I started with the intention of taking more control of my health. At first, my interest focused mostly on tinctures, to help cure chronic distress symptoms for my family. As our health improved, I looked for ways to use the herbs more as food. We adorned our family table with the taste and healing properties of our "Herbal Gourmet" vinegars, olive oils and honey.
I’ve been on this path of herbal wholeness and healing for almost two decades now. I feel that I’ve reached a deeper place in myself and in this business. My intention when I get up in the morning is still the same: to create beauty and wholeness with my products. I still make everything by hand, from the earth to you.
Working with the plants outside is strenuous on the body. It has led me into the body care products and my bath room became my personal spa and sanctuary. Thus, I created the herbal bath salts to soak my body in the tub, afterwards using the various salves and creams for further healing. Lip balms, massage oils and spritzers complemented my "Home Spa" and body care ritual.

I have been apprenticing and working the shows with Julia for the past 4 years. I have been growing my own herbs at home and playing around with making my own herbal remedies for my family.
I love working with plants and learning what they can do to help us. I truly believe that they are the medicine God intended us to use, when at all possible.
I have been on a health and wellness journey for about 14 years now. Learning how to eat properly, keep our body’s moving, and supplementing whereever possible.
Through my work with Julia, I learned how to further heal myself and how these plants really are our herbal allies. I am new to the production side of things with Julia, but I am excited for this new opportunity and journey.
The Herb Kitchen
Our kitchen is filled with the sights and smells of organically grown and wild crafted herbs. The shelves are filled with jars of herbs in various mediums vinegars, honey, various oils, and tinctures in alcohol. After two to four months, these mediums absorb the healing properties of the herbs and then can be used in various products we create.
