Using California Native plants to make products & our new product Mojave Gold!

from Agave & Cactus Talk · host steve sanchez

Today im talking a bit about the California Native plants im growing, and how identification of them has completely changed how i look at my farm. Instead of seeing it as something wild now I see it as a herbal scrubland full of plants that can be utilized and managed like a farm. Keeping a large portion of the farm wild has always been my goal, so future generations may see the desert as I saw it. Today i talk about one of the first products we felt ready to release to all of you and the public, which is mojave gold, a balm/salve made out of creosote and white bursage. It has replaced a dozen + products in ny hygiene shelf and its being received really well, so we hope to keep providing it. Anyways hope you enjoy the podcast and learn something, have a great day! *** If you need any Agave, cactus or furcraea plants contact me by email or message me on : instagram: farmingandgardeningcalifornia email: [email protected] contact form on agaverocaliforniano.com Youtube: Agavero Californiano *** Also visit and support the California Agave Alliance, at Californiaagavealliance.com, we are working on creating a diverse and equitable agave industry in California.
