love of beauty and community.
