Over the last few weeks, some of our wonderful volunteers have been out picking nettles from across Teesdale. 💚

For centuries, nettles have featured in tinctures, tonics and herbal preparations, making them the perfect ingredient to celebrate The Witham’s origins as a people’s dispensary.

We’ve now processed our nettle harvest and transformed it into a nettle inspired new range of drinks (available at Henry’s.)

Stay tuned to see what the dispensary has been concocting… 🌿
