Mama Jo's Sunshine Herbals is excited to announce their annual Christmas Open House, taking place on Saturday, December 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year’s celebration of 25 years will feature a community culinary contest, where participants are invited to create dishes using Mama Jo’s Herbal Culinary Seasoning Blends. Seasoning samples and contest details can be picked up at the store. “We can’t wait to see the creative ways our community uses our seasonings,” says Joanna Helms, Registered Herbalist and owner of Mama Jo’s Sunshine Herbals. Winners will be announced at the open house. Three blossoming gift baskets will be awarded for prizes.

Attendees will enjoy handcrafted treats, including Joanna’s Jolt Energy Balls, Seasonal Wassail, and Kava-nog, as well as gift baskets and handmade herbal products. Guests can relax in the garden while listening to live acoustic guitar. In addition, participants may win one of Mama Jo’s 25 original formulas in the Retro Raffle. They can also learn more about the new Using Herbalism for Health through the Seasons series, the November Herb Angel Class – where they can create their own herbal holiday angel – and the upcoming Mama Jo’s Tea Club.

“Come enjoy the holiday fun,” invites Helms. “We look forward to sharing our hearts in thankfulness and celebration of another year serving our community.”
