hi,

I’m Emily, founder of Herb Friends.

My interest in herbal medicine began in 2015 after joining the South Carolina Herbal Society in Charleston, SC. Through monthly meetings and workshops I was drawn into the world of plants.

I moved back to my hometown of Ithaca, NY in 2016 to study formally with Tammi Sweet and Kris Miller of Heartstone Center for Earth Essentials. I have since studied with Suzanne Johnson at Wildmoon Homesteading and most recently, with CoreyPine Shane at the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine.

I created Herb Friends to share my love of herbs with you. I am happy to offer small batch herbal products made with thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

My herb friends are the people that have connected me to plants, the friends I’ve made while learning about plants, and of course, the plants themselves.

Thank you for being here.

xoxo
