Did you know Herbalist Day is coming up this Friday (April 17th)? 🌿
Yes indeedy... And today is National Gardening Day! 🌿💚
​Before we get to the big celebration, I wanted to take a moment today to thank the plants that started it all for us. Whether it’s the resilient Dandelion in the yard or the soothing Marshmallow root in our apothecary, nature provides so much more than just ingredients—it provides a connection.
​As we celebrate National Gardening Day today, I’m curious: which herb first sparked your interest in herbalism? Let’s swap stories!

We have a Secret -- From the Soil to Your Table…
We’ve been quietly working in the workshop and the herb room… and this weekend, we’re finally ready to share something special at the farm stand.

From our own fallen Black Walnut trees, we’ve crafted something rustic, beautiful, and made for gathering. Each piece carries a story from the land itself—100% farm-grown and handcrafted here at Horse-n-Bear Ranch.

But every beautiful presentation needs the right flavor.
So we created something new…
An herbal blend we’re calling Sacred Ground—a true taste of the farm. The first in our Holler to Hearth line - kitchen cupboard herbal blends.

We’ve even been experimenting with it in the kitchen today, and it’s already become a favorite:
✨ Mixed into a creamy veggie dip
✨ Sprinkled over deviled eggs (our favorite!)
✨ Used as a savory rub for chicken
✨ Swirled into olive oil for simple, unforgettable dipping
Curious what we’ve been up to?
Come by the farm stand this Saturday or Sunday (9am–5pm) and experience the full reveal for yourself.
Ok ok, the reveal is in the comments too 😁 👇

The uncool sunglasses they make you wear after dilating your eyes 🙄😎 I got poked in the eye by a big piece of hay a week ago. My eye got bloody and it hurt. I self treated with homeopathic drops and an herbal eyewash both in the eye and drank the tea. It healed but I developed a floater. Turns out it's not related to the poke but is age related. Back to the eye wash that will become my tea as well for as long as necessary. Recipe in the comments 👇

Don't mow your medicine! 🌼

My harvest is small so far this year, but that’s the beauty of a tincture. It takes these few fleeting spring blooms and preserves them for months. One jar of violets becomes 50 doses of respiratory support.

I have a free guide on how to do this yourself...

Comment 'VIOLET' and I'll send you the guide!

Our Story

Established as an online business in 2000. We opened a retail location during the summer of 2011 until 2014 in Gettysburg. After we closed the store in Gettysburg, we moved The Herb Peddler back to being exclusively an online business primarily offering Nature’s Sunshine Products. www.TheHerbPeddler.com. We plan to bring back soon an inventory of our most popular herbs/herb blends/supplements we can ship out to you. We look forward to helping you with your natural well-being!
