In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined by the one and only jim mcdonald.

Amanda and I had the opportunity to sit down with jim at the Great Lakes Herb Faire, one of our all-time favorite events.

We chat a bit about the history of the Faire, jim's childhood, developing confidence as a teacher, "gentle does not mean weak", why no one is the "best" herbalist, and a whole lot more!

jim even introduces us to an incredibly rare plantain species, stay tuned 'til the end for that one!

Also, there's a special guest question from Faire keynote speaker Rosalee de la Forêt.

Twas an incredibly fun and heartfelt conversation and I know you're goin' to love this one!

Thanks, as always for tuning in to The Herbalist Hour.

We'll see you in the next episode,

Enjoy,

~Mason

PS - shoutout and big thanks to my good buddy JB over at Midwest Digital Ninjas for helping create the prog-rock version of The Herbalist Hour theme song. Before my interview with jim, he joked that the theme song should be a prog-rock version for his episode. So I reached out to JB for help since I knew he has access to an AI music generation app. Technology is gettin' crazy out there!
