About The Local Wild

Welcome to The Local Wild

Thank you for visiting! My name is Taylor, and I am delighted to share this space with you.

I’m a mother, writer, and photographer learning to live inside the rhythms of our little homestead, where I wear many hats: beekeeper, homeschooler, and caretaker of an array of creatures, both human and animal. My work as a beekeeper is a constant source of inspiration, drawing from the hives, herbs, honey, and the sacred intersection of the ordinary and extraordinary in Creation.


Why The Local Wild Exists

At The Local Wild, I believe the remedies we first reach for should nourish us—not overwhelm us with synthetic additives, artificial dyes, or unnecessary fillers. Unfortunately, many over-the-counter “natural” remedies today include exactly those things.

Electuaries are a return to simplicity: whole herbs, raw honey, and nothing else. Each jar is a powerful combination of nature’s most nurturing elements, designed to support wellness while honoring the ancient tradition of blending herbs with honey.


Why Electuaries?

Electuaries are more than a remedy; they’re a reconnection to the roots of holistic care.

Unlike remedies that isolate single compounds or rely on synthetics, electuaries embrace the power of whole plants. The herbs and honey work together, creating a potent yet gentle form of support that aligns with the rhythms of our bodies.


The Science Behind Electuaries

Electuaries combine the natural preservative power of raw honey with the therapeutic benefits of powdered herbs, creating a connection that enhances their effectiveness.

  • Honey acts as a carrier, helping the body absorb the active compounds in the herbs.

  • Honey brings its own enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial properties.

  • The powdered herbs retain their full spectrum of beneficial compounds, allowing the whole plant to work in harmony with your body.

This holistic approach supports targeted wellness while respecting the body’s natural rhythms for healing and nourishment.

Electuaries are a timeless remedy, now backed by modern understanding of bioavailability and the collaboration between honey and herbs. It’s science and tradition, perfectly blended.


The Local Wild Commitment

My electuaries are crafted with the belief that wellness begins with trust—
trust in the ingredients, the process, and in Creation itself.

  • Every herb is organic or responsibly wildcrafted.

  • Each batch is made in small quantities for quality and potency.

I hope these electuaries become a meaningful part of your story, where the pieces of life weave together into a whole. There is wonder, beauty, and provision here beneath the sun—a glimpse of One far greater.
