Goldenrod Salve
Goldenrod Salve
Treat your skin to the soothing properties of our organically grown goldenrod.
This native North American plant has been used for centuries on ailments ranging from wounds and scrapes to gout, joint pain, arthritis, eczema and other skin conditions.
Here at Slow Farm, we love using this salve to rejuvenate our tired hands after a hard day’s work. Goldenrod’s anti-inflammatory properties help relax the muscles, and its antimicrobial properties promote healing, making us ready for the next day. This versatile salve can also be used on feet, knees, and shoulders.

ETHICALLY &
SUSTAINABLY GROWN
We take pride in ethically and sustainably growing our ingredients. Our acres of native goldenrod provide not only healing plant medicine for humans but also abundant habitat for pollinators, spiders, lizards, and ground birds. These resilient plants require minimal care and resources, making them sustainable crops that contribute to a healthier planet.
All of our products are free of palm oil and palm oil derivatives.
HAND HARVESTED
& PROCESSED
We hand-harvest all of the botanicals we use, ensuring we never take more than we can process at a time. The same person who picks the goldenrod also dries it, infuses it into organic oil, and creates a nourishing salve just for you. We produce our goods in small batches to guarantee freshness.
FARMING FORWARD BY
THINKING BACKWARDS
At Slow Farm, we believe in farming forward by thinking backwards. Rather than viewing soil as a means to support farming, we see farming as an opportunity to restore and nourish our soil. We tackle environmental challenges by researching and implementing livestock and plant species that contribute to sustainable solutions.
This slow and sustainable method has allowed us to plant over 400 native herb, fruit, and nut plants on our 47-acre farm, promoting biodiversity and creating a resilient ecosystem that can also nourish our community.Native plants require no fertilizers or irrigation, as they have evolved to thrive in the local environment. This makes them highly sustainable food and wellness resources.
The non-native crops we grow, such as camellia sinensis, tulsi, and rosemary, are xerotolerant, meaning they can grow in hot and dry conditions.

For allergy concerns, please note that Slow Goods are produced in a facility that also handles various nut products.

Additionally, if you have allergies to other members of the aster family (like sunflowers or daisies), this product may not be suitable for you.
