Herbal Revolution

Growing up in Maine, I spent every moment I could spare outside, climbing trees, running through the fields and woods, meeting the plants and animals in our area. I learned what plants liked to live in the woods, on the edge of fields, and which ones were edible and medicinal. In my late teens, I was living in the woods off grid and working on organic farms and teaching outdoor education. During this time I was fully immersed in living with the land, deepening my relationships with plants, and expanding my knowledge of how to create plant medicines while working closely with the plants in my bioregion. By 2010 I was inspired to start my own organic herb farm & herbal products business, which was really just an extension, literally, of my lifestyle. I took my passion for plant based medicine, organic farming and started Herbal Revolution and have been bootstrapping this badass business ever since. The name Herbal Revolution was inspired by dandelions. The resilience of dandelions and its tenacity has always inspired me. The way it grows up through the concrete sidewalks and parking lots is powerful and indicative of its medicine. At this point in my life, I have over 25 years of experience working as an organic farmer, botanical formulator and community herbalist. Working with whole plant based medicine and sustainable, organic farming is the heart of this business. This is our life and passion. We're the real deal. I get to work with an amazing team who also have a passion for the land, environment, social/civil justice, our communities and a passion for what we create. We have received awards from the AHG, IHS and New England Made Shows. Featured in Down East Magazine, New York Post, Maine Women Magazine, Boston Globe, New York Times, Mother Earth News, Bangor Daily News and HerbalGram and received awards from ABC and AHG for my work with the Fire Cider 3 and Tradition Not Trademark.
