Homemade Organic Herb Seasoning Salt 🍃✨

Take your seasoning game to the next level with this all-organic, farm-fresh herb seasoning salt! It’s perfect for sprinkling on roasted veggies, meats, or even adding to soups and stews. Make a small batch for yourself or a large batch to gift to friends and family!

Small Batch (1 cup salt)

— 1 cup organic Himalayan salt
— 3 tablespoons fresh organic rosemary, finely chopped
— 2 tablespoons dried organic basil
— 2 tablespoons organic garlic powder
— 1 tablespoon organic ground black pepper
— 1 tablespoon dried organic thyme
— 1 teaspoon dried organic sage

Large Batch (6 cups salt)

— 6 cups organic Himalayan salt
— 18 tablespoons fresh organic rosemary, finely chopped (about 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
— 12 tablespoons dried organic basil (3/4 cup)
— 12 tablespoons organic garlic powder (3/4 cup)
— 6 tablespoons organic ground black pepper (3/8 cup)
— 6 tablespoons dried organic thyme (3/8 cup)
— 2 tablespoons dried organic sage

How to Make It:

— Infuse the Salt with Fresh Rosemary
Blend fresh rosemary with the Himalayan salt in a food processor or with a mortar and pestle to release the aromatic oils. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

— Bake to Dry
Bake at 200°F for 20–30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure the rosemary dries evenly and doesn’t brown. For the large batch, divide it between multiple baking sheets if needed. Let the mixture cool completely after baking.

— Add the Dried Herbs and Spices
Mix in the basil, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme, and sage with the cooled rosemary salt.

— Blend Again for a Fine Texture (optional)
For a smoother seasoning, pulse everything briefly in a food processor.

— Store and Enjoy
Store your herb seasoning salt in airtight jars. Keep it in a cool, dry place, and it will stay fresh and fragrant for months. The large batch makes fantastic gifts—simply divide into smaller jars and label for a thoughtful homemade present.

Why Organic and Farm Fresh?

By using organic, farm-fresh ingredients, you’re preserving the true flavors and nutrients of the herbs. Plus, nothing says “thoughtful gift” like something homemade with care!

🌱 Try It On: Roasted potatoes, grilled meats, homemade focaccia, soups, and more.

#FarmSunday Devotional: Companions of Christ

In Acts Chapter 3, Peter and John encountered a man crippled since birth, begging at the temple gate. He asked them for money, but instead, they offered something far greater: healing through the name of Jesus Christ. Instead of being celebrated, Peter and John found themselves on trial. They were in trouble with everybody who was anybody— religious, political and social leaders. Under interrogation, Acts 4:13-14 gives us a glimpse into what their accusers saw:

“They couldn’t take their eyes off them—they saw Peter and John standing there so confident, so sure of themselves! The accusers’ and interrogators’ fascination deepened when they realized Peter and John were laymen with no training in Scripture or formal education. The accusers recognized them as companions of Jesus, and seeing the healed man in front of them, standing there so upright—so healed!—what could the accusers say against that?”

For Peter & John, in that heated moment when their actions were being interrogated and motives challenged, they relied on their only “credential”….which was being recognized as companions of Jesus.

In a world where people strive for titles, recognition, and status, what if the most important thing we were known for was our relationship and companionship with Jesus Christ? In the good and bad moments of of our life, what if others saw Christ’s love, His kindness, His joy, and His peace and healing power in us?

This week, let’s strive to letol our calling card be…..”we are companions of Jesus.”

✨ Surprise Silkie Blessings! ✨
We’re excited to introduce the newest (and most unexpected) additions to Sweet Bombdiggity Farms! After much thought (and some amazing suggestions), we’ve named our surprise December chicks… 🥁

🎄 Noel – our sweet little gray Silkie
🎄 Nog (short for Eggnog) – our darling buff brown Silkie

Their mama, Opal, has been dreaming of this moment all summer long. She’s been trying so hard to become a mama, and we are tickled that she won the battle of the moms to raise these two precious babies. 🐥💕

For now, we’re giving this little family some privacy to grow and bond. Fingers crossed for an easy integration into the flock when the time comes. Stay tuned for updates as these little fluffballs grow up on the farm! 🐓💛

Brighten Up Winter with Paperwhites!

Winter can feel a bit bleak after the holiday glow fades, but paperwhites are here to bring a little joy back into the season! These easy-to-grow beauties don’t just brighten up the holidays—they’re perfect for livening up your space all winter long.

And the best part? You don’t need a fancy planter or box-store kit to grow them. Let’s get creative!

Where to Find Paperwhite Bulbs

You can find paperwhite bulbs at:
- Local Garden Centers – Many carry bulbs seasonally, and it’s a great way to support local businesses.
- @tractorsupply – I saw some bukbs recently at my local one!
- Online Retailers – Look for reputable sources like @edenbrothers

Here’s How to Plant Paperwhites in a Found Container:

1️⃣ Find a container – Thrift stores are gold mines! Look for something unique, 3–4” deep, like a vintage bowl, teacup, glass container or even an old casserole dish. No need to break the bank on a container!
2️⃣ Add rocks or pebbles – This creates a base for your bulbs to nestle into.
3️⃣ Nestle the bulbs – Place the bulbs root-side down into the rocks, snug but not buried.
4️⃣ Water carefully – Add water just to the base of the bulbs so the roots can draw it up. Over-watering can cause rotting, so top off as needed.
5️⃣ Wait for the magic – In 4–6 weeks, you’ll have fragrant, delicate blooms to brighten up even the grayest winter day.

Pro Tip: Rotate the container occasionally for even growth. And if you’re worried about tall blooms tipping over, pop a few decorative sticks in as support or tie a lovely pop of color ribbon around them to brighten up your space.

Why Paperwhites?

Their delicate, fragrant blooms add a touch of life and joy to your home when everything outside feels gray and lifeless. They’re simple to grow, and each container can reflect your personal style—how’s that for BombDiggity?

Snow days at Sweet Bombdiggity Farms mean no days off! Whether it’s snowing or raining, the donkeys, goats, cats, dogs, chickens, and even the tiniest baby chicks still need food, care, and most importantly, love. We take so much pride in making sure every animal here is adored and treated with the very best care. It’s a lot harder in the snow, but when East Tennessee is blanketed in white, it’s a beautiful sight that makes all the work worth it. And that? That’s Bombdiggity.
