Seaberry Oxymel - Making Seabuckthorn Medicine

Making our favorite seaberry product... apple colder vinegar honey and seaberry. All from the farm.

This oxymel recipe is super delicious. Highly recommend.

Found this video. Just transplanted my 4 Sea Buckthorn bushes this Summer. Needed a good video on processing. The suggestion on the Nut Milk Bag really helped me too.

[@brookes275]

Thank you so much for the video! I also have your book, and your online permaculture course. Would love if Erica (and you!) wrote a book with all her favorite herbal recipes and your farm food recipes.

Brooke S thanks we’ll try!

[@ANorthernSpy]

Thanks for sharing this Ben. I’m about two years away from my bushes producing and looking forward to making an oxymel like this. I dream of having that many seeds to grow out and share as you have been doing. Much appreciation for your work sharing this medicine. ✊🏻

Thanks!

Awesome dude! Just found this! I have seeds started in stratification atm... February I trigger them... SOOOOOO excited for Sea Buckthorn! Thanks Ben!

looks yummy

So Oxymel reminds me of Switchel. It’s ACV, honey or other sugar and even maple syrup sometimes, with ginger, and some sort of citrus fruit. I was considering doing Switchel with my Sea Buckthorn berries

growing entire trees from seeds is a heck of a job, especially when your cat eats germinated stems

Ben, simply out of curiosity, where did you learn all this? I own your book (love it), and your permaculture dvd series. I’m curious as to when you went down this rabbit hole of permaculture and sustainable living. Grew up this way? Good teacher? Health diagnosis that made you change? I’m a biography-type person and love to learn the reasons why people do what they do. If you could enlighten me or point me to a source I’d love it! I live in Texas so looking for other plants beside sea berry that are medicinal since 100 degree days and drought usually murder plants without a TON of captured water haha.

[@wholesystems]

Neal Vaughn thanks man... I didn’t grow up this way at all... suburban. Conventional. But I did learn confidence and the ability to question everything or try...

[@boreanwisdom946]

Do you have fruits that you would not recommend to use in an oxymel?

[@sylviagan1069]

Any extra sea buckthorn seeds to spare 🤩 Thank you

[@SN-tx9yh]

Ben, what is that variety of seaberry?? Here in Denmark we only have seaberries that are soft and squishy and with very nasty thorns - I could never pick such a basket! Did you say at one point that this is your own variety? Can I buy seeds?

[@carolewarner101]

Wondering that too, as well as hoping for a video on best ways to plant, propagate & transplant.

[@johnowens5342]

Like Mead with sea berry?

[@brookes275]

Sorry one quick question - do you freeze these, or how long do they last in the fridge?

[@wholesystems]

Brooke S we freeze the oxymel then have in fridge for some weeks not months

[@karmelicanke]

Why not drink the water drained from grinding and rinsing the seeds. It must contain vitamins.

What is the Bioactive ingredient to decrease the inflammation caused by arthritis? Hippophae rhamnoides

[@angelawho9083]

Jealous.

What do you do with the seeds? Please explain?

[@wholesystems]

We give them to friends or sometiems have given them away to anyone writing us..

[@HB-yk4ut]

Will you send me some?

[@DGStudio]

Hey man, vinegar kills vitamin c. A teacher told me that in high school. Cheers!

[@wholesystems]

Interesting thought, but ACV actually contains vitamin c so I don’t think it destroys it all.
