The Hometown Herbalist
Whether you’re working from a kitchen table, selling at farmers markets, shipping from a spare bedroom, or dreaming of a small shop like mine — this course is designed to support you in building an herbal business.
I began making herbal products in my home kitchen over a decade ago followed by opening my herb shop on our property three years ago. I have spent all of these years researching, refining, and learning what it takes to sell herbal products legally, confidently, and efficiently.
My business has allowed me to be present for my family while building something meaningful — and I’m passionate about helping other women, mothers, and grandmothers do the same. I believe the Lord has breathed this passion onto me, and that it’s His desire to see working community herbalist dotted across counties everywhere, serving our communities with the gift of wellness found in His Creation.
I made mistakes in the beginning.
I researched but the answers were not too easy to find. I watched what others were doing and assumed they were right in how they labeled, described, and sold their products — and the truth is, some of those approaches could have gotten me in trouble.
Once I learned where I was out of alignment, I felt overwhelmed trying to fix it.
But as I worked through the process, I noticed over and over again: other herbalists were making the same mistakes.
That’s why I’ve worked so hard to make this course clear, practical, and easy to follow.
I want you to feel organized, legal, confident, and productive — without the panic, confusion, or years of trial-and-error.
