❤️ Freezer Meals Available for Those in Need ❤️

Times are tough for many right now, and we want our community to know that help and kindness are close to home. The Wild Ramp has free freezer meals available for anyone in need. Stop by the market this week and pick one up while supplies last.

A huge thank you to our friends at West Virginia Food & Farm Coalition and Healthy Kids Inc for helping make this possible. Partnerships like these remind us of what community care looks like — neighbors supporting neighbors.

Ooooh!!! Okay facebook!

Is this new? I should check my professional dashboard more often.

If you're new, HELLO!

Sometimes I forget that these little jars go farther than my own front porch.
Then I’ll see someone pull one out of their travel bag and call it a “must-have,” and I just stop for a second.

What started on my kitchen counter is now tagging along on work trips to New York City. It’s one thing to believe in what you make, it’s another to see other people believe in it too.

I’ll never get over seeing something I made by hand become part of someone’s everyday life. Thank you, Aliyah, for sharing Frankinsalve!

I’m curious, how many of these sound familiar?

• Fatigue
• Muscle cramps
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Constipation
• Mood swings

If you said “yep” to more than one… it might be magnesium.

Nearly 80% of adults are deficient, and it affects everything from your energy to your sleep.

I make Magnesium Butter because it absorbs through the skin bypassing the gut. It's fast, gentle, and effective.

If you know, you know!

Vacation? No thanks, Could’ve been sipping margaritas… but apparently I prefer labeling jars.

People ask why I don’t have a storefront.
The truth is… I don’t need one.

Old City Apothecary started right here in my home, and it still makes the most sense to keep it that way. I save on overhead, I don’t owe anyone money and my “commute” is just a walk down the stairs. I get to focus on what actually matters... making high-quality products that help people!

My products are already in over a dozen stores across the country, and I ship orders nationwide every week. Working from home means freedom… not limitation.

Comfrey is one of my favorite plants to grow... it’s tough, fast-growing and endlessly useful. The leaves are rich in minerals and make incredible compost or fertilizer (your garden will thank you). I use the cleanest leaves for oil infusions. Comfrey’s known as “knitbone” for a reason. It’s a traditional herb for supporting skin, joints, and recovery.

I make tea for the multitaskers, the night owls, and the ones who forget to reheat their coffee three times before switching to tea.

✦ Latte Gains — for when you’ve lifted heavy things and deserve a treat

✦ Evenfall — for when you finally sit down

✦ Mother’s Well — for when you never get to

All new, all delicious, all made for real people doing their best, for different stages of life.

Unpopular opinion…
I don’t offer preorders and I’ll never leave orders open. I only list what I actually have ready to ship.

I see other herbalists apologizing on social media for delays after a surge of orders… and that’s great for them! But if I don’t have a product ready to fill an order, I’m not going to sell it.

Sure, I probably miss out on some money. But I’m one person, and I’d rather sell out and restock than have customers waiting or complaining. I know myself… reading a bunch of upset emails would really bother me.

So if a product is sold out, I’m sorry…
but it will be back.
And honestly, what’s the difference between waiting for a restock or waiting for it to ship?

You may think you’re relaxed, but you’ll never be as relaxed as a woman covered in magnesium body butter, sipping salted lemon water, listening to her puppy snore and ignoring 947 unread emails.

Anyone else measure life in jars of magnesium body butter?

Washer – 45 jars
Vet bill – 8 jars
Groceries – 11 jars
Gutters – 100 jars

It’s fine… I’ll just go make more butter... and I'm going to need 50ish of you to place an order!

🤣🤣🤣

I call this small business math.
