Hosted by Brian Tant, the BubbaTanicals Podcast seeks to inform and entertain. It leaves no stone unturned on the subject of operating a small farm and homestead. Nothing is taboo when it comes to Brian's irreverent narrative on nearly everything from crafts to chickens, fencing to farmers markets, gardening to goats, horses to home remedies, beekeeping, and everything in between.

One of my geographically distant (albeit cool) extended family members gave me an almanac of country wisdom this year for Christmas. And I thought it was perfect to put my own spin on some of these tips and share them with you guys on the blog and in the podcast. So as such I’ve added a new category to the blog called.. “Country Wisdom” (Pretty original, I know). I’m also going to be tossing in some of these tips to the podcast, so I’m excited about that.

So in honor of this auspicious occasion, I’d like to present this helpful tidbit to kick it off!

How to store Herbs

Here’s a few tips on how to keep your herbs viable through the colder months when you might not have access to any fresh plants.

  • Make sure you use the right container. Airtight glass or metal are the best way to go. If you go with glass, make sure that it’s dark or that you store it in a dark location, since light will degrade the potency of the herb over time. Used mason jars (like the ones you would get from our jams and jellies) work well.
  • Make sure they are completely dry or they will mold. if possible store them on a dry day with low humidity.
  • Once you do get them dry. Store them in sealed containers immediately. Leaving them out on the drying racks or handing longer than necessary will also degrade the potency of the herb.
  • Store different herbs in separate containers to keep the flavors from mingling or degrading each others.
  • Watch for condensation. This is especially true if you keep your herbs in a cold place or if you live in a northern climate. Condensation is bad.

    • Enjoy!
