"nourish, heal, enlighten..."

Okay, so we may have
made up a word, but we
wanted to do something
unlike your typical health
food or market type place.
Every food we sell is
either organic or
wildcrafted. All organic
products are certified and
verified by Oregon or
California standards
which are stricter than the
USDA standards.
Everything is certified by
independent agencies
and we only use
wholesale sources that
verify their sources.
Wildcrafted means that
when plucked from the
wild, our foods are
harvested by hand and
observe ethical harvest
practices that guarantee
sustainability and
ecological balance.
We also strive to get fair
trade sources for our
imported foods and favor
local whenever possible.
As of yet, Michigan does
not have the organic
standards that we go by
but we are hoping and
helping to make that
happen.

'Botanica' is a real word.
In many cultures there is
a place to get healing
herbs and the raw
materials that not only
feed bellies but also feed
their belief systems. We
think there is a need to
provide for underserved
markets and cultures that
have unique needs. Part
of our mission is to
enlighten and we also
want to share these tools
and beliefs with
everyone. We think
familiarity does not breed
contempt we think it
breeds family and
knowledge extinguishes
the kind of fear that
separates us.
Terra Stella believes that
all faiths and beliefs
should be honored and
we work hard to provide
the herbs, tools and
traditional objects that
are needed and not
commonly found in the
area.
Please ask us if there is
something special that
you may need to find or
have made.

Alright, you got us... We
made up another word.
We had to. How do you
describe a place to get
something that is more
than just a candle.
Almost every culture has
traditions, beliefs and
uses that make candles
more than just an old
fashioned light source.
Whether it is to set the
mood for a romantic
dinner, mark the season,
remember a historic
event or symbolize a
prayer; we use candles to
signify and symbolize,
wish and wonder and to
blaze against the
darkness.
Our candles are 100%
soy and/or beeswax and
we never use paraffin
which is a petroleum
product. More important,
our candles are hand
poured or dipped and
contain no toxic dyes,
leaded wicks or scents
made from artificial
chemicals.

| This is a sidebar. Something that will eventually have all sorts of buttons, links and info. Hidden on the page you will find other things. Perhaps secret links or pictures or recipes. It is also where you'll find our Facebook or Etsy link and (shudder) maybe even Twitter. For now there is a link to our novel. A work in progress that may hold your interest. In the future we hope to finish it but for now we are going to focus on this page and maybe even on some spices, herbs, etc. By late summer our candlemaking will be started in earnest and we also hope to have a line of our own incenses once again. We are looking towards gift baskets and that sort of thing for the Fall and we already have a list of salts and herbs that people are clamoring for. At the risk of getting too busy, we do want to know what you are looking for and really want your input. Already we are looking for Dill, Red Clover and a few other requests so just email us and we'll see what we can find. Somewhere in all of this we are going to raise six kids, do our art and maybe even go on a date that doesn't have a two year old as a chaperone. We'll keep you posted... |
