Seed and Thistle Apothecary

Seed and Thistle Apothecary An educational resource that centers and amplifies BIPOC voices within herbalism through Atabey Medi

Seed and Thistle Apothecary stems from a clinical herbalist whose name is Lara Pacheco. I, Lara Pacheco, provide a monthly pickup of seasonally based herbal preparations from the Cully neighborhood in Northeast Portland. These herbal preparations derive from plant medicine that I have organically grown in my yard or ethically harvested from our surrounding forests. Seed and Thistle also sells these medicinal goods at the Parkrose Farmer's Markets on Saturdays and the Cully Market on Sundays. Workshops and classes throughout the season are also in the works along with Individual Consultations to help along the journey of optimal health!

“The times are urgent; let us slow down. Slowing down is losing our way-not a human capacity or human capability. It is the invitations that are now in the world-at-large, inviting us to listen deeply, to be keen, to be fresh, to be quick with our heels, to follow the sights and sounds and smells of the world.”-Bayo Akomolafe. Go get some community acupuncture from my dear friend, a power house mom, Felicia. She uses the space at Turn!Turn!Turn! on N Williams,Tuesday+Thursday, 9-2pm, Wednesday 9-1pm and Saturdays 9-1pm with Mo! More info

Happy Earth plane birthday dear brother! I miss you every day but take joy in knowing you’re at peace. I see you in my skin when it turns brown in the summer, in your kids faces, I feel you in the ocean, I hear you when your boys hum in pleasure when they eat, I see you in the pain and struggle in the patients I treat, and see you in the houseless on the street for your heart cared immensely especially for those who suffered greatly. I hear your affirmations towards me as a caretaker. I love you.
