This morning I bottled up our 100th batch of Elderberry Syrup 🀯 What began as making care packages for friends and family in early 2020 and then slinging syrup out of the back of the car as word got out, has flourished into something bigger than I ever could have imagined.
I'm incredibly grateful for my community near & far and this herbalism journey that I've been on for over 15 years now.
Thank you for being a part of it πŸ™πŸΌ

Tomorrow, Monday December 29th, is the last day to catch me at the apothecary before I take my Winter snooze. Come stock up or just stop in and say hello and help yourself to some tea.

Time has slipped away from me and here we are in mid-December already 🀯 Par for the course, our hours will look a little different as we finish out the year and head into the next.

The apothecary will be closed this Thursday but we will have extended hours leading up to the 25th. We'll be open 12-4pm Friday the 19th through Wednesday the 24th.
Then catch us for any last minute shopping/stocking up the 26th-29th before we take our Winter break.

If you're local, this Wednesday is the final .flora farmstand of the year and we'll be there with more Elderberry Syrup, Fire Cider, Herbal Tea Blends, & fresh Turmeric!

If you're planning on shopping the farmstand and want me to bring anything else from the apothecary (like any of our tinctures or salves) please let me know by the end of the day.

Thank you for supporting your local farmers - we'll see you back up the creek in May! πŸŒ±πŸ’•πŸ™

Hi friends,

Here's a blurry picture that matches how blurry the days are feeling πŸ™ƒ As the bustle of Black Friday grows and more and more businesses are announcing their deep discounts, we want to share a little reminder...

I'm going to preface this with:
**This is not meant to shame other small businesses - we fully understand that times are tight and vulnerable for most of us small business owners and we're all pivoting the best we can.**

Unlike many businesses, we don't participate in Black Friday (we're actually closed that day) or Cyber Monday. You won't see any door busters, extreme deals, or blowout sales from us. Something we strive for in our business is accessibility and in order to keep our products at an accessible price point for as many folks as possible (while still being able to pay our own bills) we don't have huge profit margins that allow 50-75% off discounts nor do we have a massive inventory to move (small batch is, and will always be, our focus).

If you're holding off on stocking your wellness arsenal in case of a potential major bargain that just can't be beat, we're sorry if this message disappoints you. However, we're still planning on having our annual Winter Solstice Sale for both the website and the apothecary (spoiler alert, everything will be 15% off).

As you do your shopping this year, we invite you to join us in focusing on thoughtful purchasing and genuine support for small businesses like ours. We're incredibly grateful for all of our customers and it's not lost on us that you could spend your dollars elsewhere. It's been an honor to serve you over the years.

As always, thank you for including us on your wellness journey and being a part of this ever expanding village.

Today is the last day to order your Winter Herb Box!

This has been such a fun project for me these past three years and I'm excited about what I have in mind for this final box.

Inside you'll find 7-9 handcrafted herbal products thoughtfully curated to support you throughout the season, a product guide, and exclusive discount codes.

They will all ship out by December 15th or you can arrange for local pickup at the apothecary.

✨ Turmeric ✨

The medicine garden may be tucked in until Spring but the greenhouse feels like a tropical wonderland right now and we just started digging gorgeous Turmeric rhizomes out of ground.

I'll be set up at the Valley Flora Farmstand in Langlois tomorrow (Wednesday) from 11:30-2:30 slinging fresh Turmeric, some of our herbal tea blends, freshly bottled Elderberry Syrup and Fire Cider, and MAYBE some Ginger🀞🏼

Looking forward to seeing everyone up the creek again - it's been awhile!

✨Seasonal Herb Boxes✨
For those of you who didn't sign up for our CSH (Community Supported Herbalism) I recently made some more boxes available on the website.

This listing is for WINTER boxes only and is open until November 15th, or until we sell out - whichever happens first. Boxes can be shipped anywhere in the US (or picked up at the apothecary) and are expected to be delivered to you on or around December 21st.

Also, I'm making some big shifts next year and we won't be offering these in 2026 so if you've been wanting one for yourself or for a loved one (they are fantastic gifts!) this is your last chance!

The season is shifting and so are our hours. We ended the last day of our Summer hours with a bang (thank you so much Port Goreford enthusiasts!) and now it's time to embrace the shorter days.

Beginning next week we'll be open on Thursdays again and Mondays are going to be a little more sporadic. If the lights and sign are on, come on in. If you're ever unsure or need to make an appointment please reach out.

We'll also be set up at the Valley Flora farmstand on November 12th & 19th with fresh Turmeric, Elderberry Syrup, Fire Cider, and more.

If you're one of our cider heads you can thank Allen for this batch (and all future batches πŸ˜…). Not only does he make our fire cider but he grows most of the ingredients that we use too. Our goal is to eventually have a 100% OHG grown version one day🀞🏼Our horseradish tanked this year so we'll continue to try try again.

Available in the apothecary and on the website πŸŒ±πŸ’•πŸ™

We are excited to participate in the first-ever Port Goreford Halloween Celebration with Port Orford Main Street and !!

From October 24 to 31, adventurers of all ages are invited to hunt for special Kraken coins hidden at participating local businesses. πŸ™πŸ’°

Every coin you return earns you an entry into one of three prize packages; treasures and experiences from Port Orford’s most beloved local businesses worth over $2,300 total!Β 

How to Play the Kraken’s Treasure Hunt:

🟣 Start by picking up your free Kraken coin and treasure map at the Visitor Center (open daily 10-4).
