✨ A sweeter way to take your medicine ✨

Our Fire Honey has been beautifully redesigned and lovingly handcrafted from start to finish. Raw honey slowly infused with traditional warming herbs, roots, and spices, created to support the body and make herbal medicine a little more inviting.

This is old-world wisdom meeting modern ritual. A spoonful in your tea, drizzled over toast, or taken straight from the jar when your body needs a little extra warmth and love.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make remedies like this yourself, join us for our Fire Cider Workshop on February 23rd at Back to Basics. We’ll talk tradition, technique, and how to make medicine that actually fits into daily life.

🌲 New Batch of Fire Cider Brewing at Black Locust Apothecary 🔥

This week we’re adding pine needles to our Fire Cider, and we couldn’t be more excited to share why this forest ally deserves a place in your jar.

Pine needles have a long history in folk herbalism and are traditionally valued for their aromatic, warming, and invigorating qualities. Rich in natural vitamin C and full of resinous compounds, pine brings a bright, forest-fresh flavor while supporting the body during the colder months.

✨ Why pine needles in Fire Cider?
• Traditionally used to support seasonal wellness
• Warming and stimulating—perfect for Fire Cider
• Aromatic and grounding, connecting us to the forest
• Adds a crisp, citrus-like flavor that balances vinegar and spice

As always, we work with the plants respectfully and intentionally, crafting our Fire Cider as a time-honored tonic rooted in tradition and connection to the land.

Here’s to slow brewing, wild plants, and keeping herbal traditions alive 🌿

New arrivals in the shop! We’ve always had our rich + creamy duck eggs ($10/dozen)… and now, by popular demand, we’re carrying farm fresh chicken eggs too — just $4/dozen!

Straight from happy local hens and ducks, no mystery feed, no factory nonsense. Just the real deal for your kitchen.

✨ Duck eggs = extra rich, dreamy for baking
✨ Chicken eggs = classic, versatile, everyday

Swing by and snag a dozen before they sell out — because once they’re gone, they’re gone.

It is such an honor to be going back to my roots! Come and grab your fresh Fire Cider, great for your immune system 🔥🔥🔥🔥

We’ll be closed this Saturday, Oct 4th as we’ll be speaking at St. Mary Magdalene’s Women’s Luncheon about faith, family, and the importance of tradition. ✨

This mission has always been about more than bread and herbs — it’s about preserving the values and skills that carry families through hard times.

We’ll be back in the shop Tuesday, Oct 7th with shelves full of remedies and the energy of community. Thank you for cheering us on as we grow, serve, and share 🖤

🔥✨ Exciting News! ✨🔥

I am beyond excited to announce my upcoming Fire Cider Workshop! 🌿 This isn’t just about making a tonic—it’s about learning to take charge of your health and becoming more aware of what you put in and on your body.

Fire Cider is a traditional, immune-boosting tonic that’s been trusted for generations. It’s warming, energizing, and packed with powerful ingredients that support your body year-round—especially during the changing seasons.

Hosting this workshop is such a proud moment for me. I’m stepping out into the world to share this knowledge and to connect with like-minded people who believe in natural wellness and the magic of plant remedies. 🌱💚

📲 Simply scan the QR code in the picture to reserve your spot!

Come join me, learn something new, and walk away with your own jar of Fire Cider and the confidence to keep making it at home. Let’s ignite our health—together! 🔥

🌿✨ Every day we unlock the doors, Lisa and I are reminded of what an absolute honor and privilege it is to do this work. To share herbs, remedies, and good things from the heart with our community is such a blessing, and we don’t take it for granted. 💚

🌱 On the front table this week, you’ll find fresh herbs for sale—grown with love straight from our gardens to you. And we’re extra excited to be sharing our dear friend Val’s tasty Concord grapes and plums, harvested right from her garden. 🍇🍑

🥚 Don’t forget—fresh chicken and duck eggs are here too! Locally sourced and farm-fresh, they’re a real treat.

🌟 Keep your eyes open—we have a few new items dropping this week and even some of our timeless classics are getting a little facelift.

We are so lucky and grateful to be able to do what we love and share it with people we love. Thank you for being part of our journey.
